    Clark: The Autobiography of Clark Terry , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 817min
    Compelling from cover to cover, this is the story of one of the most recorded and beloved jazz trumpeters of all time. With unsparing honesty and a superb eye for detail, Clark Terry, born in 1920, takes us from his impoverished childhood in St. Louis, Missouri, where jazz could be heard everywhere, to the smoke-filled small clubs and carnivals across the Jim Crow South where he got his start, and on to worldwide acclaim. Terry takes us behind the scenes of jazz history as he introduces scores of legendary greats - Ella Fitzgerald, Oscar Peterson, Dizzy Gillespie, Dinah Washington, Doc Severinsen, Ray Charles, Thelonious Monk, Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, Coleman Hawkins, Zoot Sims, and Dianne Reeves, among many others. Terry also reveals much about his own personal life, his experiences with racism, how he helped break the color barrier in 1960 when he joined the Tonight Show band on NBC, and why--at ninety years old - his students from around the world still call and visit him for lessons. ungekürzt.

    Wonderblood: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 638min
    Set 500 years in the future, a mad cow-like disease called “Bent Head” has killed off most of the US population. Those remaining turn to magic and sacrifice to cleanse the Earth. Wonderblood is Julia Whicker's fascinating literary debut audiobook, set in a barren United States, an apocalyptic wasteland where warring factions compete for control of the land in strange and dangerous carnivals. A mad cow-like disease called "Bent Head" has killed off millions. Those who remain worship the ruins of NASA's space shuttles, and Cape Canaveral is their Mecca. Medicine and science have been rejected in favor of magic, prophecy, and blood sacrifice. When traveling marauders led by the bloodthirsty Mr. Capulatio invade her camp, a young girl named Aurora is taken captive as his bride and forced to join his band on their journey to Cape Canaveral. As war nears, she must decide if she is willing to become her captor's queen. But then other queens emerge, some grotesque and others aggrieved, and not all are pleased with the girl's ascent. Politics and survival are at the center of this ravishing audiobook. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Caitlin Davies.

    Clockwork Lives , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 772min
    Additional Narrators: Luis Moreno Lynne McCullough Jonathan Todd Ross Neil Peart Kevin J. Anderson Some lives can be summed up in a sentence or two. Other lives are epics. In Clockwork Angels, number-one best-selling author Kevin J. Anderson and legendary Rush drummer and lyricist Neil Peart created a fabulous, adventurous steampunk world in a novel to accompany the smash Rush concept album of the same name. It was a world of airships and alchemy, clockwork carnivals, pirates, lost cities, a rigid Watchmaker who controlled every aspect of life, and his nemesis, the ruthless and violent Anarchist who wanted to destroy it all. Anderson and Peart have returned to their colourful creation to explore the places and the characters that still have a hold on their imaginations. Marinda Peake is a woman with a quiet, perfect life in a small village; she long ago gave up on her dreams and ambitions to take care of her ailing father, an alchemist and an inventor. When he dies, he gives Marinda a mysterious inheritance: a blank book that she must fill with other people's stories - and ultimately her own. Clockwork Lives is a steampunk Canterbury Tales and much more, as Marinda strives to change her life from a mere "sentence or two" to a true epic. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Queer Carnival (eBook, ePUB)
    The importance of citywide festivals like Mardi Gras and Fiesta for the LGBTQ communityFestivals like Mardi Gras and Fiesta have come to be annual events in which entire cities participate, and LGBTQ people are a visible part of these celebrations. In other words, the party is on, the party is queer, and everyone is invited. In Queer Carnival, Amy Stone takes us inside these colorful, eye-catching, and often raucous events, highlighting their importance to queer life in America's urban South and Southwest. Drawing on five years of research, and over a hundred days at LGBTQ events in cities such as San Antonio, Santa Fe, Baton Rouge, and Mobile, Stone gives readers a front-row seat to festivals, carnivals, and Mardi Gras celebrations, vividly bringing these queer cultural spaces and the people that create and participate in them to life. Stone shows how these events serve a larger fundamental purpose, helping LGBTQ people to cultivate a sense of belonging in cities that may be otherwise hostile. Queer Carnival provides an important new perspective on queer life in the South and Southwest, showing us the ways that LGBTQ communities not only survive, but thrive, even in the most unexpected places.

    Hanna Street , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 660min
    When elderly widow Mimi Wilson decides to sell her beloved but rundown home, she sets into motion a chain of events that will forever alter the lives of those she loves. Charming Appleton, Indiana, will get a new Git & Go in the spot where her house stands. Mimi will get to spend her Golden Years in Florida with her daughter. And her granddaughter, Kate, will get one more chance to find love and happiness. When Kate arrives back home to oversee her grandmother's estate sale, she finds the street she grew up on is in a state of decline and most of her old neighbors have moved on. Her childhood friend is hospitalized following a suicide attempt, and her high school sweetheart is recently divorced. Kate plans to spend one week in her old home town, just long enough to put her grandmother's things in order. But being back in Appleton stirs old emotions and chips away at her resolve, obscuring the best path forward. Set between 1952 and 1977, Hanna Street draws listeners into an era when there was no such thing as political correctness. Smoke free communities did not exist. The closest thing to social media was the CB radios craze. And traveling carnivals were the summer's big entertainment. Hanna Street offers a glimpse of small town life during some of the most celebrated decades in American history. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bettye Zoller Seitz.
