Title: Outofshapeworthlessloser: A Memoir of Figure Skating, F*cking Up, and Figuring It Out Author: Gracie Gold Narrator: Gracie Gold Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 39 minutes Release date: February 6, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.6 of Total 5 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 2 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A “piercing account” (The Wall Street Journal) of surviving as a young woman in a society that rewards appearances more than anything and demands perfection at all costs—especially if you’re an Olympic figure skater. “A riveting memoir, which details her experience with an eating disorder, depression and her high-stakes career.”—People (Best Books to Read in February 2024) When Gracie Gold stepped onto center stage (or ice, rather) as America’s sweetheart at the 2014 Sochi Olympics, she instantly became the face of America’s most beloved winter sport. Beautiful, blonde, Midwestern, and media-trained, she was suddenly being written up everywhere from The New Yorker to Teen Vogue to People and baking cookies with Taylor Swift. But little did the public know what Gold was facing when the cameras were off, driven by the self-destructive voice inside that she calls “outofshapeworthlessloser.” In 2017, she entered treatment for what was publicly announced as an eating disorder and anxiety treatment but was, in reality, suicidal ideation. While Gold’s public star was rising, her private life was falling apart: Cracks within her family were widening, her bulimia was getting worse, and she became a survivor of sexual assault. The pressure of training for years with demanding coaches and growing up in a household that accepted nothing less than gold had finally taken its toll. Now Gold reveals the exclusive and harrowing story of her struggles in and out of the pressure-packed world of elite figure skating: the battles with her family, her coaches, the powers-that-be at her federation, and her deteriorating mental health. Outofshapeworthlessloser is not only a forceful reckoning from a world-class athlete but also an intimate memoir, told with unflinching honesty and stirring defiance.

Making a certain kind of video with my enemy (who happens to be everyone's favorite baseball player) was not my proudest moment, but I blame the alcohol for Spencer's smirk three seconds before our clothes ended up on the floor for our one-night mistake. He said he deleted the video, which is why I didn't expect the jerk to interrupt my date a few months later to break the news that we have a problem. His solution is to avoid the press by staying at his lake house to hide away and I stupidly agree. The next thing I know, I have two tiny eyes staring at me. Yep, I discover Spencer is a hot single dad to a cute little girl secret. And that's not the only twist, because the small town by the lake seems to bring us closer; all of us. Spencer and my arguments fizzle out, and our looks grow longer. We talk like it matters and study one another's bodies. It feels like we are in our own little world. And in the end, I'm not sure if it's Spencer or me who's trying to convince us we may just be worth the chance . . . Contains mature themes.

En los gélidos confines de la Rusia soviética, la audaz y temeraria Nina Markova se une a las célebres Brujas de la Noche, un regimiento de bombardeo nocturno formado exclusivamente por mujeres. Al verse obligada a aterrizar tras las líneas enemigas, Nina habrá de recurrir a todo su ingenio para sobrevivir a su encuentro con una implacable asesina nazi conocida como la Cazadora.

Title: [Spanish] - Romeo y Julieta (Íntegra) Author: William Shakespeare Narrator: Elliott Cooper Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 20 minutes Release date: August 28, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3.5 of Total 2 Genres: Theatre & Radio Publisher's Summary: Romeo y Julieta de William Shakespeare - (título en inglés: Romeo and Juliet o The Most Excellent and Lamentable Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, La excelente y lamentable tragedia de Romeo y Julieta, 1597) es una tragedia del dramaturgo inglés William Shakespeare. Cuenta la historia de dos jóvenes que, a pesar de la oposición de sus familiares, rivales entre sí, deciden casarse de forma ilegal y vivir juntos; sin embargo, la presión de esa rivalidad y una serie de fatalidades conducen a que la pareja elija el suicidio antes que vivir separados. Esta relación entre sus protagonistas se ha convertido en el arquetipo de los llamados amantes desventurados o star-crossed lovers. Nota La muerte de ambos, sin embargo, supone la reconciliación de las dos familias. Argumento La representación comienza con una disputa callejera entre los Montesco y los Capuleto. El príncipe de Verona, Della Escala, interviene entre ellos y declara un acuerdo de paz que en caso de ser violado habría de ser pagado con la muerte. Después de los sucesos, el conde Paris -pariente del príncipe Della Escala-, se reúne con el señor Capuleto para conversar sobre la idea de contraer matrimonio con su hija Julieta, pero el señor Capuleto le pide que espere durante un plazo de dos años más, tiempo tras el cual cumpliría quince años. Aprovechando el ofrecimiento, le sugiere que organice un baile familiar de carácter formal para celebrar tal acontecimiento. Mientras tanto, la señora Capuleto y la nodriza de Julieta intentan convencer a la joven de que acepte casarse con Paris. En diferentes circunstancias, Benvolio habla con su primo Romeo -hijo de los Montesco-, sobre su más reciente depresión. Convencido de que la tristeza de su primo se debe al amor no correspondido de una joven llamada Rosalina -sobrina del señor Capuleto-, Benvolio le informa acerca del baile familiar de los Capuleto. Finalmente, Romeo acepta acudir sin invitación a la ceremonia, esperando encontrarse con Rosalina. No obstante, cuando llega al hogar de los Capuleto, se encuentra con Mercucio -pariente del príncipe Della Escala y amigo de Romeo-, este le cuenta el sueño que tuvo, pero Mercucio no le cree y le dice que trate de bailar adentro del baile familiar de carácter formal para celebrar el acontecimiento de los Capuleto. Cuando Romeo está adentro del baile, se encuentra con Julieta y se enamora perdidamente de ella. Julieta le pregunta a la nodriza sobre quién es él, a lo que ella le responde que es Romeo de los Montesco lo que hizo quedar impactada por la belleza de Romeo. Tras concluir el baile, en la secuencia conocida como 'la escena del balcón', Romeo se infiltra en el patio de los Capuleto y escucha secretamente a Julieta, quien está en el balcón de su dormitorio, admitiendo su amor por él a pesar de la hostilidad entre su familia y los Montesco. Romeo 'toma la palabra', se sube al balcón y ambos empiezan a intercambiar promesas apasionadas. Después, Romeo se retira a toda prisa justo antes de que la nodriza de Julieta la llama.
