    Once Upon That Time He Was Suck in the Friend Zone (eBook, ePUB)
    Emma is about to go on a fantastic vacation with most of her best friends. The only problem is that it's a couples vacation, and suddenly she's not part of a couple anymore. But, as stubborn as she is, Emma won't skip the trip to paradise. Though, she doesn't want to go alone either. Luckily she has Colton, her best friend, who agrees to go with her on the trip so she doesn't have to feel like a fifth wheel. He makes her laugh, keeps her company, and it mostly doesn't bother Emma every time some chick flirts with Colton. Because he's her best friend. And she doesn't date friends. Only with the abundance of sunshine, cocktails, and inside jokes...something starts to change. Everyone always joked that Colton secretly had a thing for Emma, but she always brushed it off. Until now. Now she's wondering if she should break her own rules and chance it with Colton. The only thing that holds her back is the fear of losing him as a friend if their fling ends badly. Can Emma figure out what she wants more - to follow her rules that keep her heart and friendships safe, or to chance it all on the man who's pretty much her everything? If you like romantic comedies with non-narrative elements like emails and twitter threads, and steamy scenes that will leave you hot and bothered, then Friend Zone might be your next favorite book. It'll keep you reading just one more page all night long, too excited to go to sleep. It appeals to lovers of fun romantic plots, friends to lovers storylines, and vacation romances. Fans of pop culture, watchers of The Bachelor, and readers of Meg Cabot, Christina Lauren, and Becky Albertalli will also love this fun and steamy story! *Content Warning: sexual content, and language*

    Legends of Hollywood: The Life of Joan Fontaine , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 78min
    You know, I've had a helluva life. Not just the acting part. I've flown in an international balloon race. I've piloted my own plane. I've ridden to the hounds. I've done a lot of exciting things. - Joan Fontaine In 1939, Olivia de Havilland had her most memorable role as Melanie Hamilton in Gone With the Wind (1939), perhaps the most famous movie in American history, but Hollywood legend has it that she only got the role because her own younger sister, Joan Fontaine, was asked to audition for the part and recommended Olivia instead so that she could audition for Scarlett O'Hara. Although Fontaine and de Havilland would make history by becoming the only sisters to both win an Academy Award for Best Actress, that anecdote was just one of the various stories about the siblings that has shed light on their notoriously contentious and complicated relationship. As Fontaine once put it, "I married first, won the Oscar before Olivia did, and if I die first, she'll undoubtedly be livid because I beat her to it!" De Havilland herself once said, "Joan is very bright and sharp and can be cutting." Of course, one of the reasons people have remained interested in the sisters is that both of them had such long acting careers, and Fontaine became best remembered both for a career that spanned 60 years and several high profile marriages. With typical humor, Fontaine joked about the fact she had so many husbands, commenting in jest, "If you keep marrying as I do, you learn everybody's hobby." But that attention has only served to obscure her very serious professional career, which saw her won the Oscar for Best Actress for her role in Alfred Hitchcock's Suspicion (1941). ungekürzt.

    In Bed with Susie Bright 479: Can Teachers Be Fired for Dating Online?, Hörbuch, Digital, 24min, (USK 18)
    A man posts a personal sex ad on Craigslist. No problem, right? Except this guy is a teacher, and it seems his private life is not private. After a complaint to the police from an anonymous caller, our teacher removed the ad. But it didn't end there; he was fired. Susie finds the decision of the court over this case to be so misguided, she's breathing fire. She looks at what they called "vulgar" and "inappropriate" and calls the firing a witch hunt by repressed men who are holier then thou. Give us a break! Justice has not been served. Next, Semengate. That's right, there's a big controversy over one surgeon's studies into the therapeutic power of semen. Dr. Lazar Greenfield wrote about how nature and semen work together to create a stronger bond between men and women. Sounds okay… until he joked that, on Valentines Day, "We [now] know there's a better gift for that day than chocolates." Lame jokes aside, Susie has a lot to say about the science behind the studies. Then, in our "Try This at Home" mailbag, Susie gets a letter from a man who says, "My ex demands that I lecture my son against porn. Help. I was reading Playboy magazines as a young man, and I think it's okay. What can I do?" Have a question? You can call Susie's hotline at 831-480-5110.

