Fearsome: Fearsome, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 724min
Jessica Channing's big-city life should be more exciting than 60-hour work weeks and popcorn nights with her girlfriends. She has worked hard fulfilling her role as a child prodigy and graduating college years before her peers. She's the good girl, the brilliant girl. She is also dateless. Jess's rigid, predictable life upends when she visits a small town to deal with a relative's death. Long-lost memories come crashing down on Jess's world when two men, the Blackard brothers, seem to lure her in. Dylan is cover-model handsome and pursues Jess the minute she comes to town. Then there is tall, dark, and gorgeous Carson, who hides his own secrets behind his hardened reserve. Jess discovers that she can't have a simple romantic fling, because true passion does indeed come with some very big strings attached. She will have to own up to her own truths about love and face the two extraordinary men - both troubled in their own ways and both determined to have her. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Speak: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 497min
A thoughtful, poignant novel that explores the creation of artificial intelligence - illuminating the very human need for communication, connection, and understanding. In a narrative that spans geography and time, from the Atlantic Ocean in the 17th century to a correctional institute in Texas in the near future, and told from the perspectives of five very different characters, Speak considers what it means to be human and what it means to be less than fully alive. A young Puritan woman travels to the New World with her unwanted new husband. Alan Turing, the renowned mathematician and code breaker, writes letters to his best friend's mother. A Jewish refugee and professor of computer science struggles to reconnect with his increasingly detached wife. An isolated and traumatized young girl exchanges messages with an intelligent software program. A former Silicon Valley wunderkind is imprisoned for creating illegal lifelike dolls. Each of these characters is attempting to communicate across gaps - to estranged spouses, lost friends, future readers, or a computer program that may or may not understand them. In dazzling and electrifying prose, Louisa Hall explores how the chasm between computer and human - shrinking rapidly with today's technological advances - echoes the gaps that exist between ordinary people. Though each speaks from a distinct place and moment in time, all five characters share the need to express themselves while simultaneously wondering if they will ever be heard or understood. ungekürzt.

The O Line Mystery Shorts, Book 4 (Dramatized), Hörbuch, Digital, 95min

Book 4 features episodes: 13. "Robbed by Numbers", 14. "Secret Santa", 15. "Book Club Scandal", and 16. "Trailer Park Tango". Set on Ohlone Island in the San Francisco Bay, island inhabitants Lorna and Annie have a penchant for discovering fraud, corruption,and murder. In episode 13, "Robbed by Numbers", Lorna's strategy to avoid joining the island book club backfires when she drags Roberta and Annie to a painting class at the local art gallery. The class should be an outlet for them as they deal with a crashing economy and Christmas around the corner, but when the class is robbed, the added stress of surviving such an attack may be too much for their friendship. In episode 14, "SecretSanta", every Christmas Sally has to come up with a new way to trick Lorna into not opening her presents before it's time. As Annie tries to convince Lorna to relax and enjoy the holiday she too has become a pawn in Sally's master plan. In episode 15, "Book Club Scandal", Lorna gets caught up in burglary and grand theft when she reluctantly joins the local book club and a rare Jane Austen is stolen from the nearly bankrupt independent book store. And finally, in episode 18, "Trailer Park Tango", Lorna and Sally visit Sally's grandmother in a desert retirement village and find the community in a dither about home break-ins happening during their planned activities. With the thief in her sites, Lorna sets out to convince a young man caring for his grandfather to seek help from his elders. Following in the footsteps of classic radio dramas, The O Line Mystery Shorts brings to life new stories for the digital age. Language: English.
