    Bones & All: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 545min
    Maren Yearly is a young woman who wants the same things we all do. She wants to be someone people admire and respect. She wants to be loved. But her secret, shameful needs have forced her into exile. She hates herself for the bad thing she does, for what it's done to her family and her sense of identity; for how it dictates her place in the world and how people see her - how they judge her. She didn't choose to be this way. Because Maren Yearly doesn't just break hearts, she devours them. Ever since her mother found Penny Wilson's eardrum in her mouth when Maren was just two years old, she knew life would never be normal for either of them. Love may come in many shapes and sizes, but for Maren, it always ends the same-with her hiding the evidence and her mother packing up the car. But when her mother abandons her the day after her 16th birthday, Maren goes looking for the father she has never known, and finds much more than she bargained for along the way. Faced with a world of fellow eaters, potential enemies, and the prospect of love, Maren realizes she isn't only looking for her father, she's looking for herself. Camille DeAngelis' Bones & All is an astonishingly original coming-of-age tale that is at once a gorgeously written horror story as well as a mesmerizing meditation on female power and sexuality. ungekürzt.

    The Tale of Tales: Penguin Audio Classics , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1087min
    Soon to be a major motion picture starring Salma Hayek, John C. Reilly, Toby Jones, and Vincent Cassel: a rollicking, bawdy, fantastical cycle of 50 fairy tales told by 10 storytellers over five days. Before the Brothers Grimm, before Charles Perrault, before Hans Christian Andersen, there was Giambattista Basile, a 17th-century poet from Naples, Italy, whom the Grimms credit with recording the first national collection of fairy tales. The Tale of Tales opens with Princess Zoza, unable to laugh no matter how funny the joke. Her father, the king, attempts to make her smile; instead he leaves her cursed, whereupon the prince she is destined to marry is snatched up by another woman. To expose this impostor and win back her rightful husband, Zoza contrives a storytelling extravaganza: 50 fairy tales to be told by 10 sharp-tongued women (including Zoza in disguise) over five days. Funny and scary, romantic and gruesome - and featuring a childless queen who devours the heart of a sea monster cooked by a virgin, and who then gives birth the very next day; a lecherous king aroused by the voice of a woman whom he courts, unaware of her physical grotesqueness; and a king who raises a flea to monstrous size on his own blood, sparking a contest in which an ogre vies with men for the hand of the king's daughter - The Tale of Tales is a fairy-tale treasure that prefigures Game of Thrones and other touchstones of worldwide fantasy literature. ungekürzt.

    The Inbetween People , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 341min
    “I am writing this for you Saleem. I am writing about us, about how I loved you, and how I killed you.” As Avi Goldberg, the son of a Jewish pioneer, sits at a desk in a dark cell of a military prison in the Negev desert, he fills the long nights writing about his friend Saleem, an Israeli Arab he befriended on a beach one scorching day in July, and the story of Saleem’s family, whose loss of their ancestral home in 1948 cast a long shadow over their lives. Avi and Saleem understand about the past: they believe it can be buried, reduced to nothing. But then September 2000 comes and war breaks out - endless, unforgiving, and filled with loss. As the Intifada rips their peoples apart, they learn that war devours everything - even seemingly insignificant, utterly mundane things - and that sometimes, if you do not speak of these things, they are lost to you forever. Set among the white chalk mountains of Galilee and the hostile terrain of the Negev desert, The Inbetween People is a story of longing that deals with hatred, forgiveness, and the search for redemption. Emma McEvoy, born in the town of Dalkey in County Dublin in 1973, read history and politics at University College Dublin. She later settled in Israel, where she lived on a kibbutz on the border between Israel and Lebanon. She now lives in West Cork with her husband and son and works as a project manager for Cisco Systems. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stefan Rudnicki.

