The Almond Blossom Appreciation Society, Hörbuch, Digital, 270min

The good life abroad just keeps getting better as Chris Stewart, one-time Genesis drummer turned sheepshearer and best-selling writer, returns with a new book on his life in the decidedly oddball region of Las Alpujarras, south of Granada. The Almond Blossom Appreciation Society finds Chris and his family still living on their farm, El Varo -- but life there never stands still. You will find yourself laughing out loud as Chris is instructed by his daughter on the way to treat dung beetles, bluffs his way as an art history guide to millionaire Bostonians, collects seeds in North Africa, and joins an Almond Blossom Appreciation Society. And you'll cringe as he tries his hand at office work in an immigrants' advice centre in Granada. In this sequel to Driving over Lemons and A Parrot in a Pepper Tree, Chris Stewart's optimism and zest for life is as infectious as ever. Language: English. Narrator: Chris Stewart.

Fourteen-year-old Rachel Marsh is nanny to John and Abigail Adams' children and witnesses firsthand how tension builds in the feisty New England town in the two years before it erupts in the Boston Massacre.

But the idea of liberty and self-government has taken hold, and once considered, can not now be set aside. At the same time, Rachel begins to take stock of her own life and future, and learns that to live life to its fullest and with integrity, one must seek the truth for oneself and take a stand. Ann Rinaldi, a master at making history come alive, creates a tense and front row seat for the listener as she uses the voice of young Rachel Marsh to underscore that American liberty was not easily won, but at great cost to those who would not let their dreams die. ungekürzt.

Another Dead Intern: Hemlock Connal, Preternatural Investigations , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 413min

When Morgan Burns applied for an internship with Hemlock Connal P.I, he thought he'd signed up for coffee runs and printing jobs, not preternatural investigation. As he starts his new job, Morgan learns about the unseen and blended landscape of magic. Soon he finds himself meeting grungy pixies, mixing with fairy royals, and the annoyingly bad musical talents of a half demon. Morgan has to also face the fact that Hemlock’s last three interns met painful ends.Morgan must quickly adapt to his broadening world to keep the two things he needs most: a paycheck and his life. Hemlock has to keep her wits about her and watch that she doesn’t end up with yet another dead intern.When a friend comes to her about random Bostonians starting to lose their memories, Hemlock tries to find a paying customer. The only one willing to entertain her unnatural explanations is the head of the Irish mob, Bobbi Cotter. Cotter wants to find out why one of her top hitmen has lost his memory, and why one of his planned executions was just carried out by a 15-year-old cheerleader. Early reviews are raving:"Hemlock and Burns are the new Holmes and Watson.""An amazing adventure with a dash of sarcasm, mixed with magic and an ass kicking.""Randomly came across this, and thought the title sounded interesting. Didn't even really bother reading the synopsis. Started reading it, and over the course of maybe a day, finished it.""A funny adventure with gory and quirky plot twists and turns!""What a fun world. This was an easy fast paced read for me. The story never let up. There were great characters throughout and they mostly felt real." ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Daniel Vuillaume.
