    Rheanon's Heart: Time Travel Society Series, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 287min
    Rheanon Donatesu taught at a prestigious girls' school in London. She prided herself in being able to take a young woman under her wing to teach her about science and, mostly, how to be a leader of women. Clearly an independent woman, Rheanon had always been wild and impetuous. She could turn stone into dust and best anyone at whist, even play cards with the finest gentleman in England and win. What she couldn't do is wait any longer for the man she loved to come back to her. She tried her hardest to find out where he was, writing letters and talking to his dear mother who was her aunt by marriage. Rheanon even tried hard to keep her special abilities a secret. There were only a few who knew about her sorcery: the Five Stars. Her arch nemesis went missing one night during one of the card games. No one could find out who took Miss Lisbeth Ashley. That's until a Bow Street runner comes knocking on Rheanon's door asking too many questions. Then another pulls her right off of the street for questioning - this one vowed he would have her in his bed, but he would have a hard time convincing her. Why on earth would they suspect Rheanon? Only one person knows, and that person is closer to Rheanon than anybody suspected. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Katieandrelisa.

    Monstrous Regiment , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 698min
    War has come to Discworld...again. And, to no one's great surprise, the conflict centers around the small, insufferably arrogant, strictly fundamentalist duchy of Borogravia, which has long prided itself on its ability to beat up on its neighbors. This time, however, it's Borogravia that's getting its long-overdue comeuppance, which has left the country severely drained of young men. Ever since her brother Paul marched off to battle a year ago, Polly Perks has been running The Duchess, her family's inn, even though the revered national deity, Nuggan, has decreed that female ownership of a business is an Abomination. To keep The Duchess in the family, Polly must find her missing sibling. So she cuts off her hair, dons masculine garb, and sets out to join him in this man's army. Polly is afraid that someone will see through her disguise; a fear that proves groundless when the legendary Sergeant Jackrum accepts her without question. Or perhaps the sergeant is too desperate to discriminate, which would explain why a vampire, a troll, a zombie, a religious fanatic, and two uncommonly close "friends" are also eagerly welcomed into the fighting fold. Soon, Polly finds herself wondering about the myriad peculiarities of her new brothers-in-arms. It would appear that Polly "Ozzer" Perks is not the only grunt with a secret. ungekürzt.

    Evita: The Life of Eva Peron , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 81min
    María Eva Duarte de Perón, known to the world as Evita, stands with Jesus Christ as a highly influential historical figure who lived only 33 years. The similarities do not end there: as Argentine novelist Tomás Eloy Martínez has observed, Evita came to "symbolize certain naïve, but effective, beliefs: the hope for a better world; a life sacrificed on the altar of the disinherited, the humiliated, the poor of the earth...myths which somehow reproduce the image of Christ." During her life she was elevated to the status of "spiritual leader" of her country, Argentina, and after death she was regarded there as a martyr and a saint by her many followers. Eva Perón prided herself on having antagonized and earned the hatred of precisely these social classes. Over 50 years after her death, Perónism, the political philosophy devised by her and her husband Juan Domingo Perón, remains a potent force in Argentine politics (the current president identifies herself closely with the Peróns and their legacy), but it also continues to inspire deep enmity. While a large portion of the country sees Evita as a symbol of national pride, there is also a significant sector that sees her as an impostor and a demagogue whose brilliant but irresponsible manipulation of mass politics helped sink the country into chaos. ungekürzt.

    Come Again: A Cut N' Shoot Novella , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 182min
    Tye and Carina are two somewhat seriously flawed characters. They reconnect after a 20-year separation and find they have little in common, aside from that little thing...their son. Excerpt: White. A symbol of purity...of goodness...of virginity. So few brides these days reserved losing their virginity to their wedding night, yet most brides still wore white on their wedding day. Hypocritical, to be sure, Tye thought. But who was he to judge? Being that he was the very definition of hypocrisy. Tye prided himself as a virtuous, Christian gentleman who valued God and family above all. But it'd been quite some time since he'd spoken to God. The Big Guy would no doubt have a few choice words for Tye. Such has "Stop screwing women you're not engaged to." Tye couldn't recall the exact phrasing, but he was quite sure that somewhere in the Holy Book, God conveyed his distaste for sampling the menu before sitting down for the feast. He sighed...deeply. At least his fiancé would rightly wear white on her wedding day...a wedding day tentatively planned for a few short months from now, a wedding day he had yet to pen into his busy schedule...a schedule of...what? Work? Sex with strange women? But he didn't want to be that guy. He always hated that guy. Now he was that guy. Actually...come to think of it, he'd always been that guy. Damn. ungekürzt.

    Dude , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 331min
    The high-stepping mare balked, tossing a proud but weary head, and whinnied a protest as the dust-covered gambler stood high in his stirrups and surveyed the forbidding terrain in front of him. A hundred miles.... Maybe more, he thought. A burned and blasted desert...filled with hostiles, and no water but what he carried in the two canteens slung over his saddle horn. A wide-open inside straight if ever there was one, he cursed angrily, knowing there was no choice but to draw to it despite the odds. Not more than an hour behind him were nine, maybe 10, hired guns. The gambler gritted his teeth and roweled the lathered flanks of the mare. She reared at this latest outrage, plunged, and then resigned herself to the rider's choice. Gingerly, hesitantly, she stepped out onto the rocky, splintered surface. Wes Farley knew the mare was trying to warn him that death waited for both of them out there under that blistering sun. If Wes prided himself on being a gentleman, despite his disheveled finery, he was also aware that the mare considered herself a lady, and not used to the treatment she'd received over the past few days. She was a creature that thrived on pampering and was bred for speed and beauty. Wes suppressed with difficulty a natural feeling of guilt for pushing her so hard. While nothing might catch her over the short haul, almost anything on four legs could outdistance her in time...and that was a commodity Wes Farley was critically short of. A week now they had been dogging him...ever since Central City and the game.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Edward Easton.

    Nativity: A Christmas Tale , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 87min
    Michael Stuyvesant was dying. A wealthy, courteous, and controlled man, all he wanted was to get to Denver to visit his children for one last Christmas. But sometimes even money, good manners, and a compulsive desire for order are not enough. God, the weather, a gigantic shopping-mall Santa Claus, and a pregnant girl who called herself Cheyenne - "like the city. And a river, too. And a mountain and an Indian tribe. I looked it up" - had other plans for him. "'Michael! Michael, oh my God, Michael! What did you do?' he heard in a shriek behind him as he picked up the fallen weapon. He turned to see Cheyenne’s head poking sideways out the open driver’s-side door. Her elfin face, he thought distractedly - the triangular, fox-like face of an elf who thought he had just killed Santa Claus. And what else would she think? Michael Stuyvesant, a man who prided himself on the calm order of his life, stood with a tire iron in his hand, straddling the body of a titanic Kris Kringle while the fat snowflakes drifted down around him and the chiming, clicking noises of an expensive SUV merged with the screams of a pregnant teenager. 'Oh, shut up,' he said." The second of Kindle Singles author Joseph Bottum’s trilogy of Christmas short stories - modern takes on the Gifts of the Magi - the 13,000-word "Nativity" follows 2012’s "Wise Guy". And where "Wise Guy" asked what Balthasar, the Wise Man who brought myrrh to Bethlehem, would be like as a clever thief, "Nativity" now re-imagines Melchior, the Wise Man who brought gold, as a wealthy cancer patient adrift in the American Midwest. ungekürzt.
