Love In B Minor , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 482min
A sweet romance... No promises. No fake tomorrows. That was the plan. New city. New life. At least, that's what 19-year-old Jen Harrison believes. On the surface, she's living her dream: dancing in a prestigious dance company in Paris. But her sister's death and the mistakes she's tried to bury haunt her. She's become a pro at hiding who she truly is, and she definitely doesn't want a guy to derail her, but a one night-stand she can do. Nothing more. She definitely doesn't plan to see the sexy stranger who made her laugh for the first time in years ever again. Girls don't walk away from Lucas Wills. Bad boy turned rock star, he's got his share of groupies. Always upfront, he doesn't promise fake tomorrows because love can destroy everything. Been there, done that. His ex not only lied to him, she stomped on his heart, used him to become famous, and almost ruined him. So, waking up alone after a night beyond his wildest imagination with a girl he just met shouldn't upset him, shouldn't inspire one of the saddest songs he's ever written, shouldn't make him want to chase after her. When Jen, the one-night stand who got away, auditions to be a dancer in Lucas' next music video, they can't stop their growing attraction. But Jen's secrets and his ex could shatter the careers they tried so hard to build and their hearts…they will have to decide what's more important and if love is worth the fight. ungekürzt.

Nirvana Teen Spirit: The Tribute To Kurt Cobain, Hörbuch, Digital, 68min
Nirvana exploded onto a music scene that had no mind, no depth and no substance. A young audience, sick to the teeth of formula pop and sugar-coated, safe rock was quickly seduced by the dark and dangerous charisma of this loud, angry band hailing from 'nowhere' USA. This band were different. They were multidimensional. The songs could be angry, ugly or beautiful as hell, Kurt Cobain's voice and the thrashing guitars a nightmare or the saddest lament for lost humanity. These paradoxes were the driving force behind one of the best live bands of all time - a real fans' band that loved nothing better than to entertain an audience. Nirvana were not the most fluent nor the most proficient live band, and some of the sets were jagged and raw from start to finish - but there was always an urgency, a latent force and dangerous, drawing spontaneity about them, and Kurt in particular, that sent audiences wild. Featuring exclusive interviews and tracks dedicated to Kurt, this is a moving tribute to Kurt the man and his music from those who were inspired by his extraordinary genius. Bringing together his peers, his friends and those close to the band and not forgetting the loyal fans who keep his memory alive. From Smalltown USA to the dizzying heights of stardom, this audiobook examines Kurt Cobain's life, his musical influences and his death. These are precious moments which bring us nearer to understanding the legend that was Kurt Cobain. He left his troubled life on April 4, 1994, but his urgent message is not forgotten, his genius is not lost and his unique contribution lives on. Language: English.

Chosen Pride: L'Ange, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 493min
Jon Slade finally met his mate, but instead of it being the happiest day of his life, it became the saddest when wolf shifter Kelvin MacCurdy chose his obligations over their fated bond, leaving Jon to pick up the pieces of his shattered dreams. Lucky for him, Roman Howell, his boss and the owner of L'Ange, saw promise in the forlorn lion and put him to work so he wouldn't have time to sit around and lick his wounds while he waited for his wounded spirit to heal. Then the wolves make an official visit to L'Ange, and Jon finds out Kelvin's pining for him is taking its toll on his position as the king's champion. Though Kelvin's training and the expectations of others steer him toward an intended mate, Jon has an unbreakable hold on his heart, and it's no longer possible for Kelvin to keep himself from where he truly belongs. But the conclave brings more than Kelvin to the château. It also brings a challenge to jackal alpha Quade Danas, a threat that Quade and Roman, Arman and Linus, and Jon and Kelvin may have to fight in order to keep L'Ange's family intact. Jon never wanted to lead a pride, but the loyalty and devotion to one is ingrained in him. Kelvin was raised to punish anyone who questioned his king, but the calling to protect others runs through his veins just as deeply. To come out on the other side of the battle together, Jon and Kelvin will have to hold the darkness of solitary pride and broken hearts at bay - and find strength in belonging to something bigger than themselves. ungekürzt.

