Days in the Caucasus , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 478min

We all know families that are poor but 'respectable'. Mine, in contrast, was extremely rich but not 'respectable' at all....Banine's family were peasants who became millionaires overnight when oil gushed from their lands - and the course of her own life would be just as dramatic. This is her unforgettable memoir of an 'odd, rich, exotic' childhood, growing up in Azerbaijan in the turbulent early 20th century, caught between East and West, tradition and modernity. She remembers her luxurious home, with endless feasts of sweets and fruit; her beloved, flaxen-haired German governess; her imperious, swearing, strict Muslim grandmother; her bickering, poker-playing, chain-smoking relatives. She recalls how the Bolsheviks came, and they lost everything. How, amid revolution and bloodshed, she fell passionately in love, only to be forced into marriage with a man she loathed - until the chance of escape arrived. By turns gossipy and romantic, wry and moving, Days in the Caucasus is a coming of age story and a portrait of a vanished world. Cover credit (c) Anna Morrison ungekürzt. Language: English.

Janice the Original: Dating, Mating, and Extricating, Hörbuch, Digital, 245min

Janice Dickinson was not only the first of the supermodels, it was she who (literally) invented the term. A raven-haired natural beauty, she endured a nightmarishly traumatic childhood at the hands of a sadistic, sexually and emotionally abusive father, and emerged in the early 1970s as the first lush-lipped, "exotic" brunette to break into a modeling world dominated by sunny California blondes. But this is more than Janice's tale of triumph. Janice also tells us what's real about beauty and what's not, and how women don't have to be slaves to the pictures they see on the glossy pages of Vogue. She discusses why we need to feel perfect, and how our pasts, our unattainable ideas of beauty, and male expectations all collude to make women feel like they should be working towards the next major makeover before next year's model steps up to the bed. Funny, gutsy, gossipy, yet ultimately searching and unforgettable, Janice Dickinson's story is an amazing story of hard won success unlike any you've heard before. Language: English.

The Perils of Morning Coffee , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 99min

Summer in Edinburgh is a season of delicate sunshine and showers, picnics with loved ones in blossoming gardens and genteel celebrations of art and music. But Isabel Dalhousie's peaceful idyll is broken when a single meeting over coffee with fellow philosopher Dr George McLeod brings an irate phone call from his wife, Roz, who implacably accuses Isabel of conducting an affair with her husband. Wounded by the injustice of Roz's wild allegation and concerned both for her standing among the gossipy group of her scholarly peers and for Roz's apparent state of hysteria, Isabel is minded to discover more about the McLeods and set the record straight before the bitterness in their marriage poisons her reputation. She turns to Millie, an old acquaintance and a university colleague of George's, for insight. Once again, in this engaging, intelligently observed novella, Alexander McCall Smith's sharp-eyed heroine, Isabel, is reminded to avoid jumping to hasty conclusions about the lives of others and to value friendship wherever it's found. ungekürzt.

Saved by Coffee , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 165min

Eight years after Garrett got kicked out by his parents, a detective finds his RV home. Garrett's uncle Travis has died, leaving him a resort-town house with a coffee shop. Garrett wraps up his massage business and heads to Berkley Springs, WV. From a homeless teen to a college-educated, self-made man, he did well for himself. Despite all that, it's hard to walk proudly where so many old memories lie in ambush. Jay is grieving old Travis, who helped him get traction in life by giving him a job and a place to stay. Coffee Spring is his home as well as his profession - but the new owner will surely sell out to an unsavory local. The nephew's good looks are matched by his strong ethics: he refuses to break established boundaries and date his tenant/employee/massage client. Their attraction is hotter than the geothermal spring that brings them together, but their options are...complicated. And the whole gossipy town is watching. ungekürzt. Language: English.

The inimitable Daisy Dalrymple Fletcher and her husband Detective Chief Inspector Alec Fletcher seem to get a reprieve from their sleuthing duties when they are invited to the wedding of their friend, Lucy Fotheringay. Lucy's grandfather is hosting the ceremony at his beautiful estate and so it promises to be a typical affair with hordes of gossipy aunts and other colorful, but not necessarily pleasant, relatives. Daisy meets all these characters and observes the ensuing familial fraternization with a certain kind of amusing nonchalance. That is, until Lucy's great aunt is found strangled to death in her bed. Lucy, in the meantime, has arranged to meet her betrothed in the conservatory, but when she arrives she finds him trying to revive her uncle, who has died - or has he been murdered? And just like that, a normally celebratory occasion turns suspicious. Now Daisy must sift through a throng of relatives - aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents - once wedding guests and now murder suspects. And she must find the killer quickly before another family member becomes a corpse. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lucy Rayner.

Cecil Beaton: Theatre of War: Through the Lens, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 28min

The Imperial War Museum’s incomparable historical collections contain one of the country’s greatest 20th-century collections of photography, while one of the country’s major archives for modern history also forms the basis for exhibitions that are not only scholarly, but also unexpected. One such exhibition is the 2012-2013 show of work by Sir Cecil Beaton CBE (1904-1980). The reputation of Cecil Beaton hardly rests on the fact that he was the most prolific and productive of official war photographers both on the home front and abroad during World War II; rather, he is thought of as a royal-society- and celebrity-portrait photographer, designer for stage and film - recipient of three Oscars and a Tony - prolific author, and gossipy and fascinating diarist. His first published book (1930) was simply entitled The Book of Beauty, and in the decades that followed, not only were there at least eight versions of the diaries, first published in six volumes, expurgated and unexpurgated, but several series of royal portraits. ungekürzt.

A Baby for the Firefighter: Oceanport Omegas, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 489min

In Oceanport, New England's most gossipy small town, people wonder about Griff. Such a cute omega can't possibly be satisfied without a proper mate they say. Yet he'll be 30 soon and as far as they know he's never been with anyone! The truth is that Griff has given up on finding love...that is until his childhood best friend moves back to town and sets his heart on fire. When Dean's firefighter career is sidetracked by a tragic accident, returning to his roots to mend seems like a good move. It gives him a chance to breathe, as well as a chance to reconnect with his oldest friend, the omega who stole his heart when they were young. For some reason though, Griff keeps shying away from him, and it takes Dean a lot of patience, and a ton of cupcakes, to lure the sugar-addict out of his shell - and into his arms. But Dean's memories are still seared by the tragedy that sent him home and Griff is afraid of giving in to his omega instincts. Can they win through their personal walks of fire or is their flame bound to burn out? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Solo.
