Spoonful of poison by M.C. Beaton

A spoonful of Poison by M.C. Beaton

Cranky but lovable sleuth Agatha Raisin’s detective agency has become so successful
that she wants nothing more than to take quality time for rest and relaxation. But as soon as she begins closing the agency on weekends, she remembers that when she has plenty of quality time, she doesn’t know what to do with it. So it doesn’t take much for the vicar of a nearby village to persuade her to help publicize the church fête——especially when the fair’s organizer, George Selby, turns out to be a gorgeous widower.
Agatha brings out the crowds for the fête, all right, but there’s more going on than innocent village fun. Several of the offerings in the jam-tasting booth turn out to be poisoned, and the festive family event becomes the scene of two murders.
Along with her young and (much to her dismay) pretty sidekick, Toni, Agatha must uncover the truth behind the jam tampering, keep the church funds safe from theft, and expose the nasty secrets lurking in the village——all while falling for handsome George, who may have secrets of his own.

American Prince by Tony Curtis

American Prince by Tony Curtis

 

 

He was the Golden Boy of the Golden Age. Dashing and debonair, Tony Curtis arrived on the scene in a blaze of bright lights and celluloid. His good looks, smooth charm, and natural talent earned him fame, women, and adulation–Elvis copied his look and the Beatles put him on their Sgt. Pepper album cover. But the Hollywood life of his dreams brought both invincible highs and debilitating lows. Now, in his captivating, no-holds-barred autobiography, Tony Curtis shares the agony and ecstasy of a private life in the public eye.
No simple tell-all, American Prince chronicles Hollywood during its heyday. Curtis revisits his immense body of work and regales readers with stories of his associations with Frank Sinatra, Laurence Olivier, director Billy Wilder, as paramours Natalie Wood and Marilyn Monroe, among others.

Power of sleep by Kelly Howell

The power of sleep by Kelly Howell

Sound Sleep
Free of spoken words or any guidance, this program delivers 60 minutes of Delta waves woven into dreamy music. Soothing sound waves ease your brain out of the rapid rhythms of Beta, down through the relaxing states of Alpha and Theta, into the welcoming depths of Delta. As you release and let go, you’ll slowly start to swirl and drift into a state of deep contentment for a peaceful and refreshing night’s sleep. You can use Sound Sleep for power naps, when you travel, or durring times when you can't get a full night's rest. Even just one hour of Delta Brain Wave Therapy will reset sodium and potassium levels to refresh your brain and clear away mental "fog." A few hours of sleep a night with this program will make you feel as though you had a full eight hours of rest.

Jeeves: Joy in the morning by P.G. Wodehouse
Jeeves: Joy in the morning by P.G. Wodehouse

Hilarious! The rural beauty of Steeple Bumpleigh holds no attractions for Bertie, containing (as it does) the appalling Aunt Agatha. But there is man's work to do and, with Jeeves at his side, how can Bertie fail? Michael Hordern stars as Jeeves with Richard Briers as Bertie in this BBC Radio full-cast dramatisation. As Christopher Buckley says, “It is impossible to be unhappy while reading the adventures of Jeeves."
