Torchwood – 1.2. Fall to Earth

The hit BBC series is back! Big Finish create a new series of stories featuring the characters of the internationally-successful Doctor Who spin-off! The SkyPuncher is the first private spaceflight. But Ephraim Salt’s visionary project has gone horribly wrong – the ship is falling out of the sky and there seems no way to stop it. Ianto Jones thought the flight would be sabotaged. The only problem is…he’s on board! The huge, and long-running public interest in new Torchwood adventures resulted in a server melt-down when this release was announced by star John Barrowman on his Sunday night radio slot. Gareth David-Lloyd’s Ianto Jones character was so popular that when he died in Torchwood – Children of Earth, a shrine to him in Cardiff became a newsworthy item for some months! Writer James Goss wrote several best-selling Torchwood hardback books, and most recently launched his novel Haterz, looking at social media personalities. This is the second of a much-anticipated set of six stories running monthly until April 2016. CAST: Gareth David-Lloyd (Ianto Jones), Zeynep (Lisa Zahra).

All Fall Down

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Weiner

Allison Weiss got her happy ending—a handsome husband, adorable daughter, a job she loves, and the big house in the suburbs. But while waiting in the pediatrician’s office, she opens a magazine to a quiz about addiction and starts to wonder…Is a Percocet at the end of the day really different from a glass of wine? Is it such a bad thing to pop a Vicodin after a brutal Jump & Pump class…or if your husband ignores you?

The pills help her manage the realities of her good-looking life: that her husband is distant, that her daughter is acting out, that her father’s Alzheimer’s is worsening and her mother is barely managing to cope. She tells herself that they let her make it through her days…but what if her increasing drug use, a habit that’s becoming expensive and hard to hide, is turning into her biggest problem of all?

With a sparkling comedic touch and a cast of unforgettable characters, this remarkable story of a woman’s slide into addiction and struggle to find her way back up again is Jennifer Weiner’s most masterful work yet.

Author One on One with Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Weiner
