The Onts: Secrets of Dripping Fang, Book One: , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 99min
Nobody wants to adopt the Shluffmuffin twins. Wally's feet stink something awful, and Cheyenne is allergic to everything. Then why are the Mandible sisters so eager to take them home? And what sort of old maids would choose to live in a place called Dripping Fang Forest, where zombies wander the woods singing "Itsy Bitsy Spider" and 10-foot-long glowing slugs want to suck the feet right off your ankles? Would it seem ungrateful of Wally to point out the Mandible sisters' extra arms? Or to question their all-chocolate, all-the-time menu? Or, um, to venture into the cellar, where the twins have been told to NEVER, EVER, EVER go? Yeah, perhaps that last bit was a mistake. Now there's nothing left for the Shluffmuffins to do but run - run for their lives! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dan Greenburg.

Devotion to the Sacred Heart , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 87min
Devotion to the Sacred Heart is a powerful audiobook filled with many of the treasures to be found in the veneration of the sacred heart of Jesus. Besides containing an explanation of the symbolism found within the image of the sacred heart, it also includes explanations of the nine first Fridays devotion, known as "The Great Promise", the miraculous cure of St. Gemma Galgani, as well as many profound exhortations to offer reparation to the sacred heart. Authoritative and moving, Our Lord instituted this devotion himself, saying: "I set neither limit nor measure to my gifts of grace for those who seek them in my heart." In our age of religious indifference, when fervor and charity have grown cold, Jesus exhibits to the world his sacred heart as the symbol of God's infinite love showing his divine heart as a furnace whose burning rays of love are able to reanimate faith and rekindle love in hearts grown cold and ungrateful. ungekürzt.

The Rejected Writers' Book Club , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 523min
Librarian Janet Johnson is puzzled when she is invited - and practically dragged - to her first meeting of the Rejected Writers' Book Club. This quirky group of women would much rather celebrate one another's rejected manuscripts over cups of tea and slices of lemon cake than actually publish a book. But good friends are exactly what Janet needs after moving to the small town of Southlea Bay, Washington. Just as the ladies are about to raise a teacup to their five hundredth rejection letter, they receive bad news that could destroy one member's reputation - and disband the group forever. To save the club, Janet joins her fellow writers on a wild road trip to San Francisco in search of the local publisher who holds the key to a long-buried secret. As they race to the finish line, they'll face their fears - landslides, haunted houses, handsome strangers, ungrateful children - and have the time of their lives. ungekürzt. Language: English.

New Jerusalem News: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 629min
The summer season on Cape Cod is over - now it's time for the real fun to begin. Dominick is always just passing through. He is a professional houseguest who follows the sun and the leisure class from resort to resort. But this winter he lingers on a quaint New England island and, in spite of his best intentions, becomes involved in the travails of his eccentric geriatric hosts. An environmental protest against a proposed liquid natural gas terminal turns ugly, and by accident and happenstance Dominick becomes a mistaken suspect in terrorist bombings. But New Jerusalem News is really about its characters - the plot is just to keep them busy as we get to know them. None of them is young - these are white-bearded men and blue-coiffed women busy with aging, dementia, and ungrateful children. But Dominick strives to float above it all in a life of itinerant escape. A New England comedy of sorts, on another level New Jerusalem News is an extended meditation on history, identity, and what it means to drift. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: J. Paul Guimont.

In late 1961, Nakushi, a woman of the streets of Bombay, India, has been pushed to the limit by her ungrateful clientele, the Portuguese who still control parts of India. When she prays for assistance from the gods, Agni, the god of storms, answers her. By bestowing various powers upon her, including flight, invulnerability, and the ability to speak any language - important in multilingual India - he gives her the power to become Bombay Sapphire, champion of those who are wronged or endangered, and liberator of those who are enslaved. But her first big goal is to free India from the Portuguese. To do that, she has to find a way to force the prime minister to take action. In the meantime, Nakushi's sister Savitra wants Bombay Sapphire to use her powers to make them rich. Against the backdrop of this sibling rivalry, Bombay Sapphire makes enemies of the Deccan Dholes, the gang that terrorizes Dharavi, the great slum where Nakushi lives. But wherever evil rears its ugly head, wherever people need help, there will be Bombay Sapphire. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Cecil Wood.
