Title: The Spirit Circle Author: Tara Calaby Narrator: Sonya Kerr Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 4 minutes Release date: February 6, 2025 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: For Ellen Whitfield, the betrothal of her dear friend Harriet to Ellen's brother has brought both loss and solace. But when Harriet suddenly breaks off the engagement, ostensibly at the insistence of her deceased mother, Ellen is bewildered. And when she learns that Harriet is involved with a spiritualist group led by the charismatic Caroline McLeod, she fears losing her friend altogether. So it is that practical, sceptical Ellen moves into the gloomy East Melbourne mansion where Caroline, along with her enigmatic daughter Grace, has assembled a motley court of the bereaved. Ellen's intention is to expose the simple trickery—the hidden cabinets and rigged seances, the levers and wires—that must surely lie behind these visits from the departed. What she discovers is altogether more complicated. Tara Calaby weaves a compelling and richly detailed narrative around the romance of old Melbourne in this intriguing, possibly supernatural, historical mystery.

Title: Hammajang Luck: A Novel Author: Makana Yamamoto Narrator: Jolene Kim Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 48 minutes Release date: January 14, 2025 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 1 of Total 1 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: Ocean’s 8 meets Blade Runner in this trail-blazing debut science fiction novel and swashbuckling love letter to Hawai’i about being forced to find a new home and striving to build a better one—unmissable for fans of Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir and Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo. Edie is done with crime. Eight years behind bars changes a person—costs them too much time with too many of the people who need them most. And it’s all Angel’s fault. She sold Edie out in what should have been the greatest moment of their lives. Instead, Edie was shipped off to the icy prison planet spinning far below the soaring skybridges and neon catacombs of Kepler space station—of home—to spend the best part of a decade alone. But then a chance for early parole appears out of nowhere and Edie steps into the pallid sunlight to find none other than Angel waiting—and she has an offer. One last job. One last deal. One last target. The trillionaire tech god they failed to bring down last time. There’s just one thing Edie needs to do—trust Angel again—which also happens to be the last thing Edie wants to do. What could possibly go all hammajang about this plan?

Title: The Great Story and the Great Commission: Participating in the Biblical Drama of Mission (Acadia Studies in Bible and Theology) Author: Christopher JH Wright Narrator: Mike Chamberlain Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 1 minute Release date: December 10, 2024 Genres: Christianity Publisher's Summary: Christianity Today 2024 Book Award (Missions/Global Church) Outreach 2024 Resource of the Year (Mission and Cross-Cultural) Highly regarded biblical scholar and speaker Christopher Wright shows us that how we read the Bible has a profound impact on how we understand what mission is. According to Wright, 'People read (and preach) the Bible in tiny bits and pieces, for its promises or rules or doctrines, and fail to take it . . . as the true story of the universe, past, present, and future, within the plan and purposes of God—a story in which we are called to participate as coworkers with God.' Wright encourages us to explore the Bible's grand narrative and to bring the whole counsel of God in Scripture to our understanding of who we are and what we must do as God's people. He helps us understand mission in its broadest sense, including our creational responsibilities. Wright's goal is to get us excited about the dramatic vista of the whole Bible and to help us understand the breadth and depth of missional engagement that we are called to live as actors in that drama.

