    Love Both, Keep Both: Passport to Peace, Prosperity and Strengthened Diplomacy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 553min
    In a memoir both personal and public, Ken Reiman, a diplomat with dual nationality, tells the story of his heritage from a Japanese mother and American father, and his lifelong desire to serve the United States as a member of the U.S. Foreign Service in Japan. Reiman traces his education in Arizona, childhood summers in Japan, and his grandmothers’ love as driving forces behind his unwavering commitment to be a bridge between the U.S. and Japan.At 24, Reiman entered the world of diplomacy serving the U.S. with distinction in Asia, Africa, and South America. He takes us on many journeys describing good times as well as high stress and bureaucratic obstacles while always seeking an appointment in Japan. Throughout heartbreak and struggles to prove his loyalty, his story argues for advantages for both countries to utilize dual nationals instead of shunning them. He calls for beneficial new considerations governments should undertake to promote diversity, diplomacy, and peace.Love Both, Keep Both is informative as well as heartfelt, especially for Americans who understand the inherent value of diversity and Japanese who view the U.S. as their greatest ally. The message is simple: Embrace dual nationality as a gift, and never apologize for loving all of who you are to become the positive force for change God intended you to be. ungekürzt.

    Because the Cat Purrs: How We Relate to Other Species and Why It Matters , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 465min
    We share our lives, for better or worse, with a multitude of animals: white-tailed deer and white-tailed eagles, hens and wrens, frogs and guppies, and, last but hardly least, bugs and bacteria. For the most part, we drift along separately, with neither man nor animal affecting the other's way of life. Sometimes, however, we fall in love - as in the case of the cat in the title - or otherwise encounter our animal neighbors in ways that change both of us. Lembke challenges her listeners to consider the idea that all creatures are conscious, with the ability to make choices, exercise awareness, and seek pleasure while shunning pain. Rarely has a book of natural history covered such a broad range of subjects, from the everyday bargains we make with our pets and other domestic creatures to descriptions of bungee-cord snail sex and the purpose of a honeybee's sting. Lembke explores the evolution of her subjects, and draws on literature and myth to paint gorgeous, wide-ranging portraits of everyday (and more unusual) encounters, such as that of a gardener and a groundhog, or a chicken egg and Augustus Caesar's wife. This is a sensitive and timely appraisal of how we treat the creatures we share our planet with - and how we ought to. It is a book that no lover of intelligent writing about the natural world will want to miss. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Celeste Lawson.

    Off the Record: An Avery Shaw Mystery, Book 10 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 612min
    Camping is supposed to be a peaceful and relaxing time...unless you're Avery Shaw, of course. No, when you're Macomb County's most intrepid reporter, camping is akin to murder...or a very slow and painful death by disease-carrying bugs. That's what Avery thinks as she takes a well-earned vacation with her boyfriend Eliot Kane. When the duo stumbles across a body at a local festival, Eliot has to force Avery to ease up on the suspicion and embrace the vacation decadence. She's out of her coverage area, after all, and she's supposed to be taking it easy. Eliot wants rest and relaxation but Avery is pining for adventure. When Avery returns to work, the same carnival workers hit town for Mount Clemens' annual festival, and another body drops as soon as they arrive. Avery thinks its fate but Eliot isn't so sure. Between moving into her new house, hiding from her overzealous mother while shunning the woman's decorating instincts, and potentially stirring a race riot when local politicians fail to care about an underprivileged victim, Avery has her hands full. Danger is closing in on Avery, and it's coming from different directions. From nefarious politicians to shady carnival workers, Avery has her pick of suspects. When she finally zeroes in on one, though, things could become dangerous...for Avery. Can Avery save herself when she uncovers a story bigger than she ever dreamed? Or will she fall victim to a killer's hatred and become another victim? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Angel Clark.

