War, Unfinished: A Villain Romance Saga (Arte De La Guerra, #1) (eBook, ePUB)
He was a good man…once upon a time. Betrayed by his own brother and sold into human slavery, Rafaelo Guerra learned the hard way that good was overrated. Emotions that weighed him down disappeared. Beliefs that stood in his way turned to dust. Hands that held a pen were now hands that killed. There was only one purpose left-revenge. But the road to hell is paved with seductive temptations. And his was a stunning woman from his past who'd destroyed what little was left of his heart. In the city of sin…he was the biggest sinner. Michele Guerra was rotten to the core. The target of everyone's vitriol, he learned from a young age to stop feeling. Instead of proving people wrong, he proved them right. Emotions were for the weak. Beliefs were made to be challenged. And the blood on his hands became the blood he needed to survive. He was the most hated man alive-a praise he didn't take lightly. And by the time he made it to his grave, he wanted everyone to share that sentiment. Including her-his maddening addiction-and a pawn in his perfect plan. The only one for whom he'd been a hero, not a villain. Until… The war was on. Two brothers. Two epic love stories. One war.- Shop: buecher

Chaos Zone (Parse Galaxy, #1) (eBook, ePUB)
Space travel is so overrated. Bounty hunting isn't any better, but it's what Sloane Tarnish needs to do if she wants to fix the rundown spaceship her uncle dumped on her. So she can find him and dump it right back. Problem A: Her uncle also ditched his motley crew-made up of a cranky ace pilot and an extraneous mad scientist-and they don't exactly see her as the captain. Problem B: Her ship's too broken to leave the most dangerous system in the galaxy, where a recent power vacuum is turning the place into one orbiting cluster of fugitives, thugs, and swindlers. When Sloane sets her sights on a bounty with a reward that will solve all her problems, the Commander of the Galactic Fleet himself shows up in pursuit of the same man. The last thing Sloane needs is to get tangled in a web of galactic politics-but she won't let her prize go, either. The payoff is just too big to give up. But as dangers close in on all sides, she can't help wondering if she'll live to claim her prize… Chaos Zone is the first installment in a new space opera series full of reckless women, messy worlds, and big adventures-perfect for fans of Guardians of the Galaxy and the Mandalorian.

Midlife: A Philosophical Guide , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 275min
Philosophical wisdom and practical advice for overcoming the problems of middle age. How can you reconcile yourself with the lives you will never lead, with possibilities foreclosed, and with nostalgia for lost youth? How can you accept the failings of the past, the sense of futility in the tasks that consume the present, and the prospect of death that blights the future? In this self-help book with a difference, Kieran Setiya confronts the inevitable challenges of adulthood and middle age, showing how philosophy can help you thrive. You will learn why missing out might be a good thing, how options are overrated, and when you should be glad you made a mistake. You will be introduced to philosophical consolations for mortality. And you will learn what it would mean to live in the present, how it could solve your midlife crisis, and why meditation helps. Ranging from Aristotle, Schopenhauer, and John Stuart Mill to Virginia Woolf and Simone de Beauvoir, as well as drawing on Setiya's own experience, Midlife combines imaginative ideas, surprising insights, and practical advice. Writing with wisdom and wit, Setiya makes a wry but passionate case for philosophy as a guide to life. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stephen R. Thorne.

Misplaced Affection , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 906min
Clichés are overrated, and loving the boy next door may not be as genuine as the love Flynn sacrifices along the way. Knowing he's gay and acting on it were two separate notions to Flynn Brewer until he'd met Keith, his first boyfriend, in high school. Before then, being gay wasn't as real as the pain of living day-to-day. Flynn's fear of coming out to his religious best friend, Zach, in their conservative community destroyed his relationship with Keith, but Flynn rationalized his avoidance and bottled up the truth until it was regrettably too late. Zachary Mitchell was the perfect son and role model as far as the outside world could tell. Active in his church while attending college, Zach had a personality that could sell anything, do anything, or be anything. Except, he couldn't sell the truth to himself. Just when he was ready to reveal his internal conflict to Flynn and expose the darkness lurking in his heart, and in his "perfect" family, Zach met a girl and got sucked deeper into his chasm of deception. Caught in a living Newton's cradle of his own design, Flynn must choose between idealistic childhood fantasy and a tempestuous passion that could ignite the very air he breathes. ungekürzt.