Title: How Nations Escape Poverty: Vietnam, Poland, and the Origins of Prosperity Author: Rainer Zitelmann Narrator: Jonathan Yen Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 45 minutes Release date: November 12, 2024 Genres: Economics Publisher's Summary: During the twentieth century, Vietnam and Poland were both victims not only of devastating wars, but also of socialist planned economies that destroyed whatever war hadn’t already. In 1990, Vietnam was still one of the poorest countries in the world, while Poland was one of the poorest in Europe. But in the three decades since then, both countries have drastically improved their citizens’ standards of living and escaped the vicious cycle of national poverty. In this book, Rainer Zitelmann identifies the reasons behind the sensational growth of both nations' economies, drawing out the lessons that other countries can learn from these two success stories. To explain the source of their success, he returns to Adam Smith's 1776 treatise, The Wealth of Nations: the only way to overcome poverty is through economic growth, and economic freedom is the crucial prerequisite for such growth. Developments over the past 250 years have proved Smith right. Despite these strides, almost ten percent of the world's population still lives in extreme poverty. So, what measures actually help to alleviate poverty today? Through a wealth of data and stories from the everyday lives of Polish and Vietnamese people who experienced reforms, Zitelmann demonstrates the persistent relevance of Smith's ideas to economic flourishing in the twenty-first century.

Title: The Magic Mountain 1 Author: Thomas Mann Narrator: The Scythe, Geoffrey Giuliano Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 19 minutes Release date: November 4, 2024 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: The Magic Mountain, by Thomas Mann, published in 1924, is a monumental novel that explores the themes of time, illness, and the search for meaning. Set in a tuberculosis sanatorium high in the Swiss Alps, the story follows Hans Castorp, a young German engineer who initially arrives at the Berghof sanatorium to visit his cousin Joachim but stays for seven years. This prolonged stay turns into an intellectual and spiritual journey that challenges and reshapes his understanding of life. The novel is rich in symbolism and allegory, using the isolated, almost surreal atmosphere of the sanatorium as a stage for exploring the cultural and ideological conflicts of pre-World War I Europe. In the cloistered world of the Berghof, Hans encounters a cast of characters who each embody different philosophies and worldviews, representing a spectrum of political, social, and spiritual ideologies. Two key influences on Hans are Settembrini, a rationalist and humanist who advocates progress, and Naphta, a Jesuit who supports radical and authoritarian ideals. Their debates introduce Hans to conflicting philosophies, and through these interactions, Mann explores themes of humanism, existentialism, and radicalism. Time in The Magic Mountain is almost a character of its own. In the sanatorium, time becomes elastic, with days blending together in an almost hypnotic rhythm, reflecting the timelessness and detachment from ordinary life. This strange suspension of time allows Hans to deeply ponder existence, mortality, and the purpose of life—ideas that might have remained hidden in the bustle of the everyday world. Mann’s writing combines humor, irony, and a philosophical depth that challenges readers to think critically about the ideas being discussed.

Title: The Chairman's Lounge: The inside story of how Qantas sold us out Author: Joe Aston Narrator: Joe Aston Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 47 minutes Release date: October 28, 2024 Genres: Business & Career Development Publisher's Summary: From the must-read journalist on how power, money and influence work in this country, the full story of how one of the nation’s favourite brands brought itself to ground. Before Covid, both Qantas and its CEO Alan Joyce were flying high, the darlings of customers, staff and investors. After Covid hit, only money mattered – in particular, the company’s share price and extraordinary executive bonuses. Illegally redundant workers, unethical flight credits, abysmal customer service, antique aircraft: these became Qantas’ new brand. How did things go so badly wrong? Why were customers at the end of the queue? And how did an increasingly autocratic Joyce constantly get his own way, with the Qantas board and with both Liberal and Labor governments, which handed over billions in subsidies and protected lucrative flight routes from foreign competition? For the first time, The Chairman’s Lounge tells the full story of how one company banked the nation’s loyalty and then cashed in on it. In his celebrated column Rear Window for the Australian Financial Review, Joe Aston’s reporting of the ethical failings of Qantas spurred the early retirement of its CEO and the resignation of its chairman. With fresh interviews and revelations, written in Aston’s trademark swashbuckling style, The Chairman’s Lounge is the definitive account of how Qantas was brought to ground and who did it. It is a parable of our times. ‘A masterclass in investigative journalism … A scathing, unflinching takedown of greed, delusion and a shameless abuse of power, both jaw-dropping and brilliantly incisive’ Adele Ferguson
