    Freaky Monday , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 229min
    Hadley is pretty much the model student: straight A's, perfect attendance, front row in class. So what if she's overstressed and overscheduled: She's got school covered. (Life...not so much.) Ms. Pitt is the kind of teacher who wants you to call her by her first name and puts all the chairs in a circle and tells her students to feel their book reports. Hadley wishes Ms. Pitt would stick to her lesson plan. Ms. Pitt wishes Hadley would lighten up. So when Hadley and Ms. Pitt find themselves switched into each other's bodies, the first thing they want to do is switch right back. It takes a family crisis, a baffled principal, and a (double) first kiss to help them figure out that change can be pretty enlightening. Even if it is a little freaky! ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Odyssey (Dramatized), Hörbuch, Digital, 229min
    My fame is written in the heavens, and my fate too..." So speaks Odysseus as he starts to recount his struggles to sail home to Ithaca, in one of the greatest pieces of storytelling in Western literature. The Odyssey is his incredible traveller's tale, and also the story of his faithful wife Penelope who waits for him, besieged by suitors, and their son Telemachus who has a quest of his own. In a 20-year journey, fabulous fantasy mixes with extraordinary reality as Odysseus encounters enchantresses, nymphs, monsters, prophets, and ghosts. From the temptations of the lotus flowers and the Sirens' song to the horrors of the Cyclops' cave and the Land of the Dead, the story of his encounters is riveting. We hear of Circe, who turned his men into swine; Calypso, who held Odysseus prisoner for seven years; and the dreadful six-headed monster Scylla who devoured some of his crew. And we hear of the Gods, who have a vital role to play... Dramatised by major contemporary poet Simon Armitage to celebrate the return of the Olympics to Athens, this full-cast production brings Odysseus's adventures to vivid life, conveying all the excitement, suspense, and poetry of the original. A stunning aural rollercoaster ride, The Odyssey will have your heart in your mouth and stir your soul. Language: English. Narrator: Tim McInnerny, Amanda Redman, full cast.

    Bad Endings , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 229min
    Finalist for the Rogers Writers' Trust Fiction Prize. Winner of the City of Vancouver Book Award. Top 100 of 2017, Globe and Mail.  “...Baker pushes readers to reconsider their desire for resolution. Eschewing the easy, the neat, the smoothed over, allows us to consider the things about ourselves we might not like. There’s a political dimension to this. One thread running through this book is the threat of environmental collapse - drought, massive bee death, dwindling salmon stock - and humans’ awkward interventions....” (The Globe and Mail) “Her characters possess an abundance of hard-luck stories, true, but she writes them as sometimes wrong and sometimes foolish and hence eminently human in their fallibility.” (The Georgia Straight)  “Baker is a skillful, sensitive writer with an uncanny gift for subtle, dark humor... There is no judgment or condemnation in these stories, but a tender, deep savoring of the quirks that make us human.” (Foreword Magazine)  Carleigh Baker likes to make light in the dark. Whether plumbing family ties, the end of a marriage or death itself, she never lets go of the witty, the ironic and, perhaps most notably, the awkward. Despite the title, the resolution in these stories isn’t always tragic, but it’s often uncomfortable, unexpected or just plain strange. Character digressions, bad decisions and misconceptions abound. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Carleigh Baker.
