    Coco Chanel: The Legend and the Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 561min
    Justine Picardie has spent the last decade puzzling over the truth about Coco Chanel, attempting to peel away the accretions of romance and lies. In this full-scale biography we finally discover the history of the incredible woman who created the way we look now. Coco Chanel was an extraordinary inventor - she conjured up the little black dress, bobbed hair, trousers for women, contemporary chic, best-selling perfumes, and the most successful fashion brand of all time - but she also invented herself, fashioning the myth of her own life with the same dexterity as her couture. While Chanel was supreme innovator and vendor of all things elegant and beautiful, what lies beneath her own glossy myth is far darker. Throwing new light on her passionate and turbulent relationships, this beautifully constructed portrait gives a fresh and penetrating look at how Coco Chanel made herself into her own most powerful creation. Justine Picardie brings the mysterious Gabrielle Chanel out of hiding, to celebrate her great achievements. She examines Chanel's enduring afterlife, as well as her remarkable life, uncovering the consequences of what she covered up, unpicking the seams between truth and legend, yet keeping intact the real fabric of her past. ungekürzt.

    Learning My Limits in Small Craft Boating , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 25min
    Sometimes it is prudent to give up. I was paddling hard with the wind and waves coming across my port bow. The storm had calmed down a bit and I was making a mile long mad dash from The Evergreen State College Beach to Young Cove. To the right inside Young Cove was my lagoon and my Madrona tree to which I tie up my various small water craft. I could cover the distance in about 15 minutes unless the wind picked up. I hate to give into weather in my kayaking; however I had too often been in too many high risk situations caused by my lack of prudence. Although my small craft skills are outstanding, it occurred to me as I fought to stay upright that there really are limits. I was within the last quarter mile of my destination when I capsized. I bobbed to the service with a nose full of salt water. I wasn't cold because I had a full wet suit on. I flipped so quickly that I had no chance to brace. I was just instantly upside down in the water. Noting how peaceful it was underwater I slowly exited the kayak and found my paddle. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Barbara Colvin.

    Lonelyhearts: The Screwball World of Nathanael West and Eileen McKenney , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 801min
    Nathaniel West: novelist, screenwriter, playwright, devoted outdoorsman, was one of the most gifted and original writers of his generation, a comic artist whose insight into the brutalities of modern life proved prophetic. He is famous for two masterpieces: Miss Lonelyhearts (1933) and The Day of the Locust (1939). Seventy years later, The Day of the Locust remains the most penetrating novel ever written about Hollywood. Eileen McKenney: accidental muse, literary heroine was the inspiration for her sister Ruth's humorous stories, My Sister Eileen, which led to stage, film, and television adaptations, including Leonard Bernstein s 1953 musical Wonderful Town. She grew up in Cleveland and moved to Manhattan at 21 in search of romance and adventure. She and her sister lived in a basement apartment in the Village with a street-level window into which men frequently peered. Husband and wife were intimate with F. Scott Fitzgerald, Dorothy Parker, Katharine White, S.J. Perelman, Bennett Cerf, and many of the literary, theatrical, and movie notables of their era.With Lonelyhearts, biographer Marion Meade, whose Bobbed Hair and Bathtub Gin earned accolades from the Washington Post Book World ("Wonderful") to the San Francisco Chronicle ("Like looking at a photo album while listening to a witty insider reminisce about the images"), restores West and McKenney to their rightful places in the rich cultural tapestry of interwar America. ungekürzt.

