    Nadia Knox and the Eye of Zinnia , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 199min
    Nadia Knox knows all about secrets, but nothing has prepared her for what the Eye of Zinnia will reveal! For as long as she can remember, Nadia and her younger brother, Chris, have been tagging along with their parents as they travel the world searching for the untold stories of ancient societies. This summer is different, though. This summer, her parents and their research partners, Mr. and Mrs. Haynes, are angling to win the world-famous F.I.S.H. Prize for Finding Inaccuracies in Science and History. With competition fierce and only a few months left until the finalists are chosen, it'll take the whole team to uncover something truly remarkable: the Kamju, a civilization hidden deep in the wilds of Uganda. Some people believe the Kamju, known for their powerful magic, are not real. Nadia's parents think they can find them. Nadia knows how important this discovery could be to her parents, but she can't shake the feeling that something is wrong. After all, wouldn't there be more than legends and whispers if the Kamju actually wanted to be found? And why are her parents being so secretive about their plans? If they find the Kamju, what happens next? Things go from weird to worse when they meet their mysterious new tour guide, Bantu. Nadia just knows that he's hiding secrets of his own, and she's determined to find out what they are. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tyra Kennedy.

    In Bed with Susie Bright 609: How to Find Hot Male/Male Sex at the CPAC Convention!, Hörbuch, Digital, 27min, (USK 18)
    The Canadians are at it again. A recent NationalPost.com headline reads, "Your porn is not Canadian enough." The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission is demanding that a few of the erotic channels based in Toronto use more Canadian-made porno and include more Canadian-themed content. Just exactly what that would entail sounds interesting. Next, the Conservative Political Action Conference, known as CPAC, is attended by many staunch political types who, it turns out, are also looking for some kinky one-night stands. After listening to fiery speeches from favorite conservatives on the convention floor, it seems the next most popular activity is finding anonymous gay sex. Susie reads from some Craigslist ads, and boy-oh-boy there was some sinning happening at the recent CPAC. Finally, Susie is thrilled to announce that three audiobooks she produced are finalists for the Audie Awards. The Audies are the audiobook industry's most prestigious honor, and just like the Oscars or the Grammies, there are a few picks in various categories. Then, on the award night, one ultimate Audiobook of the Year is announced. Susie's nominated books are: Carries Story, The Invisible Heart: An Economics Romance, and The Killer Wore Leather: A Mystery. Good luck, Susie! Have a question or news story for Susie?

When Leo and Naomi are drafted, along with 22 of the world's brightest teenagers, into the International Space Training Camp, their lives are forever changed. Overnight, they become global celebrities in contention for one of the six slots to travel to Europa - Jupiter's moon - and establish a new colony, leaving their planet forever. With Earth irreparably damaged, the future of the human race rests on their shoulders. For Leo, an Italian championship swimmer, this kind of purpose is a reason to go on after losing his family. But Naomi, an Iranian-American science genius, is suspicious of the ISTC and the fact that a similar mission failed under mysterious circumstances, killing the astronauts on board. She fears something equally sinister awaiting the Final Six beneath Europa's surface. In this cutthroat atmosphere, surrounded by strangers from around the world, Naomi finds an unexpected friend in Leo. As the training tests their limits, Naomi and Leo's relationship deepens with each life-altering experience they encounter.

    The Prize: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 554min
    What do we prize most? Are integrity and ambition mutually exclusive as we seek a place in the world? How do we ultimately value a piece of art - or a life? These are the questions at the core of the evocative new novel by best-selling author Jill Bialosky. Edward Darby has everything a man could hope for: meaningful work, a loving wife, and a beloved daughter. With a rising career as a partner at an esteemed gallery, he strives not to let ambition, money, power, and his dark past corrode the sanctuary of his domestic and private life. Influenced by his father, a brilliant Romantics scholar, Edward has always been more of a purist than an opportunist. But when a celebrated artist controlled by her insecurities betrays him - and another very different artist awakens his heart and stirs up secrets from his past - Edward will find himself unmoored from his marriage, his work, and the memory of his beloved father. And when the finalists of an important prize are announced, creating desperate maneuvering among artists seeking validation, Edward soon learns that betrayal comes in many forms, and he may be hurtling toward an act that challenges his own notions about what comprises a life worth living. A compelling odyssey of a man unhinged by his ideals, The Prize is also an unflinching portrait of a marriage struggling against the corroding tide of time and the proximity to the treacherous fault line between art and money. ungekürzt.

    The Story of My Life: An Afghan Girl on the Other Side of the Sky, Hörbuch, Digital, 281min
    When ABC News' Good Morning America asked its viewers to write essays describing true-life experiences, the network never imagined receiving more than 20,000 pages of inspiring stories. After a panel of best-selling authors and editors chose three finalists, America was given the opportunity to vote on which aspiring author's story would be published. This audiobook is the result of the most ambitious search ever conducted to publish an extraordinary life story. Farah Ahmedi is born into the world just as the war between the mujahadeen and the Soviets reaches its peak in Afghanistan. Bombs are falling all over her country, and her native Kabul is swelling with thousands of people looking for homes and jobs. When Farah steps on a land mine on her way to school, her world becomes much smaller than the dreams and hopes of her heart. The Story of My Life: An Afghan Girl on the Other Side of the Sky recounts an epic journey. It deftly interweaves a childhood in Afghanistan, where the classrooms are naked chambers with only chalkboards on the walls, with an American adolescence, where teenagers struggle to decide whether to try out for school plays and where to go to college. Thanks to a number of good people who crossed her path at critical moments, Farah is thriving. She is actively enjoying the realization of her childhood dreams. Farah is living proof that not only can the human heart endure, it can also thrive. The Story of My Life is our new great American memoir. Language: English. Narrator: Masuda Sultan.

    Empire of Liberty: A History of the Early Republic , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1858min
    In Empire of Liberty, one of America's most esteemed historians, Gordon S. Wood, offers a brilliant account of the early American Republic, ranging from 1789 and the beginning of the national government to the end of the War of 1812. As Wood reveals, the period was marked by tumultuous change in all aspects of American life - in politics, society, economy, and culture. The men who founded the new government had high hopes for the future, but few of their hopes and dreams worked out quite as they expected. They hated political parties but parties nonetheless emerged. Some wanted the United States to become a great fiscal-military state, like those of Britain and France; others wanted the country to remain a rural agricultural state very different from the European states. Instead, by 1815 the United States became something neither group anticipated. Named a New York Times Notable Book, Empire of Liberty, part of The Oxford History of the United States series, offers a marvelous account of this pivotal era when America took its first unsteady steps as a new and rapidly expanding nation. The Oxford History of the United States is considered the gold standard for serious historians and general readers (and listeners) alike. Three of the titles have won the Pulitzer Prize for history; two have been Pulitzer Prize finalists, and all of them have enjoyed critical and commercial success. Please note: The individual volumes of the series have not been published in historical order. Empire of Liberty is number IV in The Oxford History of the United States. ungekürzt. Language: English.
