 In 1989, master storyteller Ken Follett wrote his best selling book of all time, Pillars
of the Earth. Set in the 12th century, this historical novel centered on the building of a cathedral and the hundreds
of lives it affected. The highly anticipated sequel, World Without End, has just released with a simultaneous CD release
of Pillars of the Earth. Both are wonderfully narrated by John Lee. Although both books are long (over 35 hours each),
I have these on my reading list!
Patricia Wood’s debut novel Lottery, stars Perry Crandall, who has an IQ of 76, but is not retarded, as he'll have
you know: his IQ would need to be less than 75 for that, and he knows the difference even if others may not. The story is
both funny and heartwarming.
The Lovely Bones, is one of the most rented audiobooks at All Ears. Author Alice Sebold, has just released her second
novel, Almost Moon. Other new releases in fiction include the lastest from Alexander McCall Smith, Love Over Scotland
(44 Scotland Street series), a new novel by Tom Perrotta (Little Children), The Abstinence Teacher, and Away,
by Amy Bloom.
Finally, I highly recommend Ann Patchett’s (author of Bel Canto) latest book, Run. I loved this book from the
beginning to the end and it will probably end up on my list of top ten audiobooks of the year. |

 Pulitzer Prize winning author Joseph Ellis has a new book releasing this month,
American Creation: Triumphs and Tragedies at the Founding of the Republic. Another title to recommend is Alan
Greenspan’s new memoir,
The Age of Turbulence. It has received many good reviews and had quite a bit of publicity.
Bill Bryson’s new book,
Shakespeare: the World as Stage is bound to be a best seller. One of last year’s holiday hits was You on a Diet.
This year will showcase, You Staying Young: the Owner’s Manual for Extending Your Warranty¸ by Michael Roizen and
Mehmet Oz. |

A couple of new titles to consider for listening to in January when they release are Stand
and Deliver: The Dale Carnegie Method to Public Speaking by Dale Carnegie and Wealth Magnet: Principles of Wealth Attraction
by Dolf de Roos. |

 Calling all Alex Rider fans! We have 2 more books from the series, Point Blank, and
the latest release, Ark Angel
 (yes, believe it or not, the series does NOT end with Scorpia! How does Alex survive?
You’ll have to listen and find out…). Because Alex Rider has been so popular, we will be getting Anthony Horowitz’s
The Power of Five series.
Some other great Young Adult releases include Elsewhere, by Gabrielle Zevin, A Crooked Kind of Perfect, by Linda
Urban, Gennifer Choldenko’s novel If a Tree Falls at Lunch Period (I just love that title!), and Airman by Eoin
Colfer. |
| Childrens |

 Peter and the Starcatchers has always been a surefire recommendation for children
and adults. The final installment in this trilogy, Peter and the Secret of Rundoon, releases this month, featuring,
of course, the talented Jim Dale as narrator.
Some other exciting books coming to the childrens section include Gail Carson Levine’s Fairest, and a new book by one
of my favorite children’s authors, Sharon Creech, The Castle Corona. |
