You, Me & Mr. Blue Sky , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 380min
Is love a choice, or is it fate? Jo-Jo Middlebury is done with love. Linus Travers wants one more shot at it. Mr. Blue Sky, their 1970s-loving guardian angel, offers perspective on both when he's not busy diving into reruns of Happy Days and Barney Miller. Linus can save Jo-Jo’s business, but Jo-Jo makes it clear she needs no one to rescue her, least of all him. Add to that an ex-fiancé with a change of heart, a single mom who wants a good time, and a married couple who's blurred the boundaries of their respective friendships with Linus and Jo-Jo. All the while, Mr. Blue Sky observes, explains, and ever so gently interacts. Authored by wife-husband novelists Elisa Lorello and Craig Lancaster, You, Me & Mr. Blue Sky is a warm-hearted, humorous dive into the depths of love and the mysteries of how two people find their way to each other Praise for You, Me & Mr. Blue Sky:“Authors Elisa Lorello and Craig Lancaster have crafted a charming update on the classic romantic comedy with You, Me & Mr. Blue Sky. Honest, heartwarming, and wickedly funny, this is one love story you won’t want to miss.” (Karen McQuestion, author of Hello, Love)“A romance that proceeds as a wonderful argument between two people who need some divine intervention to knock sense into their heads. A fun read from two terrific authors.” (Molly D. Campbell, two-time Erma Bombeck Prize winner and author of Keep the Ends Lose and Crossing the Street) ungekürzt. Language: English.

Bomb Shelter (eBook, ePUB)
From the bestselling author of I Miss You When I Blink and "writer of singular spark and delight" (Elizabeth Gilbert, #1 New York Times bestselling author) comes a poignant and powerful new memoir that tackles the big questions of life, death, and existential fear with humor and hope. A lifelong worrier, Philpott always kept an eye out for danger, a habit that only intensified when she became a parent. But she looked on the bright side, too, believing that as long as she cared enough, she could keep her loved ones safe. Then, in the dark of one quiet, pre-dawn morning, she woke abruptly to a terrible sound—and found her teenage son unconscious on the floor. In the aftermath of a crisis that darkened her signature sunny spirit, she wondered: If this happened, what else could happen? And how do any of us keep going when we can't know for sure what's coming next? Leave it to the writer whose critically acclaimed debut had us "laughing and crying on the same page" (NPR) to illuminate what it means to move through life with a soul made of equal parts anxiety and optimism (and while she's at it, to ponder the mysteries of backyard turtles and the challenges of spatchcocking a turkey). Hailed by The Washington Post as "Nora Ephron, Erma Bombeck, Jean Kerr, and Laurie Colwin all rolled into one," Philpott returns in her distinctive voice to explore our protective instincts, the ways we continue to grow up long after we're grown, and the limits—both tragic and hilarious—of the human body and mind.- Shop: buecher
