For centuries past, and all across the world, there are words for a certain kind of woman. Words that raise our hackles, fire up our blood. Words that tell a story. In this blazing cauldron of a book, the boldest writers of our day take up these words and take up their pen, celebrating fifty years of Virago.

This electrifying new audiobook thrives on revealing, not resolving, the ambiguities of Shakespeare's plays and their changing topicality. It introduces an intellectually, theatrically and ethically exciting writer who engages with intersectionality as much as with Ovid, with economics as much as poetry: who writes in strikingly modern ways about individual agency, privacy, politics, celebrity and sex.

A genius and prophet whose timeless works encapsulate the human condition like no other. A writer who surpassed his contemporaries in vision, originality, and literary mastery. A man who wrote like an angel, putting it all so much better than anyone else. Is this Shakespeare? Well, sort of. But it doesn't tell us the whole truth. So much of what we say about Shakespeare is either not true, or just not relevant.

Stephen King once said that books are “a uniquely portable magic.” Here, Emma Smith takes listeners on a literary adventure that spans centuries and circles the globe to uncover the reasons behind our obsession with this captivating object. From disrupting the Western myth that the Gutenberg Press was the original printing project, to the decorative gift books that radicalized women to join the anti-slavery movement, to paperbacks being weaponized during World War II, to a book made entirely of cheese, Portable Magic explores how, when, and why books became so iconic.

Women go through various life stages, with each moment bringing a new set of challenges and opportunities. Yet we rarely speak openly about these, or share our knowledge and solutions with each other. We use euphemisms to describe periods rather than saying the word. We don't acknowledge leakages or admit that we don't know how to find our pelvic floor or even what it does. We buy trendy sports bras without thinking how they work for breast health or exercise performance. We see young women giving up exercise in their teens to the detriment of their health at an older age.

Does it ever feel like everyone is living their best life? While you, on the other hand, find yourself reheating a frozen pizza while being three hours deep into a Netflix marathon, wondering where it all went wrong! It's nights like this that make even the hardiest of us want to throw in the towel and wave the white flag of defeat. I don’t possess a magic wand that will change your life overnight. What I do have is the key to help you unlock your true potential, and that's by helping you understand the power of your mind and how adopting a growth mindset will change your life.

Uprooted from her beloved Great Western Beach, Emma Smith moves with her family from Newquay to the Devonshire village of Crapstone. But the dust has hardly settled when tragedy strikes, and Emma’s father, a DSO-decorated hero of the Great War, is so frustrated by the hardship of life as a lowly bank clerk and by his thwarted artistic ambitions that he suffers a catastrophic breakdown - from which disaster Emma's resourceful mother rallies courageously. Then, in 1939, the war again becomes a reality.

[Contains explicit content] The Great Northwest isn't just Seattle and Portland. It ranges from the misty, artistic nerd havens of the coast to the deserts, forests, and cowboy country of Idaho and Montana to the vast expanse of Alaska. Jackie Kashian guides us on a sound collage of the Great Northwest that tackles this strange collection of independent spirits and incredible landscapes, but...in a funny way, people.

Most of what we say about books is really about the words inside them: the rosy nostalgic glow for childhood reading, the lifetime companionship of a much-loved novel. But books are things as well as words, objects in our lives as well as worlds in our heads. All books are, as Stephen King put it, 'a uniquely portable magic'. Here, Emma Smith shows us why. Portable Magic unfurls an exciting and iconoclastic new story of the book in human hands, exploring when, why and how it acquired its particular hold over us.

Und obwohl ich wusste, dass sie die Eine war, musste ich mich - gezwungenermaßen - gegen die Liebe meines Lebens entscheiden. Ich entscheide mich für sie und was tut Sarah? Sie zeigt mir, dass ich mich zwar in die umwerfendste Frau dieser Welt verliebt habe, aber eben auch in die sturste.

Für ein paar Wochen vertritt Olivia Martinez ihren Dad in seiner PR-Agentur und soll niemand Geringeren als Hollywoodstar Grayson Pierce betreuen. Doch je öfter Olivia Zeit mit dem schnittigen Schönling und seiner großen Klappe verbringt, desto klarer wird ihr, dass sich unter der schillernden Oberfläche des Grayson Pierce viel mehr verbirgt, als die Klatschblätter auch nur erahnen könnten. Plötzlich spürt Grayson wieder etwas - ein Gefühl, das ihn aus seiner Apathie katapultiert und ihm den Kopf verdreht.

Frauenheld, der keiner mehr sein möchte, trifft auf bindungsgestörte Leseratte, die nie etwas anderes sein wollte. Zoe weiß, dass jeder sie seltsam findet. Was ihr allerdings sehr gut passt, wenigstens bleiben ihr so Erklärungen für ihr Verhalten erspart.

What? Was he quack-ers? For months ducklings slept on his sofa and swam in his bathtub, making incredible messes. Quack! Quack! His roommate was not amused and his neighbors complained, but Robert did not give up. As the ducklings grew, he got down on his hands and knees and followed them with pad and pencil.
