    The Splendid and Extraordinary Life of Beautimus Potamus , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 767min
    The mystical green planet of Rendaz is home to devout goddess worshiper and university professor, middle-aged Beautimus Potamus - who also happens to be a hippo plagued by hot flashes and poor self-esteem. Beautimus forms an alliance with Samuel S. Goodwings, a younger womanizing, atheist praying mantis. When these two are together, life morphs from the mundane into the fantastic. Our unlikely duo solve mysteries, bring a murderer to justice, and even help end a war, while experiencing their own trials, triumphs, and tragedies. Often with humor, their situations and adventures parody Earth culture. During their exploits, the two interact with a host of characters, including a pair of New Age flamingos, an ADHD afflicted trout, an orangutan detective, and a 310-year-old blue crane High Priestess. All of these creatures are more "human" in surprising ways than the citizens of the blue planet, Earth, we discover was once a Rendazian Colony. Beautimus Potamus' tongue-in-cheek story is a magical fable-stew made with the ingredients of satire, drama, social commentary, and comedy, with jests, puns and wordplay sprinkled throughout. For good measure, a generous pinch of romantic flavoring is thrown into the pot. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kelley Hazen.

    Weird Al (eBook, ePUB)
    This Expanded Edition features even more insights on "Weird Al" Yankovic, including his activities during a tumultuous 2020 and 2021, diving deeper into the world of the iconic man who has made a career out of making us laugh.Funny music is often dismissed as light and irrelevant, but Yankovic's fourteen successful studio albums prove there is more going on than comedic music's reputation suggests. Lily Hirsch weaves together original interviews with the prince of parody himself, creating a fresh take on comedy and music's complicated romance. She reveals that Yankovic's jests have always had a deeper meaning, addressing such topics as bullying, celebrity, and racial and gender stereotypes. The Expanded Edition celebrates Yankovic's vast influence on musicians, comedians, and performing artists as well as what the man has meant to fans-in a time of uncertainty, Yankovic has served as a much-needed bright spot for many.From his love of accordions and Hawaiian print shirts to his popular puns and trademark dance moves, Weird Al is undeterred by those who say funny music is nothing but a low-brow pastime. And thank goodness. With his good-guy grace still intact, Yankovic remains unapologetically and unmistakably himself. Reveling in the mischief and wisdom of Yankovic's over forty-year career, this book is an Al-expense-paid tour of a true comedic and musical genius.

    Scratches Down My Back: Love & Ink Series, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 750min, (USK 18)
    Not for readers under the age of 18+. Contains language, explicit sex, and adult situations. Liam Donovan can't connect with women. The only woman he thought he had something with was his best friend Shayne, but she chose his younger brother over him. Single, bitter, and with a non-existent sex life, he's accepted the only good things he's got going in his life are his tattoo shop and fighting in the cage. When Lucy Stevens walks into his shop for a tattoo, he dismisses her like so many of the beautiful but vapid girls he's met over and over. Unfortunately for him, this five foot blonde bombshell is more than capable of going a few rounds, easily putting Liam in his place. He finds her ability to keep him on his toes both intriguing and annoying. But he isn't just afraid of being able to keep up with her verbal jests. Despite nothing being medically wrong with him, Liam hasn't been able to "perform" on that front in years... But Lucy isn't one to back down from a challenge. When she gets this man in a compromising position and it seems once again his body won't cooperate, Lucy takes control of the situation. A little tough love never hurt anybody, and it seems with Liam, that's just what he needed. For someone that's spent the last decade having to be in charge, Liam finds complete release in handing it over to her. But Lucy is keeping a few secrets from Liam. Secrets that have previously destroyed her life and her past relationships. As she falls for Liam, she knows she needs to tell him. But will he still want to submit to her once he finds out the truth? Or will this be the one fight he walks away from? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Yael Maritz.
