“Katie Vaughn has been burned by love in the past–now she may be lighting her career on fire. She has two choices: wait to get laid off from her job as a video producer or, at her coworker Cole’s request, take a career-making gig profiling Tom “Hutch” Hutcheson, a Coast Guard rescue swimmer in Key West. The catch? Katie’s not exactly qualified. She can’t swim–but pretends that she can. Plus, Cole and Hutch are brothers. And they don’t get along. Next stop: paradise! But paradise is messier than it seems. As Katie gets entangled with Hutch (the most scientifically good-looking man she has ever seen…but maybe a bit of a love hater), along with his colorful aunt Rue and his rescue Great Dane, she gets trapped in a lie. Or two. Swim lessons, helicopter flights, conga lines, drinking contests, hurricanes, and stolen kisses ensue–along with chances to tell the truth, to face old fears, and to be truly brave at last. “– From publisher. Unrated. Commercial audiobook.

“Twelve books. Twelve months. One chance to heal her heart … When Tilly Nightingale receives a call telling her there’s a birthday gift from her husband waiting for her at her local bookshop, it couldn’t come as more of a shock. Partly because she can’t remember the last time she read a book for pleasure. But mainly because Joe died five months ago …. When she goes to pick up the present, Alfie, the kind (and adorably bookish) bookshop owner, explains the gift-twelve carefully chosen books from Joe, one for each month, to help her turn the page on her first year without him. Her monthly trips to the bookstore — and heartfelt conversations with Alfie — give Tilly the comfort she craves and the courage to set out on a series of reading-inspired adventures that take her around the world. But as she begins to vlog her journey, her story becomes more than her own. With help from Alfie, her budding new following and her friends and family, can Tilly’s year of books show her how to love again?” — Provided by publisher. Strong language. Commercial audiobook.

Theo of golden: a novel DB131887
Author: Levi, Allen
Reading Time: 12 hours, 23 minutes
Read by: Vaan Solis
Subject: General Fiction
“Questions linger about Theo, a pleasant but mysterious stranger, after his arrival in the southern city of Golden. Who is he, and why is he here? He arrives early one spring and by chance — or is it? — he visits a coffee shop where 92 framed pencil portraits are on display. Inspired, Theo sets out on a mission of purchasing all the portraits one at a time and quietly bestowing them on their ‘rightful owners.’ Stories are told; friendships are born; and lives are changed. Theo of Golden is a beautifully crafted story about the power of creative generosity, the importance of wonder to a purposeful life, and the far-reaching possibilities of anonymous kindness.” — Provided by publisher. Some strong language.
