But Rachel hasn't come to Paris to mope she's come to bake. Hard. Because the search for Paris's next patisserie apprentice is about to begin! And super-chef judge Henri Salernes is an infamously tough cookie. But Rachel isn't about to let her confidence (or pastry) crumble. She's got one week, mounds of melt-in-the-mouth macaroons and towers of perfect profiteroles to prove that she really is a star baker. As well as clouds of flour, and wafts of chocolate and cinnamon, there's definitely a touch of Christmas magic in the air… Rachel hasn't come to Paris looking for a fairy-tale romance, but the city of love might gift-wrap her one anyway…]]></description><link>https://allendale.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C12332520</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://allendale.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C12332520</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Oliver, Jenny]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://allendale.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/12332520981</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle/><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780263266238/MC.GIF&amp;client=lakep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[I Know What You Are: The True Story of a Lonely Little Girl Abused by Those She Trusted Most]]></title><description><![CDATA[The moving true story of a little girl with Asperger syndrome, controlled and abused by the one person she called her friend.

Taylor had always struggled to make friends—she felt 'different'. Taylor never knew her father and her mother wasn't around much. She just didn't understand people and was alone and scared most of the time.

That was until, aged just 11, an older married man called Tom befriended her. She loved having someone who would talk to her, listen to her, a protector. But when he moved away a few months later she was easy prey to the gang of drug dealers and petty criminals who groomed and abused her, using her as a form of currency to appease their debtors and amuse their friends.

Increasingly isolated and desperate, it began to look as though the pattern of Taylor's life had been set—until she started to fight back, determined to build a safe future for herself, however long it took.]]></description><link>https://allendale.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C11638860</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://allendale.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C11638860</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Edison, Taylor, Smith, Jane]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://allendale.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/11638860981</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle/><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780008148034/MC.GIF&amp;client=lakep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Good Mother]]></title><description><![CDATA[Susan wakes up alone in a room she doesn't recognise, with no memory of how she got there.

Did they live happily ever after, or did their marriage, like so many royal marriages past and present, fizzle into a loveless round of duty? This all-new companion audiobook by Daisy Goodwin and Sara Sheridan transports listeners to the private world of Victoria and Albert. Though first cousins, they could not have been more different: Victoria was impulsive, emotional, and capricious, Albert cautious, self-controlled, and logical. But together they forged a bond with each other and with their people that would change the world. Drawing on letters and diaries and fresh insights into royal history, this compelling audiobook charts the constant ebb and flow of power within the couple's surprisingly ardent and modern marriage. Expertly arranged and full of rich insider detail, Victoria & Albert takes listeners behind the scenes of the magnificent TV drama, including fascinating, in-depth information on the actors, the props, and the costumes – and bringing an extraordinary royal marriage even more fully to life.]]></description><link>https://allendale.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C12140398</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://allendale.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C12140398</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Goodwin, Daisy, Sheridan, Sara]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://allendale.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/12140398981</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle/><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781427298959/MC.GIF&amp;client=lakep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Forward Slash]]></title><description><![CDATA[He's posted on your wall.He's following you on Twitter.He knows where you are right now… When Amy receives an email from her older sister, Becky, announcing that she's off travelling and "don't try to find me", she is worried.

His hypnotic new novel, The Bone Clocks, crackles with invention and wit-it is fiction at its most spellbinding and memorable. Following a scalding row with her mother, fifteen-year-old Holly Sykes slams the door on her old life. But Holly is no typical teenage runaway: A sensitive child once contacted by voices she knew only as "the radio people," Holly is a lightning rod for psychic phenomena. Now, as she wanders deeper into the English countryside, visions and coincidences reorder her reality until they assume the aura of a nightmare brought to life. For Holly has caught the attention of a cabal of dangerous mystics-and their enemies. But her lost weekend is merely the prelude to a shocking disappearance that leaves her family irrevocably scarred. This unsolved mystery will echo through every decade of Holly's life, affecting all the people Holly loves-even the ones who are not yet born. A Cambridge scholarship boy grooming himself for wealth and influence, a conflicted father who feels alive only while reporting from occupied Iraq, a middle-aged writer mourning his exile from the bestseller list-all have a part to play in this surreal, invisible war on the margins of our world. From the medieval Swiss Alps to the nineteenth-century Australian bush, from a hotel in Shanghai to a Manhattan townhouse in the near future, their stories come together in moments of everyday grace and extraordinary wonder. Rich with character and realms of possibility, The Bone Clocks is a kaleidoscopic novel that begs to be taken apart and put back together.]]></description><link>https://allendale.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C13511730</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://allendale.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C13511730</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mitchell, David]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2014 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://allendale.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/13511730981</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle/><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781464018541/MC.GIF&amp;client=lakep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
