    The Trumpiad: Book the Third: A Satirical Poem in Twelve Cantos , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 180min
    In this book, the third volume of the satirical epic poem The Trumpiad, Martin Rowe delves into the tumultuous final year of the 2010s, including the denouement of the Mueller Report, the emergence of the Ukraine conspiracy, and the sundry and daily outrages committed by the President of the United States and his colleague in disruption in the United Kingdom. On the way, Rowe receives a lecture in satirical shamelessness and poetic decomposition from an unrepentant Marquis de Sade; he is visited by a clearly irritated and exasperated Maureen Dowd; and he finds himself tossed and turned about by impeachment and other scandals. The year ends much as it began, with the President still in power, and Rowe’s verses continuing to rumble relentlessly on. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Martin Rowe.

    William's Progress , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 518min
    One man. One year. So many ways to screw up.…William has a 12-year-old boss bent on his destruction; the interior design duo from hell re-decorating his bathroom; and an angry small person with a mean right hook on his case. On the plus side, he has as a gorgeous wife and an adorable (but insomniac) new son - and he loves them both. It’s just a shame that parenthood doesn’t stop him doing the wrong thing at precisely the wrong time, with catastrophic results for his small - and increasingly exasperated - family. It’s very nearly too much for one man to handle. Correction. It is entirely too much for one man to handle. And that man is William Walker. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Simon Shepherd.

    A Day with a Perfect Stranger , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 119min
    Exasperated by her husband Nick's sudden new obsession with Jesus, Mattie Cominsky views an out-of-town business trip as a welcome opportunity to reflect on their marriage: and to decide if it's time to put an end to this painfully unrewarding relationship. Aboard the plane, Mattie is relieved to find herself seated next to a passenger who shares her scorn for religion. After she confides her husband's unexpected turn, their conversation soon leads to a fascinating exploration of spirituality, God, and the quest for meaningful connection. Mattie's skepticism soon warms to the perceptive insights of this stranger, and she finds herself confronting the unspoken longings of her soul for true intimacy and lasting fulfillment. As his comments touch on personal issues he couldn't possibly know about, she begins to wonder if she's misjudged not only Nick but also the God he now claims to believe in. ungekürzt.

Wedding bells can't chime soon enough for Chloe Mills and Bennett Ryan. Chloe, exasperated and stressed by all the last-minute to-dos, is on the verge of saying "I do" to eloping. For his part, Bennett's so worried about being distracted by Chloe's body that he makes a no-sex-until-the-wedding-night rule that only seems to be making things worse by continually backfiring on him.
