    Librarian: Lenna's Arc, Volume 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 613min
    Lenna Faircloth thought she was content enough to be junior librarian at one of the grandest libraries on the Continent, so long as at the end of the day she can enjoy a glass (or two) of wine and some decent shut-eye. Reticent and unconcerned with trivial matters, Lenna is almost laughably nonplussed the day her childhood friend, Gilbert, appears at her door, asking her to help smuggle stolen goods across national borders. Librarian is the first part of a young woman's long journey set in an alternate, sparsely-populated world. When unfortunate circumstances leave a bizarre, out-of-place artifact of immense power in the sole custody of Lenna, she is forced to question her own wants, the source of her withdrawal from others, and the curious nature of the Continent's magic - all the while being the target of numerous political factions longing to possess the strange item bound to her by a child's promise. ungekürzt.

    Fire Horse: Polo, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 475min, (USK 18)
    Preston Fawkes is 10 the first time he meets 15-year-old Konrad Schnell at the San Antonio Polo Club. Captivated by the mystique surrounding the sport of kings, Pres vows to learn the game at the hands of his newly acquired friend and mentor. The hero worship soon grows into something deeper, but the friends are separated when Preston goes off to boarding school in England. The relationship that follows is riddled with challenges: their age gap, physical distance, and parental pressure taking precedence over feelings yet to be explored. Although their bond goes deep, they deal with the reality of their situation differently: Preston is open and fearless while Konrad is reticent and all too aware of the social implications of making a public stand. Their paths intersect and twine, binding them as tightly as a cowboy's lasso, but fate may alter their plans. How will love overcome the divots in the turf as they gallop toward the future - one where obstacles no longer stand in their way? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Max Lehnen.

    Living in the Woods in a Tree: Remembering Blaze Foley , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 567min
    Living in the Woods in a Tree is an intimate glimpse into the turbulent life of Texas music legend Blaze Foley (1949-1989), seen through the eyes of Sybil Rosen, the woman for whom he wrote his most widely known song, "If I Could Only Fly". It captures the exuberance of their fleeting idyll in a tree house in the Georgia woods during the countercultural 1970s. Rosen offers a firsthand witnessing of Foley's transformation from a reticent hippie musician to the enigmatic singer/songwriter who would live and die outside society's rules. In a work that is part memoir, part biography, Rosen struggles to finally come to terms with Foley's myth and her role in its creation. Her tracing of his impact on her life navigates a lovers' road map along the permeable boundary between life and death. A must-listen for all Blaze Foley and Texas music fans as well as romantics of all ages, Living in the Woods in a Tree is an honest and compassionate portrait of the troubled artist and his reluctant muse. ungekürzt.
