  The Art of Wag: An Alpine Grove Romantic Comedies, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 479min

  With the exception of a few failed forays into higher education, Tracy Sullivan has lived her entire life in the small town of Alpine Grove. When she is fired from her hostess job, Tracy hits a new all-time career low. Now, she's officially a repeat underachiever and almost completely broke. The income from her second job as a veterinary assistant is barely enough to pay her rent and keep her temperamental dachshund Roxy in dog food.Desperate for a change of scene, Tracy splurges on a digital art class in the city where she meets Rob Thompson, a geeky computer networking guy, who wants a new career as much as she does. After seeing her illustrations, he offers Tracy a temporary job, but adding "starving artist" to her dubious list of achievements doesn't seem wise. Against her better judgment, Tracy takes on the project. But then, everything goes haywire, and Tracy may never look at her ancient car, fungi, or Rob the same way again.The Art of Wag is the third book in the Alpine Grove romantic comedies. It's a feel-good story that appeals to people who enjoy a little light romance and quirky animal stories. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Pam Dougherty.

  The Thief Who Couldn't Sleep , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 333min

  Introducing Evan Tanner - the first series character created by Lawrence Block, best-selling author of A Walk Among the Tombstones... Ever since a shred of shrapnel did a number on his brain's sleep center, Even Tanner has been awake 24/7. This gives him more time than your average underachiever. Time to learn the world's languages (he's fluent in Basque, but has trouble with Chinese). Time to embrace the world's lost causes and irredentist movements (The Flat Earth Society, the League for the Restoration of Cilician Armenia, the Society of the Left Hand). Time to write term papers theses for students with more money than knowledge. And, most important, time to do his dreaming while he's wide awake. The Thief Who Couldn't Sleep is Tanner's first adventure. It finds our insomniacal hero on a mission to recover a hoard of gold coins, stashed 50 years ago in a house in Balekesir by the city's Armenian community. Promptly jailed by the Turks, Tanner escapes and plays hopscotch across the map of Europe, pulling strings, slipping across borders, and, almost incidentally, fomenting a revolution in Macedonia. Well, these things happen... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Theo Holland. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/081865/bk_acx0_081865_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

  The Scoreless Thai: An Evan Tanner Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 340min

  Presenting Evan Tanner - the first series character created by Lawrence Block, best-selling author of A Walk Among the Tombstones.... Ever since a shred of shrapnel did a number on his brain's sleep center, Even Tanner has been awake 24/7. This gives him more time than your average underachiever. Time to learn the world's languages (he's fluent in Basque, but has trouble with Chinese). Time to embrace the world's lost causes and irredentist movements (The Flat Earth Society, the League for the Restoration of Cilician Armenia, the Society of the Left Hand). Time to write term papers theses for students with more money than knowledge. And, most important, time to do his dreaming while he's wide awake. When his girlfriend, T'pani "Tuppence" Ngawa, disappears on a jazz tour of Thailand, Tanner flies to Bangkok, slips his CIA escort, and rushes to the rescue-only to wind up caged by bandits, who plan to behead him at daybreak. He enlists a young and sexually inexperienced Thai, Dhang, with the promise that he'll get him laid. Their escape route ultimately leads to North Vietnam-and, eventually, into the DMZ. Oh, you don't really expect a summary of a Tanner adventure to make sense, do you? It's a wild ride, partly by bullock cart, and no one but Tanner could bring it off.... ungekürzt. Language: English.

  Could I Do That? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 254min

  Yes, you can! Hands up who feels like a completely inadequate underachiever whenever you hear about someone’s great achievement? When someone in the office is off cycling around the world, or someone on TV has just launched a great new business which will save the planet? Most of us envy the drive and determination of these people. They’ve actually made this stuff happen rather than just day-dreamed about it. We all ask...Could I Do That? Well Simon Hartley is here to show us that we can! Taking on a challenge - big or small - in your career or personal life, can be intimidating but also totally transformational. Simon will show us how to work out what it is we want to do and then how to make that happen. He uses examples and advice from others who have achieved big things. The book examines how you should go about preparing for change, which problems you’ll face along the way, and demonstrates why and how your life will be better as a consequence. Practical and motivational, it’s about embracing change and defeating limiting beliefs. Could I Do That? challenges listeners to think big and take steps to achieving their goals by putting power in the hands of people who don’t yet realise that they can do extraordinary things, too. ungekürzt.

  Tanner's Twelve Swingers , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 305min

Ever since a shred of shrapnel did a number on his brain's sleep center, Even Tanner has been awake 24/7. This gives him more time than your average underachiever. Time to learn the world's languages (he's fluent in Basque, but has trouble with Chinese).

Karlis, Tanner's comrade in the Latvian Army in Exile, is pining for his true love, a gymnast who can't get out of the Soviet Union. So Tanner sneaks through a hole in the Iron Curtain, meets the child he unwittingly fathered on an earlier trip to Macedonia, smuggles a dissident intellectual out of Yugoslavia, adds to his retinue a six-year-old Lithuanian girl, who'd be the rightful heir to the Lithuanian throne if there ever were one, and winds up not with one Latvian gymnast but with a whole company of them. (Collect them all! Win valuable prizes!) And he does all this without a passport. Oh, he had one, but he gave it away... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Theo Holland.

  Tanner's Virgin: Evan Tanner Series, Book 6 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 314min

  Presenting Evan Tanner - the first series character created by Lawrence Block, best-selling author of A Walk Among the Tombstones. Ever since a shred of shrapnel did a number on his brain's sleep center, Even Tanner has been awake 24/7. This gives him more time than your average underachiever. Time to learn the world's languages (he's fluent in Basque, but has trouble with Chinese).

Time to write term papers theses for students with more money than knowledge. And, most important, time to do his dreaming while he's wide awake.  Phaedra Harrow, nee Deborah Horowitz, is an occasional companion of Tanner's, albeit a determined virgin. She goes off on a bargain-priced world tour - and Tanner later learns that the tour's a bargain for a reason: the London-based wanker-in-chief accepts only unattached female travelers, takes them halfway around the world to Afghanistan, and cheerfully sells them into white slavery. Next thing you know Tanner's on his way to pre-Taliban Kabul, where, you won't be surprised to learn, many interesting things happen. And that's just the beginning...  Tanner's Virgin was originally published as Here Comes a Hero, the title supplied by some ninny at Fawcett. What were they thinking? Anyway, here it is, back again in all its glory... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Theo Holland. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/116958/bk_acx0_116958_sample.mp3.
