    Attractive Nuisance: A Courtroom Mystery Romance: Legally in Love, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 495min
    A pink-frosted doughnut with sprinkles should not make an attorney shriek in fear. When prosecutor Camilla Sweeten sees newly hired Zane Holyoak slide a pastry from a bakery bag, her reaction is nothing close to rational. It's the exact pink doughnut from her dream where she kissed a handsome stranger! Now she's daydreaming about kissing Zane, even though he poses her fiercest competition for the Chief Deputy promotion she desperately needs.  Attorney Zane Holyoak has always gone with his gut. He's even followed it back to Yucca County, after swearing never to return. Maybe it's leading him back to fill the vacancy for Chief Deputy. If so, Zane can finally prove to his parents he's not just a disappointing kid anymore. However, one attractive obstacle stands in his way: the uber-capable Camilla.  Both are gunning for the job. So when their boss forces them to tag-team a prosecution of a known criminal, it throws them a curveball, especially as the chemistry between them rises. However, as the case unfolds, not everything about the crime, or their assumptions about each other, is what it seemed at first glance.  Attractive Nuisance is a courtroom mystery romance and Book 2 in the popular Legally in Love series by clean rom-com author Jennifer Griffith. Like her other books, it has a touch of cozy mystery and lots of swoony kisses.  Note: This second edition of this novel is a completely new story, although the characters' names have for the most part remained the same. ungekürzt.

    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.

    Waves , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 258min
    Sitting on the beach on a sunny summer day, we enjoy the steady advance and retreat of the waves. In the water, enthusiastic waders jump and shriek with pleasure when a wave hits them. But where do these waves come from? How are they formed, and why do they break on the shore? In Waves, Fredric Raichlen traces the evolution of waves, from their generation in the deep ocean to their effects on the coast. He explains, in a way that is readily understandable to nonscientists, both the science of waves themselves and the technology that can be used to protect us against their more extreme forms, including hurricanes and tsunamis. After offering a basic definition of waves and explaining the mechanics of wind-wave generation, Raichlen describes how waves travel, how they shoal (rise), how they break, and how they transform in other ways. He goes on to describe, among other things, the complicated sun-Earth-moon combinations that create astronomical tides (the high and low tides that occur daily and predictably); the effects of waves on the beach, including rip currents and beach erosion, and on harbors and shipping; and the building of breakwaters to protect harbors and bays. He discusses hurricanes, storm surges, and hurricane-generated waves. He offers a brief history of tsunamis, including Sumatra's in 2004 and Japan's in 2011 and explains the mechanisms that generate them (including earthquakes, landslides, and volcanoes). Waves can be little ripples that lap peacefully at the shore or monstrous tsunamis that destroy everything in their paths. Describing the science underlying this astonishing variety, Waves offers a different kind of beach listening. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tim Andres Pabon.

    Fourteen-year-old Angie and her mom are poised at the edge of homelessness...again. The problem is her little sister, Sophie. Sophie has an autism-like disorder and a tendency to shriek. No matter where they live, home never seems to last long. Until they move in with Aunt Vi, across the fence from a huge, black Great Dane who changes everything. Sophie falls in love immediately and begins to imitate the "inside of the dog", which, fortunately, is a calm place. The shrieking stops. Everybody begins to breathe again. Until Paul Inverness, the dog's grumpy, socially isolated owner, moves to the mountains, and it all begins again. Much to Angie's humiliation, when they're thrown out of Aunt Vi's house, Angie's mom moves the family to the mountains after Paul and his dog. There, despite a 50-year difference in their ages, Angie and Paul form a deep friendship - the only close friendship either has known. Angie is able to talk to him about growing up gay, and Paul trusts Angie with his greatest secret, his one dream. When the opportunity arrives, Angie decides to risk everything to help Paul's dream come true, even their friendship and her one chance at a real home - the only thing she's dreamed of since her father was killed. A place she can never be thrown out of. A place where she can feel she belongs.