    How to Survive When the Government Takes Your Kids: Written By a Woman Who Lost Her Kids and Survived, Barely , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 44min
    Everything was going fine, until February 13th 2008. I woke up at 7am, before everyone. I checked on the kids, they were still sleeping, and then I made the mistake that I will regret for the rest of my life. I laid back on the couch and fell asleep… just for a minute. My cousin always came over at 8am, because her son was the same age as Zachariah, and her daughter was the same age as Sarah, but that morning, her son fell down the stairs at her house, and broke his arm, so she didn’t come and wake me up. What woke me up was police pounding on my door. I opened it, and they said: “Where’s your daughter.” I said: “She’s upstairs sleeping, why?” They said, can we see? So we ran upstairs. The first thing I saw was Zachariah, on his bed crying, saying: “Yi Ya threw sissy out the window mommy!!” Elijah was hiding behind his brother. I went into my daughter’s room, and found the entire window was gone, there was only a hole in the wall. What I didn't know, and they didn't know when they did the home visit, was the walls were dry rotted. Elijah had gone into his sisters room, and hung on her window, and it had fallen in the snow (why I didn't hear it fall) he then (Thank God) threw all of her blankets out the window, and then threw her out. He didn't realize he would hurt her. She was okay… she walked away from it. Because of the fall, the neighbors saw it, and called 911. They rushed me to the helicopter. All I could hear was: “Major head injury.” I was crying the entire way, and I didn't have my glasses, so I couldn't see anything. I walked into the hospital, threw all of the news crew, and finally got to my daughter, who sat up and put her hand on her hip, bobbed her head, and said with all attitude.... ungekürzt.

    Where the Three Worlds Meet , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 57min
    The seal's head bobbed quietly in the still water. It looked around at the brightly lit world around him. He had just surfaced for air after foraging for his food in the undersea world beneath him. He was a large Atlantic seal known as a gray seal. At eight feet in length and over eight pounds, he was surprisingly fast and agile.Wet, grey whiskers dripping from the salty sea protruded from his massive cow-like head. His home, St. Margaret’s Bay, is a quaint coastal bay with lots of islands, beaches, wildlife, and a history closely tied to the sea.Not far away from the seal, on a grassy shore, a shiny yellow kayak sat in the shade of a crab apple tree. It’s yellow color is obscured by dust and fallen leaves. It hadn’t moved since the day it was purchased a decade ago. Near its bow, if one looked carefully enough, the picture of a mermaid was painted. She had once adorned the bows of pirate ships, dangling proudly above the water. Today she was only barely noticeable.Back in the bay, guided by its large whiskers and amazing sense of smell, the seal hung suspended upside down in the clear water. Long strands of kelp swayed like snakes from the seabed around him. A lobster futilely attempted to back itself deeper and deeper into a crevice. However, it soon ended up in the jaws of the hungry seal. The seal seemed to be having a hard time moving today. It’s back throbbed painfully in the cold waters.One fall afternoon, an old man paddling by in his kayak noticed a boy named Shannon quietly sitting on the wharf. He had seen him before but had only waved as he paddled by. Today, however, the old man decided to do something different. Something he just had to do. His wide-brimmed hat sat low over his tanned features. His tired back ached. He pulled his kayak in alongside the dock, laid his paddle across his knees, and took a deep breath. ungekürzt.

    The Re-Inventor: MILF Sex with a Young Bartender , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 29min, (USK 18)
    I was alone. My husband had left me for some younger, more attractive lady, and my kids were at college a few hours away. I decided that drinking my problems away would be the solution, but it turned out, that was only a path to my real solution. My real savior came in the form of a young bartender still in college. I was still alone, but he showed me that it was possible to be happy. Warning: If you're not eighteen or older, please don't download this audiobook. In addition, there is content such as First Time MILF sex, rough sex, drunk sex, romantic sex, fingering, squirting orgasm, and more. If you find that offensive, don't read this story. Here is a preview: Tux followed me in, and he closed the door behind him. "Do you normally lock the front door when you're home?" he asked. "Just wondering, if you don't feel safe." "We have an alarm system, but I'm alone now… so yeah, lock the door." I dropped my heels next to the front door. I put my purse and keys on the coffee table and collapsed on the sofa. Moving was no longer an option for me. He did as he was told and joined me in the living room. "Should I get you some water? You seem really out of it." I shook my head, feeling like it was about to come off my neck with how it bobbed. "Come here." He smirked a little and sat next to me. As he did so, he took my hand and kissed it. "So, what do you want to do?" I looked around my living room for a moment. Pictures that had been on the walls I took down immediately after I learned he was leaving me. There were darker squares on the walls where they had been, where the sun had not bleached the paint. I felt the depression creeping in on me again, and I turned to Tux to take it away from me. "I just don't want to live here anymore." ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sophia Chambers. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/089452/bk_acx0_089452_sample.mp3.
