Story
The Garden Jungle is about the wildlife that lives right under our noses, in our gardens and parks, between the gaps in the pavement and in the soil beneath our feet. Wherever you are right now, the chances are that there are worms, woodlice, centipedes, flies, silverfish, wasps, beetles, mice, shrews and much, much more, quietly living within just a few paces of you.

Loved this book. Bill Mollison is indeed both genius and mad hippy. Did feel a fierce rallying spirit rise when biodynamics was debunked.

Story
From the Sunday Times top ten best-selling author of The Psychopath Test, a captivating and brilliant exploration of one of our world's most underappreciated forces: shame. "It's about the terror, isn't it?" "The terror of what?" I said. "The terror of being found out." For the past three years, Jon Ronson has travelled the world, meeting recipients of high-profile public shamings. The shamed are people like us - people who, say, made jokes on social media that came out badly or made mistakes at work.

Such a great book. A brilliant pick from the audible team . So many thought provoking moments that could have been depressing and exhausting, but was so honestly and humorously told. Loved it

Like a guilty pleasure, Jenny Colgan's books are best approached in the same way one should approach a big box of chocolates - scoffed in secret all in one go. So lovely to revisit Rosie et company, and the Christmas setting just makes it even more delicious. Snuggle up, get the fire crackling and break out the Christmas candles. Loved it.
