Ernest Shackleton: Going South: Heroes of History , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 361min
In the gloom of the ship's oil lights, Ernest saw that the blizzard had broken up the ice plain. Huge, jagged ice slabs jutted into the air around the Endurance, jostling and scraping together. Great drifts of windblown snow had piled up behind them. Alone in the polar darkness, on a ship coated and locked in ice, the explorers waited. As adventurers from around the world raced to reach the South Pole and achieve other polar firsts in the early 1900s, outsider Ernest Shackleton and his motley expeditions would outshine even the British navy, becoming icons of the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration. Known for prizing loyalty, leadership, and skill without regard for rank or social class - and for bringing men back alive - Shackleton completed three death-defying Antarctic journeys. Called the Boss by his crew and Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton by the king, the Anglo-Irish explorer counted it all part of life's grand adventure (1874 - 1922). ungekürzt. Language: English.

Doctor's Dilemma , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 268min
Dr. Tyler Gentry had it all planned out, but the death of his parents in a plane crash changed everything. When he discovered his father had left him a mountain of debt, piled on top of his own student debt, the offer from Dr. William Hall to join his group of surgeons seemed a perfect solution. But the night before he was to start, Tyler received a call that told him to get out while he could. Despite the salary and perks, Tyler found a curtain of mystery surrounding the surgical group. The only thing that made it worthwhile was the lovely operating room nurse, Ashley Wynn, with whom Tyler seemed to make an instant connection. But when their first date ended with his car exploding while she watched, Ashley seemed hesitant to continue their relationship. The stakes continued to rise while Tyler was faced with his dilemma: stay or go? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bill Nevitt.

The Battle of Shiloh: A Step-by-Step Account of one of the Greatest Battles of the Civil War , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 273min
One Sunday morning in early April in 1862, the North and South clashed at an obscure river landing deep in the Tennessee woods, far from the intensely watched battlefields near Washington and Richmond. Until now, many experts believed that the Civil War would be over within a matter of months. But they were in for a shock! Fought by amateur soldiers - mostly Midwestern farm boys led by generals who had never conducted operations on this scale - when the two sides finally came to grips at Shiloh they fought with incredible ferocity that piled more casualties in two days than the losses of the American Revolution, the Mexican War and the various Indian wars combined. Shiloh was a confusing battle, partly because it was a battle of amateurs and partly because it was fought in rugged terrain. Because of this, the author carefully takes you through the fighting hour by hour to help you understand what this tremendous battle was really like, both for the generals and for the young soldiers who did the fighting. ungekürzt.

The House That Death Forgot , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 424min
Overlooking Purgatory Chasm, there sits an old house that has far exceeded its occupancy limit. Only those who reside here are no longer living - they are the ones who have passed on within the confines of its walls and cannot escape. Death had all but forgotten the wretched souls here. When Clara Mae fell to her death and added to the count, it was one too many for the rest of them to take - something had to be done. There just wasn’t room for all of them to exist in that house any longer.But what would it take to break the curse that kept them confined for all these years?While the others had occupied themselves with haunting the living, Charles plotted an escape. But could it work, or would it backfire and leave them worse off than they were before? Could he find a way out before more bodies piled up?Perhaps the evil one would find the answer, or maybe it would just take the help of a child to bring them the peace they had been waiting for all this time. ungekürzt.

Blackmailed by My Husband's Lesbian Babysitter: Lesbian Blackmail, Domination & BDSM , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 44min, (USK 18)
Claire swallowed hard. She had no idea what she was supposed to do next. For all that women flirted with her and hit on her, she had never been with a woman before. She locked her phone and set it and her purse on the counter. Slowly, she unzipped the back of her dress and removed it, leaving just her bra, panties, stockings, and shoes on. Once again, that hungry look in Vickie's eyes made her tremble. "Take off the rest," Vicki said. With nervous fingers, Claire removed her bra. She let it fall to the floor and pushed down her panties and thigh highs, stepping out of her heels when both reached her ankles. She picked everything up, not bearing the idea of everything just lying on the floor. She piled them neatly on the counter and waited to see what Vickie said or did next. "Good," Vickie said. "I want to inspect my property to make sure I like what I'm getting." Warning! Contains intense lesbian domination!

Everyone Is Beautiful: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 452min
Lanie Coates’s life is spinning out of control. She’s piled everything she owns into a U-Haul and driven with her husband, Peter, and their three little boys from their cozy Texas home to a multiflight walkup in the Northeast. She’s left behind family, friends, and a comfortable life - all so her husband can realize his dream of becoming a professional musician. But somewhere in the eye of her personal hurricane, it hits Lanie that she once had dreams too. These days, Lanie always seems to rank herself dead last - and when another mom accidentally criticizes her appearance, it’s the final straw. Fifteen years, three babies, and more pounds than she’s willing to count since the day she said “I do,” Lanie longs desperately to feel like her old self again. Lanie sets change in motion - joining a gym, signing up for photography classes, and finding a new best friend. But she also creates waves that come to threaten her whole life. In the end, Lanie must figure out once and for all how to find herself without losing everything else in the process. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kirsten Potter.

The Oxen at the Intersection: A Collision (or, Bill and Lou Must Die: A Real-Life Murder Mystery from the Green Mountains of Vermont) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 279min
When Green Mountain College in Poultney, Vermont, announced that two oxen called Bill and Lou would be killed and turned into hamburgers despite their years of service as unofficial college and town mascots, Pattrice Jones and her colleagues at nearby VINE Sanctuary offered an alternative scenario: to allow the elderly bovines to retire to the sanctuary. What transpired after this simple offer was a catastrophe of miscommunication, misdirection, and misinterpretations, as the college dug in its heels, activists piled on, and social media erupted. Part true-crime mystery, part on-the-ground reportage, and part sociocultural critique, The Oxen at the Intersection is a brilliant unearthing of the assumptions, preconceptions, and biases that led all concerned with the lives and deaths of these two animals to fail to achieve their ends. How and why the threads of this story unspooled, as Jones reveals, raises profound questions - most particularly about how ideas rooted in history, race, gender, region, and speciesism intersect and complicate strategy and activism, and their desired outcomes. In the end, notes Jones, we must always ask, "Where's the body?" ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dana Brewer Harris.

Red Means Go: The Story About My Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 374min
Red Means Go is the amazing story of a young woman, Joanne Balducci from Bayside, Queens. The oldest among her four siblings, all boys except her, she learns at an early age to handle responsibility and be a strong leader against all odds and ill will. Falling in love with a neighborhood young man, their love affair takes us to the Bronx, to Island Park, and Long Beach by the Atlantic Ocean. Never complacent with the easy-to-reach low-hanging fruit, the Almighty blesses her with plenty of brainpower, gumption, and resolve, and she overcomes all difficulties piled upon her delicate shoulders. From a large Italian family, she has plenty of relatives, some good, some are devil incarnates. She presents us in fine-tuned details the struggle to become a licensed professional, a mother of two, a singer, a college comptroller, and at the end, a lovable school bus driver and a Florida professor. Deep introspection and sharp dialogue open the inner world of a woman who on a shoestring budget becomes a success in the world of greedy men and gossiping school administrators. An immensely enjoyable listen that will stay with the listener and will restore his or her faith in the goodness of mankind. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Miranda West.