    Fall in love! Get swept away by three feel-good stories by NY Times best-selling romance author Jean Oram.  Falling for the Movie Star (Book 1) One picture. One tabloid. Two lives changed forever.  Finian Alexander is one scandalous tabloid photo away from catapulting his acting career onto the A-list. All his bad boy persona needs is an agreeable member of the paparazzi to give him a friendly boost. But vacationing out in the middle of nowhere, the only photographer he knows is way too scrupulous for her own good.  Or is she?  Can Finian make Hailey an offer she can't resist? Or will his proposition take things too far? Falling for the Boss (Book 2) One sexy, burned out billionaire. One spitfire graduate. One small island.  Tycoon Connor MacKenzie has it all from the penthouse to the world-dominating corporation. At least that's what everyone believes. Underneath it all, his life is disintegrating faster than a stock market crash.  When Connor's doctor forces him to take a break, he winds up renting a cottage from a smart and sexy business grad, Maya Summer. She's eager to learn everything he knows, but will Connor's strict new no-work diet and don't-date-the-help rules leave them both starving for more than than just business?  Falling for the Single Dad (Book 3) One developer. One lawyer. One unexpected chance at love.  Years ago, cutthroat developer Tristen Bell had everything that ever mattered to him ripped away. Now divorced, he's shunning all that reminds him of his past and the unstoppable man he used to be.  That is, until lawyer Melanie Summer steps onto the scene, turning his world upside down - and upending his thoughts about falling in love again. But will his heart learn to trust her before it's too late? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Vanessa Moyen. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/168514/bk_acx0_168514_sample.mp3.

    The Baddest Bitch in the Room: (Explicit Version), Hörbuch, Digital, 480min
    Please note: This memoir is for mature audiences only. It features sexual content, adult language and themes, and brings da ruckus. Discretion is advised. Too hot to handle? Go to the clean version. Sophia Chang is a badass of the music industry. As the daughter of Korean immigrants in predominantly white suburban Vancouver, she grew up shunning the “model minority” myth. Armed with a fierce sense of independence, she moved to New York City and infiltrated the world of hip-hop, yet remained mostly in the shadows of the artists she supported. With her debut memoir, Sophia Chang is finally ready to grab the mic for herself. This inspiring story spans her adventures in the music business, her path to becoming an entrepreneur, as well as her candid accounts of marriage, motherhood, marginalization, and martial arts.  For decades, she worked behind-the-scenes helping remarkably talented men tell their stories, including rap and R&B stars like the Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA, GZA, and ODB, as well as A Tribe Called Quest, Raphael Saadiq, and D’Angelo. As an A&R rep in her mid-20s, her world underwent a seismic shift upon encountering a formidable group of nine MCs known as the Wu-Tang Clan. That union would send her on a transformational odyssey, leading her to an enigmatic Shaolin monk who would become her partner, an enduring kung fu practice, two children, and a reckoning with what type of mother, lover, and woman she ultimately wanted to be.  In this Audible Original by Hello Sunshine, Sophia Chang drops knowledge about her motivating journey that took her from record label boardrooms to the Wudang mountains as she built a life shattering biases about Asian women. To this day, she declares she was “raised by Wu-Tang”, and she brings da ruckus as the baddest bitch in the room. At last, her memoir shows the world exactly what that means.  Language: English.

    Bells for Eli: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 597min
    Bells for Eli is Adeline (Delia) Green’s first person narrative of her relationship with her first cousin Ellison (Eli) Winfield throughout their childhood into their young adult lives. The novel opens in 1978 in Green Branch, SC, with Delia appearing inert from an unknown sorrow. The story then flashes back to 1959 when Eli drinks Red Devil Lye, the chemical his father used to blow up balloons for Eli’s third birthday celebration and negligently left in a Coca-Cola bottle. Eli’s accident changes the trajectory of both his and Delia’s lives as he emerges, physically and psychologically, a severely damaged boy.In part because of Eli’s accident, the cousins grow unusually close during the 1960s and '70s, against the backdrop of small-town South Carolina. An only child influenced by a doting mother and alcoholic father, Eli struggles mightily toward adolescence. He encounters bullying and shunning by schoolmates who don’t understand and mock his disfigurement and frailty. Achieving acceptance is torturous not only for Eli, but also for Delia who is her cousin’s protector.Later - his tubes and trach gone - Eli appears normal as he bolts into adolescence, a heartbreaker with a double standard, guarding Delia’s vulnerability when she ventures into a destructive romantic relationship. Determined as Eli is to rescue his beloved cousin from her boyfriend’s ulterior motives, Delia is equally committed to saving Eli when he falls into the wrong crowd enamored with drugs.Eli’s accident changes the typical relationship he and Delia might have had. Instead, it grows into an incomparable love, blossoming into an intimacy that cannot be, for they know to love one’s cousin in that way is taboo. The novel concludes with Delia’s discovery of a shocking secret that reveals truths about Eli she has never known.Cover art of Bells for Eli, Mercer University Press, ©2020 used with permission. ungekürzt.