    Young Lita: Part 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 43min, (USK 18)
    Today was my 19th birthday, and I felt like a brand new woman. My best friends threw me a surprise party at one of their houses and I bought alcohol for the first time. It was wonderful to feel so liberated for a change. The girls convinced me to let them give me a makeover, changing my style from sweatpants and sweaters to a short skirt and tank top and a push-up bra. I didn't think I'd actually enjoy this, but after a few drinks, I embraced my new, grown-up look. I was surprised at my new level of confidence and even noticed myself walking differently. I suppose I had to with these uncomfortable shoes they made me wear.  After returning home, I noticed Jack, my mother's boyfriend, gazing at me differently. We drank together for the first time, joked around, and casually flirted in the kitchen. I loved the fact that a 40-something-year-old was finally treating me like an adult and not a teenager for once. I daydreamed of us together, making love under the stars and waking up in the morning next to each other. I honestly didn't feel guilty thinking about him since my mother only used him for his money. He claimed to love her, but there was something so artificial about their relationship. The more I drank, the more spiteful I became towards her as I continued to flirt with the man I considered to be my stepfather. This whole situation felt so wrong but so right at the same time, which made it even more exciting. I wanted him badly, and I was willing to bet he wanted me too. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Four Obsessions of an Extraordinary Executive: A Leadership Fable , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 181min
    As CEO, most everything that Rich O'Connor did had something to do with at least one of the four disciplines on his famed "yellow sheet." Some of the firm's executives joked that he was obsessed with it. Interestingly, only a handful of people actually knew what was on that sheet, and so it remained something of a mystery. Which was okay with Rich, because no one really needed to understand it, other than him. He certainly never suspected that it would become the blueprint of an employee's plan to destroy the firm.In this stunning follow-up to his best-selling book, The Five Temptations of a CEO, Patrick Lencioni offers up another leadership fable that's every bit as compelling and illuminating as its predecessor. This time, Lencioni's focus is on a leader's crucial role in building a healthy organization - an often overlooked but essential element of business life that is the linchpin of sustained success. Listeners are treated to a story of corporate intrigue as Rich O'Connor, fictional CEO of technology consulting company Telegraph Partners, faces a leadership challenge so great that it threatens to topple his company, his career and everything he holds true about what makes a leader. In the story's telling, Lencioni deftly helps his readers understand the disarming simplicity and power of creating a healthy organization, and reveals four key disciplines that they can follow to achieve it. Once again, Lencioni delivers an utterly gripping tale with a powerful and memorable message for all who strive to be extraordinary leaders. The Four Obsessions of an Extraordinary Executive is also available in print from Wiley. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Charles Stransky; introduction by Patrick Lencioni.

    Local Girl Missing: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 624min
    From the best-selling author of The Sisters comes this twisty, haunting thriller about two best friends, corrosive jealousy, and dark secrets - perfect for fans of The Widow and Luckiest Girl Alive. Someone knows where she is. The old Victorian pier was a thing of beauty until it was allowed to decay. It was where the youth of Oldcliffe-on-Sea would go to hang out. It's also where 21-year-old Sophie Collier disappeared 18 years ago. Francesca Howe, known as Frankie, was Sophie's best friend, and even now she is haunted by the mystery of what happened to her. When Frankie gets a call from Sophie's brother, Daniel, informing her that human remains have been found washed up nearby, she immediately wonders if it could be Sophie and returns to her old hometown to try to find closure. Now an editor at a local newspaper, Daniel believes that Sophie was terrified of someone and that her death was the result of foul play rather than "death by misadventure", as the police claim. Daniel arranges a holiday rental for Frankie that overlooks the pier where Sophie disappeared. In the middle of winter and out of season, Frankie feels isolated and unnerved, especially when she is out on the pier late one night and catches a glimpse of a woman who looks like Sophie. Is the pier really haunted, as they joked all those years ago? Could she really be seeing her friend's ghost? And what actually happened to her best friend all those years ago? Harrowing, electrifying, and thoroughly compelling, Local Girl Missing showcases once again best-selling author Claire Douglas' extraordinary storytelling talent. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    American Legends: The Life of John Wayne , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 86min
    Every country in the world loved the folklore of the West - the music, the dress, the excitement, everything that was associated with the opening of a new territory. It took everybody out of their own little world. The cowboy lasted a hundred years, created more songs and prose and poetry than any other folk figure. The closest thing was the Japanese samurai. Now, I wonder who'll continue it. - John Wayne A lot of ink has been spilled covering the lives of history's most influential figures, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees? In Charles River Editors' American Legends series, listeners can get caught up to speed on the lives of America's most important men and women in the time it takes to finish a commute, while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known. Hollywood has produced no shortage of famous movie stars, but none have been as culturally significant as John Wayne. Marion Morrison was born in a quintessentially quaint Midwestern town, but he eventually grew up to become John Wayne, the legend of the silver screen who embodied the Western frontier. Wayne starred in so many movies (nearly 150 in all) that when asked to name his worst, he joked that 50 of them were tied, but the excessive number allowed Wayne to portray heroes of all stripes, from cowboys to soldiers, and he was invariably charming, courageous, and full of rugged, masculine swagger. Even as Westerns have certainly waned in popularity, Wayne himself has remained immensely popular, in part because he set the prototype for the heroic character, regardless of genre. ungekürzt.

