Picture this: you’re in your house looking out of the window when you see a crime being committed in the house opposite you. Problem is, you can’t for the life of you see the perpetrator. What do you do? If you liked Gone Girl, you’re going to love this! Have a listen before the film starring Amy Adams hits the cinemas!
4. Had a long week of running from family dinner to family dinner? Try Life on Earth When you want to be soothed by a familiar and ever-so-great voice, David Attenborough is the man to turn to. Life on Earth is available as an audiobook for the first time ever and this bran-new edition celebrates the 40th anniversary of the book’s first publication!
