• FREE -- 12 Ways Your Phone Is Changing You -- T Reinke/ T Parks --> 6.8 hrs --> Tech

When the smartphone was introduced, many of us quickly adopted it into our lives—too quickly to stop and think about the future costs we were unboxing along with the device. Now blessed with this revolutionary piece of handheld technology, we try to wield it with wisdom, fending off anxieties about how our digital habits impact our spiritual health.

Drawing on the insights of numerous thinkers, published studies, and his own research, writer Tony Reinke identifies twelve potent ways our smartphones have changed our lives—for good and ill. Reinke calls us to cultivate healthy habits for smartphone use in the digital age, encouraging us to be grateful for technological advance, develop skills aimed at maximizing the blessing that we (and others) can receive through our phones, and grow in the wisdom we need to avoid the many pitfalls that exist with such a powerful tool.

The Fallow Season of Hugo Hunter -- Craig Lancaster/ Luke Daniels --> 8.2 hrs --> contemp

• Whispersync --> Audible ($1.99) | Kindle (free/$1.99/$2.49)
  
• Kindle Unlim --> Audible ($1.99) | Kindle (free)
  
• Spoiler:

  From the best-selling author of 600 Hours of Edward comes the story of a boxer and a sportswriter whose fates are inextricably linked. Hugo Hunter, a would-be champion who never quite made it, is on his last legs. Thirty-seven years old, soft around the middle, and broke, he’s plummeted from his glory days of title fights to small-time bouts against brawlers and punks. Watching ringside for nearly twenty years has been Mark Westerly, a sportswriter who has struggled to keep a professional distance from the man whose life and career have become enmeshed with his own tumultuous trajectory. Hugo and Mark share a history that runs deep and has at times gotten ugly. As Hugo lands on the ropes again, Mark steps in to try to save him - and unburdens himself of long-held secrets regarding Hugo’s past. But can these two men, who’ve lived so long under the weight of their own tragedies, finally help each other find redemption?

Tales From the Radiation Age -- Jason Sheehan/ Nick Podehl --> 19.4 hrs --> sci-fi

• Whispersync --> Audible ($1.99) | Kindle (free/$1.99/$3.99)
  
• Kindle Unlim --> Audible ($1.99) | Kindle (free)
  
• Spoiler:

  In a post-apocalyptic America that has shattered into 100 perpetually warring fiefdoms, anyone with a loud voice and a doomsday weapon can be king (and probably has been). Duncan Archer - con man, carpetbagger, survivor - has found a way to somehow successfully navigate the end of the world, with its giant killer robots, radioactive mutants, mad scientists, rampant nanotechnology, armed gangs, sea monsters, and 101 unpleasant ways to die.
  
  But when he meets Captain James Barrow, a former OSS agent and the most wanted man in the world, Duncan finds himself a reluctant hero caught up in a whole new level of weird, rollicking adventure…
  
  And the second most wanted man in the world.
  
  Tales from the Radiation Age is a throwback to the pulp-origins of science fiction, painting a vision of the future that’s richly detailed, wildly imaginative - and altogether too easy to imagine.

Bittersweet -- Noelle Adams/ Amy McFadden --> 7.3 hrs --> romance

• Whispersync --> Audible ($1.99) | Kindle (free/$1.99/$2.49)
  
• Kindle Unlim --> Audible ($1.99) | Kindle (free)
  
• Prime Read ----> Audible ($1.99) | Kindle (free)
  
• Spoiler:

  Love is the last thing on Zoe’s mind. Widowed at only twenty-six, she’s just trying to get through one lonely day at a time as she grieves her late husband, and finds the energy to take care of her infant son.
  
  As Zoe bravely tries to hold herself together, her husband’s cousin and business partner, Adam, offers his support and friendship. Shattered by her loss, Zoe is distant and resentful at first, but Adam gently persists, and Zoe’s reserve soon begins to crumble… Adam knows that Zoe needs time to heal but finds himself more and more attracted to her. He knows he must not act on these forbidden feelings, but they just won’t go away… Noelle Adams’s Bittersweet is a poignant, fearless exploration of friendship, loss, new beginnings, and the healing power of love.

Redemption Key -- SG Redling/ Tanya Eby --> 6.7 hrs --> detective

• Whispersync --> Audible ($1.99) | Kindle (free/$1.99/$3.99)
  
• Kindle Unlim --> Audible ($1.99) | Kindle (free)
  
• Spoiler:

  Her narrow escape from blue-eyed assassin Tom Booker has made former data analyst Dani Britton question all of her choices-like trusting "good guys" who carry badges. On the run and haunted by the government-sanctioned massacre of her coworkers, Dani finally settles in remote Redemption Key, Florida, at a bar where strong drinks and shady deals are the norm.
  
  The bar owner, a local operator with a past of his own, gives Dani a job, no questions asked, and soon Dani's ability to "read" the sketchy characters doing business at the bar proves invaluable. The libations flow, and the Key's laid-back vibe and warm waters start doing their therapeutic work. But as the mercury rises, a twisted deal starts to go down-threatening to take Dani with it. Like sharks smelling blood, players on both sides of the law circle for the kill. And when charming apex predator Booker joins the frenzy, he may turn out to be the only one on Dani's side.

I assume that whatever suggestions that the author of Talking with Your Kids About God gives will not involve using a _smartphone_ to do it.

On a more serious note, the book behind the audiobook looks to be a good one, in my estimation. And, it is rated 4.9 stars, from 75 reviews.

When Oliver's great-grandfather's pocket watch is confiscated at school, Chase, a budding detective, vows to help him get it back.
A self-proclaimed authority on paranormal activities, Chase convinces Oliver and his friends, Eduard and Gio, to go along with investigating the curious happenings at their school.
What begins as the simple task of reclaiming Oliver's pocket watch swiftly turns into a full-fledged investigation into the paranormal happenings at Raven Ridge Academy, as they also face bullies, rivals, and Oliver's annoying little brother. And don't forget Jax, the girl of Oliver's dreams....
As the kids delve further into their investigation, they find themselves caught in a web of trouble with their lives in peril, the fate of the world at stake, and time running out. Will they solve the mystery before it's too late?
The Dirt Bike Detective is an epic, entertaining tale for the entire family, combining endearing characters, intricate mysteries, humor, and excitement for all ages.

Probably more for younger people (and old ones who have not grown up much)