    American Legends: The Life of William Faulkner , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 66min
    A lot of ink has been spilled covering the lives of history's most influential figures, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees? In Charles River Editors' American Legends series, listeners can get caught up to speed on the lives of America's most important men and women in the time it takes to finish a commute, while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known. With the notable exception of Mark Twain, whose roots along the Mississippi River factored so thoroughly into his life story and his literature, America's greatest writers have rarely been categorized by or associated with a specific region of the country. And among America's greatest 20th century writers, many have been identified with a specific era, such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and the 1920s, or even as part of a community of expatriates, like Ernest Hemingway and Gertrude Stein. William Faulkner is an exception to that rule, and a prolific and influential one at that. The reclusive Southerner, who died about 40 miles away from his birthplace in New Albany, Mississippi, was associated with the South as a region and Southern literature in particular throughout his career, at least when he was associated with anything at all. Faulkner toiled in relative obscurity for much of his life, and it was only after he earned a Nobel Prize in 1949 that he truly entered the national radar. He later joked about his own neighbors, "Some folks wouldn't even speak when they passed me on the street...it wasn't until the Nobel Prize that they really thawed out ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Essential oils This book will easily show you how to create your own essential oils. Essential oils are starting to rival some traditional forms of medicine for new ways to treat certain diseases and health conditions.

From that moment on, I was fascinated about the positive power of essential oils, and I have realized that the healing potential of essential oils and aromatherapy is truly remarkable. Preparing your own oils is cost effective and can ensure that there are no harmful chemicals in the oils. Here's a preview of what you'll learn: Essential oil DIY recipes, serums, scrubs, and soaps How to make lotion bars The history of essential oils How to properly store your essential oils How to evaluate the quality of essential oils How to choose high quality essential oils Relief from common illnesses with essential oils Aromatherapy with essential oils Massage with essential oils Reflexology It wasn't until the modern era that people started putting a name to the idea that you could apply pressure on areas of your body that would influence the feeling of other parts. It was often joked that a person who had a toothache should squeeze their toe to get some relief from it. During the 16th century, the idea of zone therapy began to become more and more prominent. This idea, that there are zones in the bodies and that there are ways to access them from different places in the body, became more and more popular, and more and more time was dedicated to the research of it. Here's a preview of what you'll learn: What is reflexology? The basics of reflexology The basics of the foot The basics of the hands The massage ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Adam Zens.

    Will Rogers: The Cowboy Philosopher , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 67min
    Smarter in 60 minutes. Get smarter in just 60 minutes with in60Learning. Concise and elegantly written non-fiction books and audiobooks help you learn the core subject matter in 20 percent of the time that it takes to read a typical book. Life is short, so explore a multitude of fascinating historical, biographical, scientific, political, and financial topics in only an hour each.Will Rogers (1879 to 1935), born William Penn Adair, was an American stage and film actor, vaudeville performer, and newspaper columnist, known primarily for his humor and social commentary. He is significant in that he was a Cherokee citizen born in the Cherokee Nation, Indian Territory (now part of Oklahoma). During Rogers’ long career, he made over 70 films and wrote more than 4,000 newspaper columns. Rogers was born in 1935 and was raised and worked on his parents' ranch The Dog Iron Ranch in the Cherokee Nation, Indian Territory. Rogers' cowboy rope act led to success in the Ziegfeld Follies, a series of vaudeville shows in the early 20th century. These, in turn, led to Rogers’ motion picture success, both in silent films, like The Headless Horseman and One Glorious Day (both released in 1922), and "talkies" like They Had To See Paris (1929) and So This Is London (1930). Rogers died in 1935 further pursing one of his greatest passions in life: aviation. He died along with famed aviator Wiley Post in a plane crash at Point Barrow, Alaska, as their aircraft failed on take-off. Rogers, the humorist philosopher, is still remembered today for his witty aphorisms and still widely quoted. Rogers’ tombstone reads: "I joked about every prominent man of my time, but I never met a man I didn’t like" - an epitaph Rogers wrote for himself and said of it: "I am so proud of that, I can hardly wait to die so it can be carved." ungekürzt.
