2019:
A New
Year in Audiobooks
Finally
Full, Finally Slim by Lisa R. Young, Phd, RDN
30 Days to Permanent
Weight Loss One Portion at a Time
Narrated
by Elisabeth Rodgers / Hachette Audio: 6 hours 57 minutes
We're
surrounded by food portions we've been led to believe
are normal-64-ounce sodas, personal pizzas large enough
to feed several people, and steaks and pastas that
fill an entire plate. No wonder obesity rates in America
have reached an all-time high. We eat oversize portions,
gain weight, and try the latest fad diet, which only
adds to our confusion about how to lose weight.
Nutritionist
and portion-size expert Dr. Lisa R. Young says the
solution is simple: Eat foods you love in reasonable
portions, and you will lose your excess weight and
keep it off for good.

The
Wrong Highlander by Lynsay Sands
Highland Brides #7
Narrated
by Gary Furlong / HarperAudio: 8 hours and 51 minutes
Lady
Evina Maclean has heard much about Rory Buchanan's
skill as a healer. What she hasn't heard is how good
the brawny Highlander looks bathing in a waterfall.
But Evina can't afford the distraction, for her ailing
father urgently needs care. Only when she's rendered
Buchanan unconscious and dragged him back to her family's
castle does the truth emerge - it's not Rory she's
kidnapped but his brother, Conran.
Other
ladies try to ensnare Conran with flattery. Evina
hits him over the head with the hilt of her sword
to save her kin - and Conran likes the spirited redhead
all the more for it. He's learned enough from his
brother to heal Evina's father, but there are other
dangers swirling around the Maclean clan. And while
the beautiful, independent lady has sworn not to marry,
this wrong Highlander may be just the right man for
her.

The
Golden Tresses of the Dead by Alan Bradley
Flavia
de Luce Series #10
Narrated
by Jayne Entwistle / Random House Audio: 8 hours and
51 minutes
Although
it is autumn in the small English town of Bishop's
Lacey, the chapel is decked with exotic flowers. Yes,
Flavia de Luce's sister, Ophelia, is at last getting
hitched, like a mule to a wagon. "A church is
a wonderful place for a wedding", muses Flavia,
"surrounded as it is by the legions of the dead,
whose listening bones bear silent witness to every
promise made at the altar."
Flavia
is not your normal 12-year-old girl. An expert in
the chemical nature of poisons, she has solved many
mysteries, sharpening her considerable detection skills
to the point where she had little choice but to turn
professional. So Flavia and dependable Dogger, estate
gardener and sounding board extraordinaire, set up
shop at the once-grand mansion of Buckshaw, eager
to serve - not so simple an endeavor with her odious
little moon-faced cousin Undine constantly underfoot.
But
Flavia and Dogger persevere. Little does she know
that their first case will be extremely close to home,
beginning with an unwelcome discovery in Ophelia's
wedding cake: a human finger.