    How Violent Video Games Prevent Violence in Real Life, What Causes Violent Behaviors, the Benefits of Playing Video Games, and How an Average Gamer Can Earn a Living Playing MMORPG Video Games , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 75min
    This essay sheds light on how violent video games prevent violence in real life and elucidates what causes violent behaviors. Moreover, the benefits of playing video games are demystified and how an average gamer can earn a living playing video games is expounded upon in this essay.While it may seem to be an oxymoron, it stands to preponderantly reason that violent video games can preempt violence in real life or at the very least eminently reduce acts of violence. Violent transgressions enacted by humans are always unwarranted and needless including the slaughtering of animals for insalubrious food products that humans as frugivores should never consume under any circumstance. As frugivores with long intestines and high PH levels, human beings will not be able to efficaciously digest these deadly disease causing animal products without it being of dire consequence to their overall health. As frugivores with long intestines, high PH levels, and flat teeth, it is incumbent that our species only devours foods from foods groups that we have the anatomy to efficaciously digest, such as fruits and vegetables. It is unwise to devour animal carcasses, animal secretions, synthetic products, oils, refined grains, whole grains, seeds, legumes, and oxidized products if the individual is keen on optimizing their health, minimizing inflammation, prolonging their life, and mitigating as many deleterious health risks as possible.We currently cannot modify our innate genetic code and should ideally resort to following a diet of only consuming nutrient dense, alkaline fruits, and vegetables that optimize our health and maximize our longevity rate. Fruits and vegetables are replete with vitamins, minerals, carotenoids, phytonutrients, antioxidants, fiber, and other salubrious compounds that we need to be able to thrive, prosper, and flourish. The health benefits reaped and the nutrient profiles will vary per nutrient dense fruit or vegetable, with some foods being fa ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Derrick Magolski.

    Lady and the Wolf: Tangled Tales, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 200min
    A twisted, tangled, romantic retelling of the fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood Lord Hugh de Bar, known as Wolf, has been cursed and shapeshifts into a wolf at night. He vows to kill the man responsible for his torture, Earl Roland Chaserton of Tavistock, but the man has avoided this confrontation by staying locked away in his castle in hiding. But when the man's granddaughter appears in the woods alone at night, Wolf realizes he can take her captive to lure the earl out of hiding so he can kill him. However, he needs to proceed with caution since the girl is armed with a crossbow and skilled at killing wolves - and also very alluring. Lady Winifred (Red) Chaserton has defied her grandfather's orders and sneaked out of the castle to investigate a mysterious hidden door in a knoll that she's seen on one of the hunting trips with her grandfather's knights. Alone in the dark and without an escort, she has only her crossbow to protect her. But when she feels she's being followed by a wolf, the handsome lord of Babeny appears to protect her instead. She is intrigued by the presence of Lord Hugh de Bar, and lets down her guard. However, things aren't always as they seem, and when she's taken captive by him she realizes there is more to this dark lord than meets the surface. He says he despises her for killing wolves and being the granddaughter of his archenemy, yet his eyes tell her a different story. His gaze devours her - and she feels like he wants to eat her. Will magical forces come between a lady and a wolf, or bring them together instead? And will the de Bar family finally find redemption from the dark magic that has been bestowed upon each of the siblings and brought turmoil into their lives? ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Christopher's Diary: Echoes of Dollanganger , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 531min
    Picking up where Christopher's Diary: Secrets of Foxworth leaves off, Kristin Masterwood and her boyfriend up the ante - by going into her attic to re-enact scenes described in Christopher Dollanganger's journal. Jealousy, tragedy, survival, and revenge - the discovery of Christopher's diary in the ruins of Foxworth Hall brings new secrets of the Dollanganger family to light and obsesses a new generation. With Flowers in the Attic and Petals on the Wind both now major Lifetime TV events, the first new Dollanganger stories in nearly 30 years is a timely look at the events in the attic - from teenage Christopher's point of view. Christopher Dollanganger was 14 when he and his younger siblings - Cathy and the twins, Cory and Carrie - were locked away in the attic of Foxworth Hall, prisoners of their mother's greedy inheritance scheme. For three long years he kept hope alive for the sake of the others. But the shocking truth about how their ordeal affected him was always kept hidden - until now. Seventeen-year-old Kristin Masterwood is thrilled when her father's construction company is hired to inspect the Foxworth property for a prospective buyer. The once grand Southern mansion still sparks legends and half-truths about the four innocent Dollanganger children, even all these decades later. Foxworth holds a special fascination for Kristin, who was too young when her mother died to learn much about her distant blood tie to the notorious family. Accompanying her dad to the "forbidden territory", they find a leather-bound book, its yellowed pages filled with the neat script of Christopher Dollanganger himself. Her father grows increasingly uneasy about her reading it, but as she devours the teen's story page by page, his shattering account of temptation, heartache, courage, and betrayal overtakes Kristin's every thought. And soon her obsession with the doomed boy crosses a dangerous line.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rebekkah Ross, Kirby Heyborne.