When My Heart Joins the Thousand , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 552min
A heartbreaking debut YA romance featuring a neuroatypical girl with a tragic history and the chronically ill boy trying to break the vault encasing her heart. Alvie Fitz doesn't fit in, and she doesn't care. She's spent years swallowing meds and bad advice from doctors and social workers. Adjust, adapt. Pretend to be normal. It sounds so easy. If she can make it to her 18th birthday without any major mishaps, she'll be legally emancipated. Free. But if she fails, she'll become a ward of the state and be sent back to the group home. All she wants is to be left alone to spend time with her friend, Chance, the one-winged hawk at the zoo where she works. She can bide her time with him until her emancipation. Humans are overrated anyway. Then she meets Stanley, a boy who might be even stranger than she is - a boy who walks with a cane, who turns up every day with a new injury, whose body seems as fragile as glass. Without even meaning to, she finds herself getting close to him. But Alvie remembers what happened to the last person she truly cared about. Her past stalks her with every step, and it has sharp teeth. But if she can find the strength to face the enemy inside her, maybe she'll have a chance at happiness after all. ungekürzt.

Limited Time Offer: Brew Crew , Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 580min
Sex may sell, but their deal doesn't include love.... Brew Crew, book 1. Account Director Sloane Granderson has been given her orders by the CEO - tone down the antics of the "Brew Crew", the guys at Huxworth Packard Advertising who work on their biggest account. Sure, they're all puffed up, strutting egos, but they're also the best and brightest creatives in Chicago. Including the newest recruit, disturbingly attractive Levi Wolcott. Award-winning copywriter Levi is pumped to have been headhunted to Huxworth Packard to work on the beer account. But he's not off to a good start when he and Sloane first meet in an embarrassing encounter in a hotel hall, and the Brew Crew's merciless new-guy hazing doesn't improve his shaky first impression. Even worse, Levi can't ignore the intense attraction he has to Sloane. Despite their mutual "hell no" when it comes to love, a moment of weakness makes Sloan and Levi believe business and pleasure can be kept separate, and maybe a little harmless sex isn't that dangerous. Or maybe it's as harmless as a bomb with a lit fuse.... Warning: This audiobook contains a hero with an award-winning, panty-melting vocabulary intent on the hard sell and a take-charge businesswoman who doesn't mind giving up control in the bedroom...and thinks panties are overrated, anyway. ungekürzt.

An Autobiography in Essays
'A beautiful book: funny, honest, revealing, heartfelt and moving' - Adam Kay, bestselling author of This is Going to Hurt''Vital, heartfelt and surprising, these tales from a life are told with humour, style and intelligence.' - Graham Norton'A wonderful memoir by a glorious writer: funny, poignant, profound. I gobbled it up in one joyous sitting.' - Elizabeth Day'An absolute jewel of a book. Gloriously readable, hilarious, painful, acute, sharply recalled and vividly brought to life' - Stephen FryA dazzling 'tell-most' memoir: poignant and laugh-out-loud funny scenes from the life of actor Minnie Driver.I love stories. I have mostly told other people's but now, in telling my own, I realize how all our stories are connected by that great leveller of acclaim, loss, fortitude, and fortune: being human.When I look at my life from the alleged halfway point, some patterns are revealed: one, that the story does not necessarily begin or end where it should; two, happy endings are overrated. And three, happy endings are almost never the end.This book is memoir-ish. A tell-most. Largely because there's a lot I don't remember, and a lot that's not worth talking about.So, this is a collection of stories about how things not working out - worked out in the end. How reaching for the dream is easily more interesting, expansive, sad and funny than the dream itself coming true.I really hope you enjoy it.Love, Minnie x- Shop: buecher

In Bed with Susie Bright 366: Why Women's Mags Give Such Ridiculous Sex Advice, Hörbuch, Digital, 31min, (USK 18)
Susie has a beef with many women's magazines - she's mad that they change sexual facts just to fit more fashionable ideals. Give us a break! In today's show, Susie helps dig out the dirt on these less-than-truthful articles. A story in the Columbia Journalism Review fuels today's discussion. "Sex, Lies and Women's Magazines" by Liza Featherstone brings up many interesting questions on the merit of magazine stories that produce sexual anxiety, obsession, and insecurities. Susie goes over some of the headlines you've seen while checking out in the grocery line: "7 Great Tips for Better Sex", "The 5 most Erotic Body Parts", and "The 10 Best Places to Make Love".Next, Susie takes us to Czechoslovakia, where a recent study proclaims that foreplay is overrated. That's right, they've proven, through surveys, that great sex and orgasm comes from the old in and out, not any pre-fun stimulation. So shall we join Eastern European women who are ready to go at it at full blast? Then, in the "Try This at Home" mailbag, Susie gets a letter from a listener who reports no problems...and wants to let everybody know that there can be life after marriage, kids and divorce.
