It had been a make-or-break holiday for their marriage, but Natasha and Rob’s rekindled romance is short-lived when their daughter’s beloved soft toy disappears on the journey home. As Natasha comforts her distraught child, she turns to social media for help. Miraculously, the toy is found, but it has become the lucky mascot of a man named Duffy, who is thousands of miles away trekking in Nepal. When Duffy promises to keep Natasha updated with pictures, a correspondence begins that soon becomes more meaningful. Sometimes, Natasha feels this stranger half way across the world understands her more than the man lying next to her. But as the weeks pass and Duffy heads deeper into the mountains, Natasha notices a change in him. Then one day, the messages stop. Too late, Natasha wonders why he had ever needed a lucky mascot at all. https://library.haltonbc.info/e-books/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6Qx_XCvzZQyt:video:U6Qx_XCvzZQThu, 30 Nov 2023 13:41:51 GMTU6Qx_XCvzZQUCfY-in24Q6Rkpn9WjaX4Z_gThe Grumpus by Alex T.

But at least the wars that once ravaged the country have ceased. The Buried Giant begins as a couple, Axl and Beatrice, set off across a troubled land of mist and rain in the hope of finding a son they have not seen for years. They expect to face many hazards - some strange and other-worldly - but they cannot yet foresee how their journey will reveal to them dark and forgotten corners of their love for one another. Sometimes savage, often intensely moving, Kazuo Ishiguro's first novel in a decade is about lost memories, love, revenge and war. https://library.haltonbc.info/e-books/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-MxkTcdnCwyt:video:n-MxkTcdnCwThu, 30 Nov 2023 13:33:55 GMTn-MxkTcdnCwUCfY-in24Q6Rkpn9WjaX4Z_gThe Book of Joan by Lidia Yuknavitch eAudio #eaudiobooksNew York Times Book Review Editor's Choice 25 Most Anticipated Books by Women for 2017, Elle Magazine 32 Most Exciting Books Coming Out in 2017, BuzzFeed 15 Best Books of 2017, Esquire 33 New Books to Read in 2017, Huffington Post In the near future, world wars have transformed the earth into a battleground. Fleeing the unending violence and the planet's now-radioactive surface, humans have regrouped to a mysterious platform known as CIEL, hovering over their erstwhile home. The changed world has turned evolution on its head: the surviving humans have become sexless, hairless, pale-white creatures floating in isolation, inscribing stories upon their skin. Out of the ranks of the endless wars rises Jean de Men, a charismatic and bloodthirsty cult leader who turns CIEL into a quasi-corporate police state. A group of rebels unite to dismantle his iron rule - galvanised by the heroic song of Joan, a child-warrior who possesses a mysterious force that lives within her. A riveting tale of destruction and love found in the direst of places, Lidia Yuknavitch's The Book of Joan raises questions about what it means to be human, the fluidity of sex and gender, and the role of art as a means for survival. It's a genre-defying masterpiece that may very well rewire your brain. https://library.haltonbc.info/e-books/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waX4JNjLOJQyt:video:waX4JNjLOJQThu, 30 Nov 2023 13:30:50 GMTwaX4JNjLOJQUCfY-in24Q6Rkpn9WjaX4Z_gThe Vanishing of Margaret Small by Neil Alexander eAudio #eaudiobooksMeet Margaret Small: 75, plain spoken, Whitstable native and a Cilla Black super fan. Shortly after the death of her idol, Margaret begins receiving sums of money in the post, signed simply 'C'. She is convinced it must be Cilla, but how can it be? To solve the mystery of her benefactor Margaret must go back in her memories almost 70 years, to the time when she was 'vanished' to a long-stay institution for children with learning disabilities. An absorbing and page-turning mystery with a dual timeline, The Vanishing of Margaret Small takes readers into a fascinating past, and introduces an unforgettable literary heroine. https://library.haltonbc.info/e-books/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtSLjup_TUwyt:video:LtSLjup_TUwThu, 30 Nov 2023 13:26:14 GMTLtSLjup_TUwUCfY-in24Q6Rkpn9WjaX4Z_gThe Empire by Michael Ball eAudio #eaudiobooks #michaelballWelcome to The Empire Theatre. 'It's the jewel of the north, The Empire. Lord Lassiter bought it for his second wife, Lady Lillian and she supervised every detail of the restoration. There's not a finer theatre in the country'. But The Empire is not just a theatre. From music hall to vaudeville, from revue to grand musical spectacular, it holds a special place in the nation's heart. For its audience, for its actors and singers, for the stagehands, the front-of-house staff, for its backers and its debtors - and above all for its owners - it truly is a palace of dreams. And for young Jack Treadwell, struggling to adapt to civilian life after the war, it's a lifeline. Looking for work, he arrives at The Empire, it's owned by the family of his former commanding officer, Edmund Lassiter so he hopes to be given a chance. But as Jack soon discovers, it is not just the actors who are donning a disguise. With whispers of a cover-up, a scandal and sibling rivalry, tensions rise, along with the curtain. For there is treachery at the heart of The Empire and a dark secret waiting in the wings. Can Jack discover the truth before it is too late, and the theatre that means so much to them all goes dark? Following the lives, loves and scandals of the Lassiter and Treadwell families, from the aftermath of the Great War and the Roaring Twenties to the dark days of the Second World War and the Blitz, Michael Ball's debut fiction series charts the story of the high notes and the low notes of British musical theatre in all its glamour, greasepaint and glory. https://library.haltonbc.info/e-books/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaJTHDGXtzQyt:video:TaJTHDGXtzQThu, 30 Nov 2023 13:22:54 GMTTaJTHDGXtzQUCfY-in24Q6Rkpn9WjaX4Z_gDaughter of Darkness by Katharine and Elizabeth Corr eAudio #eaudiobooksEnter the Underworld in an epic new fantasy, where the Gods of ancient Greece rule everything but fate. Deina is trapped. As one of the Soul Severers serving the god Hades on earth, her future is tied to the task of shepherding the dying on from the mortal world - unless she can earn or steal enough to buy her way out. Then the tyrant ruler Orpheus offers both fortune and freedom to whoever can retrieve his dead wife, Eurydice, from the Underworld. Deina jumps at the chance. But to win, she must enter an uneasy alliance with a group of fellow Severers she neither likes nor trusts. So begins their perilous journey into the realm of Hades. . . The prize of freedom is before her - but what will it take to reach it?

