Bushworld: Enter at Your Own Risk , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 804min
From Washington to Kennebunkport to Texas to old Europe and new Europe during the past two decades, Maureen Dowd has trained her binoculars on the Bush dynasty, putting them, as both 41 and 43 have complained to her, "on the couch". Here she wittily dissects the Oedipal loop-de-loop between father and son and the Orwellian logic of the rush to war in Iraq. As she's written about Bushworld, "It's their reality. We just live and die in it." Drawing upon her celebrated columns, with a new introductory essay, Dowd probes the topsy-turvy alternative universe of a group she has made recognizable by their first names, middle initials, nicknames, or numbers (41, the Boy Emperor, Rummy, Condi, Wolfie, Uncle Dick of the Underworld, General Karl, and her own nickname from W., the Cobra) as they seek an extreme makeover of the country and the world. Bushworld is a book any reader who cares about the real world won't want to miss. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kathe Mazur.

Aunt Bessie Believes: An Isle of Man Cozy Mystery, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 480min
Aunt Bessie believes that Moirrey Teare is just about the most disagreeable woman she's ever had the misfortune to meet. Elizabeth Cubbon (Aunt Bessie to nearly everyone) is somewhere past 60 and old enough to ignore the rude woman that does her best to ruin the first session of the beginning Manx language class they are both taking. Moirrey's sudden death is harder to ignore. Aunt Bessie believes that Moirrey's death was the result of the heart condition that Moirrey always complained about. The police investigation, however, suggests that someone switched some of the dead woman's essential medications for something far more deadly. Aunt Bessie believes that she and her friends can find the killer. But with Doona suspended from work and spending all of her time with the dead woman's long-lost brother, with Hugh caught up in a brand new romance, and with Inspector Rockwell chasing after a man who might not even exist, Bessie finds herself believing that someone might just get away with murder. This is the second book in the Isle of Man Cozy Mystery series. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rosalind Ashford.

What did that mean?Did I need to do something specific to meet this idea of living?That was when Matt, unaware of my inner turmoil, asked me if I would ever have a threesome.A threesome.The solution to all my problems. That seemed like living a little, getting out there, being adventurous.

Bliss , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 626min
No one blends humor and sensuality like New York Times best-selling author Lynsay Sands in this captivating story of feuding nobles forced to marry - and destined to fall in love. Love thy neighbor, 'tis said. A fine idea, except when the neighbor in question is Lord Holden. Lady Helen Tiernay has complained frequently about his treatment of his people. Too frequently perhaps, for the king intends to curb their constant bickering by ordering them to wed. Helen can't refuse a royal decree, but she'll do everything possible to drive away her devilishly attractive husband-to-be. Holden has faced all manner of horrors on the battlefield. But marriage to "the tyrant of Tiernay" is still a worrying prospect - until he glimpses Helen in the flesh. What flesh it is - soft, lush, made for his touch. If she weren't so intent on thinking up devious ways to prevent consummating their bond, Helen would see how perfect they are together and that a marriage begun as enemies can turn to absolute pleasure. ungekürzt.

Alexander the Great: A Historical Biography of History's Greatest Military Commander , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 121min
When Alexander was a boy in ancient Macedon, he already had grand ambitions. He complained that his father, the great king of Macedon, wasn't leaving anything for him to conquer!

While Alexander emerges as a charismatic leader, the author succeeds brilliantly in creating an objective portrait of a man of boundless ambition who was exposed to the temptations of power.Brutal in his drive for power, Alexander maintained supremacy by forcing his soldiers to marry the foreigners they conquered. He amassed a huge fortune by plundering the riches of his enemies and married two foreign princesses, one of them King Darius III's daughter. By the time of his death at age 32, Alexander had conquered most of the known ancient Greek world, a remarkable achievement in only 12 years. Get your copy of this audiobook today! ungekürzt.

Delusion In Death: In Death, Book 35 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 788min
It was just another after-work happy-hour bar downtown, where business professionals unwound with a few drinks, complained about the boss, maybe hooked up with someone for the night. Until something went terribly wrong. At first it was just a friction in the air. The noise intensified. The crowd seemed oppressive. Some sharp words were exchanged, some pushing and shoving. Then the madness descended. And after 12 minutes of chaos and violence, 80 people lay dead. Eve Dallas is trying to sort out the inexplicable events. Surviving witnesses talk about seeing things - monsters and swarms of bees. They describe sudden, overwhelming feelings of fear and rage and paranoia. When forensics makes its report, the mass delusions make more sense: it appears the bar patrons were exposed to a cocktail of chemicals and illegal drugs that could drive people into temporary insanity - if not kill them outright. But that doesn’t explain who would unleash such horror - or why. Eve’s husband, Roarke, happens to own the bar, yet he’s convinced the attack wasn’t directed at him. It’s bigger than that. And if Eve can’t figure it out fast, it could happen again, anytime, anywhere. Because it’s airborne.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Susan Ericksen.
