New audiobooks for spring

Just got the MacMillan Audio catalog for spring, and some titles look promising.

Dr. Pamela Peeke's Body for Life for Women: A woman's plan for physical and mental transformation. This is a 12-week program of eating, exercise and emotional health tailored for women.

Daniel Goldman, who wrote Emotional Intelligence and Social Intelligence, is out with a new book, Ecological Intelligence. You can guess what it's about.

How to Shop for a Husband is written by Janice Lieberman, "The Today Show's" consumer correspondent. She describes how to use shopping principles to find the guy and close the deal. Sounds like fun, even if you already own a husband.

And for the younger listeners, Dabvid Lubar's middle-school series is launched with My Rotten Life, the story of a fifth-grader who becomes a zombie and searches for a cure.

About the bloggers

While she always preferred The Hardy Boys to Nancy Drew, Nancy Knight grew up reading nearly everything she could get her hands on, including a probably unhealthy amount of R.L. Stine and Christopher Pike, with the obligatory Jane Austen thrown in. She'll still read just about anything you put in front of her, especially the funny or weird. She lives in the city with her books, cat and drum set.

Dave Rosenthal came to The Baltimore Sun as a business reporter in 1987 and now is an assistant managing editor and Sunday editor. He reads a wide range of books (but never as many as he'd like), usually alternating between non-fiction and fiction. Some all-time favorites: A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole; Wind, Sand and Stars by Antoine de Saint-Exupery; and anything by Calvin Trillin or John McPhee. He belongs to a book club with a Jewish theme.