LET THE GAME BEGIN Lily Armitage never intended to return to Endgame House - the grand family home where her mother died twenty-one Christmases ago. Until she receives a letter from her aunt, asking her to return to take part in an annual tradition: the Christmas Game. The challenge? Solve twelve clues, to find twelve keys. The prize? The deeds to the manor house. Lily has no desire to win the house. But her aunt makes one more promise: The clues will also reveal who really killed Lily's mother all those years ago. So, for the twelve days of Christmas, Lily must stay at Endgame House with her estranged cousins and unravel the riddles that hold the key not just to the family home, but to its darkest secrets. However, it soon becomes clear that her cousins all have their own reasons for wanting to win the house - and not all of them are playing fair. As a snowstorm cuts them off from the village, the game turns deadly. Soon Lily realises that she is no longer fighting for an inheritance, but for her life. Twelve clues. Twelve keys. Twelve days of Christmas. But who will survive until Twelfth Night? https://library.haltonbc.info/e-books/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vDcpNugvFAyt:video:9vDcpNugvFAThu, 30 Nov 2023 13:13:37 GMT9vDcpNugvFAUCfY-in24Q6Rkpn9WjaX4Z_gYou Have To Make Your Own Fun Around Here by Frances Macken eAudio #eaudiobooksA funny, poignant tale of youth, envy and the dark side of friendship.

All the things that made Christmas special are gone: the human connection, the baubles passed down through generations, even the rubbish cracker jokes. Instead, Christmas is run by robots, while 3D holograms of Santa Claus called Santavatars check if you’ve been naughty or nice – and on Christmas Eve, all of the presents are delivered by ZoneDrones instead of Santa’s reindeer! But when they stumble on a curious clue, 11-year-old Etta and her friend Monty find themselves thrown into a fight to bring back Christmas. Racing against time and against the might of Winterzone, they must find the real Santa – before the true meaning of the festive season is lost forever ... https://library.haltonbc.info/e-books/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhUFocsX1csyt:video:uhUFocsX1csWed, 29 Nov 2023 16:24:09 GMTuhUFocsX1csUCfY-in24Q6Rkpn9WjaX4Z_gThe Hope Dealer by Caitlin Cady eAudio #eaudiobooksDelivered with Caitlin Cady’s signature wit, warmth and wisdom, each of the 101 messages will up the ante on your day, help you tune in to your highest self and plug into your full potential.

That is until a mysterious someone starts sending strange gifts to widower Henry and his two children. Before they know it, the Sullivans’ home is overwhelmed with boisterous animals and house guests, all demanding their attention.

Two thousand miles from his mother's protective love, stranded at an unusual boarding school, his vulnerability attracts piano teacher Miss Miriam Cornell, leaving scars as well as a memory of love that will never fade. Now, when his wife vanishes, leaving him alone with his tiny son, Roland is forced to confront the reality of his restless existence. As the radiation from Chernobyl spreads across Europe, he begins a search for answers that looks deep into his family history and will last for the rest of his life. Haunted by lost opportunities, he seeks solace through every possible means – music, literature, friends, sex, politics and finally love cut tragically short, then love ultimately redeemed. His journey raises important questions for us all. Can we take full charge of the course of our lives without causing damage to others? And what can we really learn from the traumas of the past? https://library.haltonbc.info/e-books/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBEpCE69PJkyt:video:uBEpCE69PJkWed, 29 Nov 2023 15:41:29 GMTuBEpCE69PJkUCfY-in24Q6Rkpn9WjaX4Z_gMarple eAudio #agathachristieThis collection of 12 original short stories, all featuring Jane Marple, will introduce the character to a whole new generation.

It has been 45 years since Agatha Christie’s last Marple novel, Sleeping Murder, was published posthumously in 1976, and this collection of ingenious new stories by 12 Christie devotees will be a timely reminder of why Jane Marple remains the most famous fictional female detective of all time. https://library.haltonbc.info/e-books/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpx3EJbOnswyt:video:vpx3EJbOnswWed, 29 Nov 2023 15:31:12 GMTvpx3EJbOnswUCfY-in24Q6Rkpn9WjaX4Z_gGrunt The Beserker eAudio by Francesca Simon #eaudiobooksThe world's very worst Vikings are back to dash our hopes and fail our expectations in this second instalment in the Two Terrible Vikings series from international bestselling author Francesca Simon.
