Meredith and Nina Whitson are as different as sisters can be.

Story
At the very end of the Ladies’ Frocks Departments, past Cocktail Frocks, there was something very special, something quite, quite wonderful; but it wasn’t for everybody: that was the point. Because there, at the very end, there was a lovely arch, on which was written in curly letters Model Gowns. Written by a superb novelist of contemporary manners, Ladies in Black is a fairytale which illuminates the extraordinariness of ordinary lives. The women in black are run off their feet, what with the Christmas rush and the summer sales that follow.

Story
Love, Lucy is the valentine Lucille Ball left for her fans—a warm, wise, and witty memoir written by Lucy herself. The legendary star of the classic sitcom I Love Lucy was at the pinnacle of her success when she sat down to record the story of her life. No comedienne had made America laugh so hard, no television actress had made the leap from radio and B movies to become one of the world’s best-loved performers. This is her story—in her own words.

Recently divorced and reluctantly retired, Julia Bird has fled London to enjoy idyllic rural life in the Cotswolds. Determined to have the perfect English garden, her first job is to tear down the old shed, where she unearths much more than she’d bargained for: a body, apparently buried for decades. But who could it be, and who killed them? The police draw a blank, and even the gossip-fest that is the local book club can’t remember anyone going missing in the village.

One of the biggest myths that plagues the business world today is that our ability to network depends on having the “gift-of-gab”. You don’t have to be outgoing to be successful at networking. You don’t have to become a relentless self-promoter. In fact, you don’t have to act like an extrovert at all. Matthew Pollard, an introvert himself, draws on over a decade of research and real-world examples to provide an actionable blueprint for introverted networking.

It’s 2006, and terror scaremongering in the media has rattled the residents of sleepy, suburban Dunlop Crescent. When a Maori family moves into number 14, the local cranks assume they are Middle Eastern terrorists hell-bent on destroying the Australian way of life. Rumour has it that they plan to turn their house to face Mecca. This sets off an extraordinary chain of events that embroils the entire neighbourhood as well as cynical media figures, bumbling antiterrorist police and a gang of white supremacists with a radical plan to wake up the country and ‘preserve Australian values’.

The good news is that anyone can learn to master the art of creativity to turn good ideas into brilliant ones. That's what this audiobook is about: those killer ideas that have a positive impact on many people, with near-infinite winners.

Publisher's Summary
From the host of Medicine or Myth? and Embarrassing Bodies Down Under.
Night sweats, hot flushes, anxiety, insomnia, exhaustion, itchy skin, low libido, painful sex.
Any of these sound familiar? Ninety per cent of women experience these symptoms some time between the ages of 40 and 60, but shhhhh...just suck it up, princess. And nobody mention the M word. Menopause and perimenopause (the hormonal roller-coaster years leading up to a woman's last period) are among our last taboo subjects. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) - once widely prescribed as the magical secret of youth - has been shunned by women and their doctors for two decades.
Dr Ginni Mansberg, one of Australia's most trusted health and well-being experts, is here to work through the evidence and bust the taboos out of the water. The M Word is all about you and your choices. Are you being offered the best solutions for your menopause issues? Because there are great solutions to help you thrive in this new stage of life.
What happens to your body once key hormones begin to diminish? What are the pros and cons of HRT? Which home remedies are worth a shot, and which are snake oil? Plus, how can you shift that menopause weight gain, what's best for your changing skin, how can you exercise your brain (move over, Sudoku) and why are you so bloody itchy all the time?
All of this and more is delivered with Dr Ginni's no-nonsense humour and backed up with evidence-based facts and personal anecdotes to help women make informed choices.

Can’t recommend strongly enough!
Every Australian woman needs to read this book! Some of the hormone stuff can be heavy going but it’s well worth the effort.
Thankyou Ginni for doing this work and sharing for the benefit of all women. As a fellow scientist and professional I love your evidence based approach.

Loved this book, the info was current, very helpful and the narration was excellent - as it was by the writer herself who injected her own experience as a doctor and a woman who has gone through menopause also. To me that is the perfect combination👌👌

Thanks Ginni. For doing all that research, for putting it all together so clearly, for being kind yet funny and straightforward. It’s so great to have these things stated clearly. It gives all of us a basis for having conversations with friends and doctors about this madcap time in our lives without the confusion and fear.

Never felt so heard
This book helps you make sense of the weird & not so wonderful plethora of changes happening and provides recommendations based in science & evidence based research. Dr Ginni is all for the placebo effect as well but helps you make educated decisions on how you spend your money on products to support this transition. The section on night sweats and insomnia that results I almost cried I never felt so heard. Great listen for my very first audible book & Dr Ginni narrates like you’re talking to your best friend.

An advertisement for HRT
I was expecting a well rounded education about menopause and how to know if you’re in it, and some directions for how to manage it. This book is all about HRT and the authors own skin care range.
