	Judges Award: Politics Hubris, by Michael Isikoff and David Corn Narrated by Stefan Rudnicki (Blackstone Audio, Inc.) This fast-paced, behind-the-scenes narrative tells the inside story of how the Bush administration used bad intelligence to sell-and then justify-the Iraq war. Veteran reporters Michael Isikoff and David Corn take the reader behind the scenes at the White House, the CIA, the Pentagon, the State Department, and Congress, where controversial decisions and turf battles were fought in the highest circles of the Bush administration. Hubris connects the dots between George W. Bush's determination to get rid of Saddam Hussein, the role of the neoconservatives in pushing the case for war, and the outing of a CIA officer, which led to the indictment of a top White House official. It's a news-making account of conspiracy, backstabbing, ineptitude, and, perhaps most especially, arrogance.

	Fiction, Abridged Restless, by William Boyd Narrated by Rosemund Pike (Audio Renaissance) For the past thirty years, Sally has been haunted by her experiences during the Second World War. Now living in the idyllic English countryside in 1976, she suspects that someone is trying to kill her. With mounting fear, Sally reveals to her daughter, Ruth, a bombshell secret: she is actually Eva Delectorskaya, a Russian émigré recruited as a spy by the British prior to the Second World War. Through a series of written chapters for a planned book, Eva reveals to her daughter how she was trained the art of espionage by the enigmatic spymaster Lucas Romer. Above all, she was taught 'Rule Number One' of spying: trust no one-a rule broken when she and Romer began a dangerous love affair, which had tragic consequences.

The effect of Meghan's on-air truth telling reverberates through both their lives, affecting Meghan's family, friends, and fans, and changing Bridget's perception of her sister, their complex childhood, and herself.

	Romance If You Could See Me Now, by Cecelia Ahern Narrated by Susan Lynch and Rupert Degas (Hyperion Audio) This lighthearted yet insightful story offers a modern heroine who is entirely believable, and the new man in her life who is, well, slightly less so. Elizabeth Egan's life runs on order: Both her home and her emotions are arranged just so, with little room for spontaneity. It's how she counteracts the chaos of her family-an alcoholic mother who left when she was young, an emotionally distant father, and a free-spirited sister, who seems to be following in their mother's footsteps, leaving her own six-year old son, Luke, in Elizabeth's care. When Ivan, Luke's mysterious new grown-up friend, enters the picture, Elizabeth doesn't know quite what to make of him. With his penchant for adventure and colorful take on things large and small, Ivan opens Elizabeth's eyes to a whole new way of living. But is it for real? Is Ivan for real?

	Science Fiction Stolen Child, by Keith Donohue Narrated by Andy Paris and Jeff Woodman (Recorded Books, LLC) Inspired by the W.B. Yeats poem that tempts a child from home to the waters and the wild, this modern fairy tale is a literary fable of remarkable depth and strange delights. On a summer night, Henry Day runs away from home and is spirited away by the changelings, an unaging tribe of wild children who live in darkness and in secret. Stuck forever as a child, Henry-now named Aniday-struggles to remember the life he left behind and to fit into this shadow land, as modern life encroaches upon myth and nature. In his place, the changelings leave a double, a boy who steals Henry's life and must adjust to a modern culture while hiding his true identity. But the new Henry can't hide his extraordinary talent for the piano, which prompts his father to suspect that his son is an imposter. As he ages, the new Henry becomes haunted by vague memories of another time and place, when he, too, had been a stolen child. Both Henry and Aniday obsessively search for who they once were before they changed places.
