We all live here
by Jojo Moyes

Her career is in freefall and her love life is...complicated. So when her real dad-a man she has barely seen since he ran off to Hollywood thirty-five years ago-suddenly appears on her doorstep, it feels like the final straw. But it turns out even the family you thought you could never forgive might have something to teach you: about love, and what it actually means to be family.

Music Never Stopped
Narrowing down the Grateful Dead's touring career and live performances to 60 CDs, twenty venues, and more than 450 songs is hard enough. Narrowing that down for a three CD set is a monumental undertaking, but with so much great music to select from, it's one of the most enjoyable compilations ever assembled. This nearly four hour collection contains one song (or two, or three...) from every show in the Dead's new road tripping boxed set, Enjoying The Ride, which brings together music from 20 (21...) of the most essential venues in Grateful Dead and Dead Head history. This compilation is crafted with songs spanning the 25 years in the boxed set, 1969-1994. This is a career-defining live collection filled with some of the greatest tracks performed at their greatest venues.

Egypt's tombs of Amun
An archaeological detective story opens a door into an extraordinary moment in the story of Ancient Egypt, as the discovery of a long-lost cemetery not far from King Tut's tomb shines a light on an often-overlooked Egyptian kingdom. About 2,700 years ago, kings from Nubia - present day Sudan - conquered Egypt, and during their reigns, shifted the status of Egyptian women. Archaeologists and historians reveal how the ascent of The God's Wife of Amun lifted some women to the highest echelons of religious,political, and financial power in the ancient Egyptian empire.