    The Trapeze Artist , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 609min
    A man will endlessly torture his muscles until they shriek and complain. But he will not give in. He will take a hammer to his ceiling until the neighbors begin to watch from the window and the journalists knock at the door. He will continue to train and hack away at the house until it is finished and the trapeze is in place. Although his parents thought he was nice and kindhearted and teachers saw him as a good boy, secretly he hated his drab, ordered world and longed for more. Then, when he was 14, Edward arrived at his school. Edward exuded the coolness of a latter-day Oscar Wilde. Edward listened to Patti Smith, watched Fassbinder films, knew the writings of Gore Vidal, and, one evening, would kiss him in the moonlight. Forty years old and fleeing from a life he can no longer handle, he stumbles upon the circus. Not knowing why, only that he must, he gets in his car and follows after it, refusing to listen to the doubts that plague him, determined to build a new home and family. The Trapeze Artist draws together the past, present, and future of one life to create a work of startling dexterity and vision - a haunting and heartbreaking account of a child, a boy, a man, desperate to free himself from the suffocating weight of his desires, his family, and his grief. It speaks of what it is to grow up gay in a straight world, to be unable to communicate with those you love, of the sweat, passions, and tempers of circus life, and, above all, of the joyous longing to break free, and to swing higher and higher.... ungekürzt.

    A Storm of Witchcraft: The Salem Trials and the American Experience , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 750min
    Beginning in January 1692, Salem Village in colonial Massachusetts witnessed the largest and most lethal outbreak of witchcraft in early America. Villagers - mainly young women - suffered from unseen torments that caused them to writhe, shriek, and contort their bodies, complaining of pins stuck into their flesh and of being haunted by specters. Believing that they suffered from assaults by an invisible spirit, the community began a hunt to track down those responsible for the demonic work. The resulting Salem Witch Trials, culminating in the execution of 19 villagers, persists as one of the most mysterious and fascinating events in American history. Historians have speculated on a web of possible causes for the witchcraft that started in Salem and spread across the region - religious crisis, ergot poisoning, an encephalitis outbreak, frontier war hysteria - but most agree that there was no single factor. Rather, as Emerson Baker illustrates in this seminal new work, Salem was "a perfect storm": a unique convergence of conditions and events that produced something extraordinary throughout New England in 1692 and the following years, and which has haunted us ever since. Baker shows how a range of factors in the Bay colony in the 1690s, including a new charter and government, a lethal frontier war, and religious and political conflicts, set the stage for the dramatic events in Salem. Engaging a range of perspectives, he looks at the key players in the outbreak - the accused witches and the people they allegedly bewitched, as well as the judges and government officials who prosecuted them - and wrestles with questions about why the Salem tragedy unfolded as it did, and why it has become an enduring legacy.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio. ungekürzt.

    Venom 1+2
    -> Venom (USA 2018, 108 Min., FSK 12):Als Journalist versucht Eddie schon seit Langem den zwielichtigen, aber genialen Gründer der Life Foundation, Carlton Drake (Riz Ahmed), zu überführen - eine Besessenheit, die ihn bereits seine Karriere und die Beziehung zu seiner Freundin Anne Weying (Michelle Williams) gekostet hat. Bei der aktuellen Recherche zu Drakes Experimenten verbindet sich das Alien Venom mit Eddies Körper und verleiht ihm nicht nur erstaunliche Superkräfte, sondern auch die Freiheit, zu tun, was immer er will. Durchtrieben, düster, unberechenbar und voller Zorn: Eddie muss lernen, die gefährlichen Kräfte, die von Venom ausgehen, zu kontrollieren. Und ist gleichzeitig berauscht von der neu gewonnen Macht, die er nun in sich spürt. Da sich Eddie und Venom gegenseitig brauchen, um ihre Ziele zu erreichen, verschmelzen sie immer mehr miteinander. Schließlich stellt sich die Frage: Ist das noch Eddie oder schon Venom?-> Venom - Let There Be Carnage (USA 2021, 94 Min., FSK 16):Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) lebt nun schon seit einiger Zeit mit dem außerirdischen Parasiten Venom in seinem Körper und die beiden haben sich mehr oder weniger miteinander arrangiert. Allerdings will Venom am liebsten den ganzen Tag Bösewichte verhauen und seinen gewaltigen Hunger stillen, während Eddie darum kämpft, seine Karriere als Journalist wieder in Gang zu bringen. Eine passende Gelegenheit könnte der Serienkiller Cletus Kasady (Woody Harrelson) sein, dessen Opfer immer noch nicht gefunden wurden und der nur mit Eddie über seine Taten sprechen will. Als Cletus dann hingerichtet werden soll, überlebt er, weil er sich ebenfalls mit einem Parasiten verbunden hat: Als Carnage sorgt er fortan für ein wahres Gemetzel, wobei ihm Frances Barrison alias Shriek (Naomie Harris) hilft, die über Schall-Superkräfte verfügt. Eddie und Venom haben also einiges zu tun...
