Amanda Noble, #Zoolife , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 306min
Amanda's life is a zoo. For real. Her family owns the Noble's Ark Zoo, and it's equipped her with a particular set of skills. She can worm goats, bottle-feed a sick chinchilla, and wrangle a wayward snake with her eyes closed. But when her father becomes a local TV celebrity where he's pecked, clawed, and pooped on for Central Florida's viewing pleasure, she's not sure how to cope with it. Change her name? Move to another city? Then there's Kyler. He's her best friend - the guy who taught her to belch the alphabet kind of friend. And friends don't date friends. Right? When the family is in danger of losing the zoo, it may take more than a working knowledge of gator wrestling and avoiding the business end of a skunk for Amanda to handle a second-string mobster, find a missing body, and convince Kyler they're meant to be together. All this without suffering an epic social media fail. #Zoolife ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Katherine Littrell.

Kendall's managed to wrangle her grandmother's house free and clear except for the rules. No male roommates.

For their part, Anna, Lelani, and Megan all have their reasons for wanting to move in: Anna has got to get out from under her overprotective parents; Lelani can't take another day in her aunt's tiny crackerbox house overflowing with toddlers; and Megan needs a place free of her current roommate from Hades. Though they come with assorted extra baggage filled with broken hearts and dreams, they will discover they also have a vast array of hidden strengths.

Strike Force Bravo , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 603min
The counterterrorism battle shifts to Southeast Asia in the second explosive Superhawks thriller from Mack Maloney, best-selling author of the Wingman series. A terrorist cell with direct links to al-Qaeda's leader captures Singapore's Tonka Tower Hotel, one of the world's tallest skyscrapers. The terrorists contact dozens of news organizations so the world can witness its destruction. News copters surround the building just as the Superhawks enter - rappelling from military choppers, guns blazing, disarming the terrorists' bombs seconds before they detonate. It would seem that kudos are due, but the Superhawks are supposed to be top secret. The Pentagon bigwigs are steamed and send in a team of Navy SEALs to wrangle with the Superhawks. But al-Qaeda is hatching a new plot involving Stinger missiles. Can the Superhawks stop it in time? Or will the sprawling American military bureaucracy trip itself up before they even have a chance to try? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Charles Lawrence.

I wish my job as a magical librarian was just about shuffling books and shushing people from behind a desk. Alas, the magic I wrangle requires a bit more than shuffling and shushing. And to make things worse, I have a frog and a cat, and I have no idea how to use them!Sure, I understand, we all have bills to pay. Personally, I could use a bit of extra cash too. But I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t kill for it. At least...not without dark magic influence. And that’s exactly the problem.Dark. Magic. Influence.My first challenge for the day is finding that artifact and putting it under lock and key before it kills anybody else.My second challenge is figuring out how to deal with a bossy frog and a pushy cat.Which of the two do you suppose will give me the bigger headache?Yeah. That’s what I think too. The frog and cat are going to be the death of my sanity.Maybe I should put them under lock and key too. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Heather Firth.
