And Away...
The number one bestseller and Sunday Times Humour Book of the Year by national treasure Bob Mortimer. 'The most life-affirming, joyful read of the year' - Sunday Times 'Winningly heartfelt' - The Guardian 'A triumph' - Daily Mail Bob Mortimer's life was trundling along happily until suddenly in 2015 he was diagnosed with a heart condition that required immediate surgery and forced him to cancel an upcoming tour. The episode unnerved him, but forced him to reflect on his life so far. This is the framework for his hilarious and moving memoir, And Away… Although his childhood in Middlesbrough was normal on the surface, it was tinged by the loss of his dad, and his own various misadventures (now infamous from his appearances on Would I Lie to You?), from burning down the family home to starting a short-lived punk band called Dog Dirt. As an adult, he trained as a solicitor and moved to London. Though he was doing pretty well (the South London Press once crowned him 'The Cockroach King' after a successful verdict), a chance encounter in a pub in the 1980s with a young comedian going by the name Vic Reeves set his life on a different track. And now, six years on, the heart condition that once threatened his career has instead led to new success on BBC2's Gone Fishing. Warm, profound, and irrepressibly funny, And Away… is Bob's full life story (with a few lies thrown in for good measure.)- Shop: buecher

Girls on Fire: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 665min
On Halloween 1991, a popular high school basketball star ventures into the woods near Battle Creek, Pennsylvania, and disappears. Three days later he's found with a bullet in his head and a gun in his hand - a discovery that sends tremors through this conservative community, already unnerved by growing rumors of Satanic worship in the region. In the wake of this incident, bright but lonely Hannah Dexter is befriended by Lacey Champlain, a dark-eyed, Cobain-worshiping bad influence in lip gloss and Doc Martens. The charismatic, seductive Lacey forges a fast, intimate bond with the impressionable Dex, making her over in her own image and unleashing a fierce defiance that neither girl expected. But as Lacey gradually lures Dex away from her safe life into a feverish spiral of obsession, rebellion, and ever greater risk, an unwelcome figure appears on the horizon - and Lacey's secret history collides with Dex's worst nightmare. By turns a shocking story of love and violence and an addictive portrait of the intoxication of female friendship set against the unsettled backdrop of a town gripped by moral panic, Girls on Fire is an unflinching and unforgettable snapshot of girlhood: girls lost and found, girls strong and weak, girls who burn bright and brighter - and some who flicker away. ungekürzt.

The Dark Lake , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 763min
In a suspense thriller to rival Paula Hawkins and Tana French, a detective with secrets of her own hunts the killer of a woman who was the glamorous star of their high school. Rose was lit by the sun, her beautiful face giving nothing away. Even back then, she was a mystery that I wanted to solve. The lead homicide investigator in a rural town, Detective Sergeant Gemma Woodstock is deeply unnerved when a high school classmate is found strangled, her body floating in a lake. And not just any classmate, but Rosalind Ryan, whose beauty and inscrutability exerted a magnetic pull on Smithson High School, first during Rosalind's student years and then again when she returned to teach drama. As much as Rosalind's life was a mystery to Gemma when they were students together, her death presents even more of a puzzle. What made Rosalind quit her teaching job in Sydney and return to her hometown? Why did she live in a small, run-down apartment when her father was one of the town's richest men? And despite her many admirers, did anyone in the town truly know her? Rosalind's enigmas frustrate and obsess Gemma, who has her own dangerous secrets - an affair with her colleague and past tragedies that may not stay in the past. Brilliantly rendered, The Dark Lake has characters as compelling and mysteries as layered as the best thrillers from Gillian Flynn and Sophie Hannah. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Kelly and Annie Doll had made it through the rain. They loved each other, had their own home, and their son was getting a good education at a nearby college. They preferred a life with few risks and surprises, and that is exactly what they had. At least, that's what they thought they wanted.When their son brings home his dorm roommate, his parents are more than a little unnerved. They aren't racists, but their conservative suburban life didn't bring them into much contact with black people. Annie can barely remember the last time she interacted with a man as big, black, and attractive as Steven's roommate, Jeremiah. When Jeremiah makes a pass at her, Annie is as shocked as she is secretly flattered. She had never thought of herself as overly attractive, but when Jeremiah deems here a "MILF", she accepts his offer. It isn't long before Jeremiah is taking her mature, hot body to levels she can't even imagine. But Jeremiah is a gentleman at heart, and it isn't too long before he feels the need to share with his friends. Annie's husband eventually learns to enjoy hearing about his wife's adventures, but they both live in fear their son will discover his mom is actually a slut for black men.Like all of Raven Merlot's cuckolding erotica, this story focuses both on the incredible sex between a wife and her bull while exploring the emotions and feelings the newly cuckolded husbands experience. This story contains vivid descriptions of threesomes, interracial sex, back-door adventures, and group sex. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ruby Rivers.
