Nandia's Apparition: The Nandia Trilogy, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 494min
Once again, Nandia and Bernard find themselves facing another Galactic Grand Council mission beset with uncertainty and danger. The monarch of planet Aesir, King Sabre, is fouling his own nest. Inflation veers out of control, poverty levels are growing like topsy and corporations relocating off-world. The monarch, tipsy at the best of times, has installed incompetent cronies to key government positions. Reports are that Sabre vehemently blames a former, now renegade, Council delegate for the precipitous decline in his planet's economy. And, rather than accept responsibility for his own misdeeds, the King condemns the delegate for widespread rumors that he is becoming unhinged. Figuring in the list of The King's woes include a palace haunting by the shade of his own father, plus blood alcohol levels that exceed manufacturer's specifications. Nandia and Bearns arrive as Aesir's merchant starships are being plucked out of the sky by hyper-drive privateers. A tyrannical warlord from a distant desert planet has commissioned the vessels to buoy up his own failing economy. Is this the beginning of an organized coup d'état? With the help of an immortal chambermaid and a teleporting cat, our two Council delegates must unravel this mess before King Sabre, and the planet Aesir itself, self-destruct. ungekürzt.

Louisa June and the Nazis in the Waves
In this moving and timeless story, award-winning author L. M. Elliott captures life on the U.S. homefront during World War II, weaving a rich portrait of a family reeling from loss and the chilling yet hopeful voyage of fighting for what matters, perfect for fans of The War That Saved My Life. Days after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, Hitler declared war on the U.S., unleashing U-boat submarines to attack American ships. Suddenly, the waves outside Louisa June's farm aren't for eel-fishing or marveling at wild swans or learning to skull her family's boat—they're dangerous, swarming with hidden enemies. Her oldest brothers' ships risk coming face-to-face with U-boats. Her sister leaves home to weld Liberty Boat hulls. And then her daddy, a tugboat captain, and her dearest brother, Butler, are caught in the crossfire. Her mama has always swum in a sea of melancholy, but now she really needs Louisa June to find moments of beauty or inspiration to buoy her. Like sunshine-yellow daffodils, good books, or news accounts of daring rescues of torpedoed passengers. Determined to help her Mama and aching to combat Nazis herself, Louisa June turns to her quirky friend Emmett and the indomitable Cousin Belle, who has her own war stories—and a herd of cats—to share. In the end, after a perilous sail, Louisa June learns the greatest lifeline is love.- Shop: buecher

Things I'll Never Say: Stories About Our Secret Selves , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 425min
Fifteen top young-adult authors let us in on some provocative secrets in this fascinating collection of short fiction that will have listeners talking. A baby no one knows about. A dangerous hidden identity. Hookups that are off-limits. A parent whose problems your friends won't understand. Everyone keeps secrets - from themselves, from their families, from their friends - and secrets have a habit of shaping lives around them. Acclaimed author Ann Angel brings together some of today's most gifted YA authors as they explore unique perspectives on secrets in genres as diverse as the writers themselves: Do they make you stronger or weaker? Do they alter your world when revealed? Do they compartmentalize your life into what you're willing to share and what you aren't? The one thing these stories have in common is how they reveal the characters' secret selves buried underneath - whether they want them to be shared or not.

A life going under . . . Vincent Ruiz is lucky to be alive. A bullet in the leg, another through the hand, he is discovered clinging to a buoy in the River Thames, nearly unconscious and losing blood fast. It takes six days for him to come out of his coma, and when he does, his nightmare is only just beginning. Because Vincent has no recollection of what happened, and nobody believes him. A mile away from his body, a boat was found covered in blood - Vincent's and that of three others. Forensics say at least one of them must be dead. Vincent, a police detective, had signed his service pistol out of the station armoury, despite being on leave. Murder suspects can often fake amnesia, and the investigating team are not sure this case is any different . . . The only clue is a picture in Vincent's pocket: a photograph of a young girl, Mickey Carlyle, who disappeared three years ago. And though Mickey is presumed dead, Vincent has the nagging doubt that she is alive and in terrible danger . . .Praise for Michael Robotham's thrillers: 'I love this guy's books' Lee Child 'Will have you turning the pages compulsively' The Times 'An absolute master' Stephen King 'He writes in a voice with a haunting sense of soul' Peter James 'Heart-stopping and heart-breaking' Val McDermid 'The real deal' David Baldacci 'Superbly exciting . . . a terrific read' Guardian- Shop: buecher

Chatter
An award-winning psychologist reveals the hidden power of our inner voice and shows how we can harness it to live a healthier, more satisfying, and more productive life. Tell a stranger that you talk to yourself, and you're likely to get written off as eccentric. But the truth is that we all have a voice in our head. When we talk to ourselves, we often hope to tap into our inner coach but find our inner critic instead. When we're facing a tough task, our inner coach can buoy us up: Focus-you can do this. But, just as often, our inner critic sinks us entirely: I'm going to fail. They'll all laugh at me. What's the use? In Chatter, acclaimed psychologist Ethan Kross explores the silent conversations we have with ourselves. Interweaving groundbreaking behavioral and brain research from his own lab with real-world case studies-from a pitcher who forgets how to pitch, to a Harvard undergrad negotiating her double life as a spy-Kross explains how these conversations shape our lives, work, and relationships. He warns that giving in to negative and disorienting self-talk-what he calls "chatter"-can tank our health, sink our moods, strain our social connections, and cause us to fold under pressure. But the good news is that we're already equipped with the tools we need to make our inner voice work in our favor. These tools are often hidden in plain sight-in the words we use to think about ourselves, the technologies we embrace, the diaries we keep in our drawers, the conversations we have with our loved ones, and the cultures we create in our schools and workplaces. Brilliantly argued, expertly researched, and filled with compelling stories, Chatter gives us the power to change the most important conversation we have each day: the one we have with ourselves.- Shop: buecher