Mourning Lincoln , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 747min
Through deep and thoughtful exploration of diaries, letters, and other personal writings penned during the spring and summer of 1865, Martha Hodes, one of our finest historians, captures the full range of reactions to the president's death - far more diverse than public expressions would suggest. She tells a story of shock, glee, sorrow, anger, blame, and fear. "'Tis the saddest day in our history," wrote a mournful man. It was "an electric shock to my soul", wrote a woman who had escaped from slavery. "Glorious News!" a Lincoln enemy exulted. "Old Lincoln is dead, and I will kill the goddamned Negroes now", an angry white Southerner ranted. For the black soldiers of the 54th Massachusetts, it was all "too overwhelming, too lamentable, too distressing" to absorb. There are many surprises in the story Hodes tells, not least the way in which even those utterly devastated by Lincoln's demise easily interrupted their mourning rituals to attend to the most mundane aspects of everyday life. There is also the unexpected and unabated virulence of Lincoln's Northern critics and the way Confederates simultaneously celebrated Lincoln's death and instantly - on the very day he died - cast him as a fallen friend to the defeated white South. Hodes brings to life a key moment of national uncertainty and confusion, when competing visions of America's future proved irreconcilable and hopes for racial justice in the aftermath of the Civil War slipped from the nation's grasp. Hodes masterfully brings the tragedy of Lincoln's assassination alive in human terms - terms that continue to stagger and rivet us 150 years after the event they so strikingly describe. ungekürzt.

Breeding Puppies: How to Make Money Breeding Puppies , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 24min
There are no secrets in the breeding of fine dogs. Nature's laws, basic truths, are like the Ten Commandments and bear repeating - the more often the better. The receipt for success in the science of reproduction is both simple and complex, but it can be summed up in a little word: Selection is the secret of breeding fine dogs - selection based on knowledge. A great winner is no accident. Behind each great dog are a planned breeding program and a continuity of purpose extending over many years, by the dog's immediate breeder, of a succession of breeders. Long ago, people assumed that ill luck and good fortune were based upon chance. Science has narrowed the gap - if one does not depend entirely upon Lady Luck. Nature is all-powerful, but science has proven that nature can be guided and controlled, that individuals' traits in a living machine can be focused and fixed. Thinking back, I recall a poem that my parents used to quote to us children. (I am not sure I have it just right.) If, of all sad words of tongue and pen, the saddest are, "It might have been." Sadder are these we daily see. It is, but it ought not to be. But of all glad words of prose and rhyme, the gladdest are, "There still is time." Nothing could be more appropriate than this when we consider the little dogs that hadn't ought to be, but there is still time for breeders to take an inventory of their breeding programs, to check where they've been, how long they've been there, and the direction in which they are going. ungekürzt.

Without Expiration: A Personal Anthology , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 253min
Are we bad people who sometimes do good things, or good people who do bad things?As a society that struggles to reconcile the uncovering of past wrongs with simple human frailty, punishment, and personal redemption, the stories in Without Expiration challenge us to consider the humanity of characters who are flawed and heartbroken and who do and suffer terrible things.Works from Without Expiration have been published in some of America’s best short fiction journals. From the tale of a devastated father hunting his daughter’s killer to that of a couple forced to confront the disintegration of their marriage anew each time the wife awakes from a persistent vegetative state, the short fictions in this anthology seek to obliterate any sense of righteous indignation and to question how any of us can make it unscathed through a life where our every mistake is without expiration.Praise for the book:“Hincy doesn’t hold your hand while he tells you a story - he leads you to the darkest hour, the deepest secret, the saddest truth, and leaves you holding the consequences. While one story is funny and filled with ludicrous-but-adorable characters, the next is stark, real, and unsettling. You may need a moment to recuperate between stories, but it’s well worth it. This is short story telling at its finest.” (Connie Kuntz, editor, The Rockford Review)“Deft, poignant, and unflinching, this collection takes the short story form and turns it inside-out like yesterday's lost sock. Not to be missed.” (Charles Hood, winner of the Kenneth Patchen Prize for experimental fiction) “In Without Expiration, William Hincy wields keen mastery of a dazzling variety of narrative styles and voices. Many of the stories in this collection are deeply poignant, with a recurring theme of loss, while others are told with a primal irreverence, exploring the substance of what is human and humane.

Under pressure you don't rise to the occasion, you sink to the level of your training. That's why we train so hard.

(Unknown) "When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years." (Mark Twain) "We live in a country where if you want to go bomb somebody, there’s remarkably little discussion about how much it might cost. But when you have a discussion about whether or not we can assist people who are suffering, then suddenly we become very cost-conscious." (Prof. Andrew Bacevich) "There are essentially only two drugs that Western civilization tolerates: Caffeine from Monday to Friday to energize you enough to make you a productive member of society, and alcohol from Friday to Monday to keep you too stupid to figure out the prison that you are living in."

The Reappearance of Sam Webber , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 448min
When eleven-year-old Sam Webber's father disappears without a trace, he and his mother are forced to relocate to a tough neighborhood, closer to her job. Unfamiliar with his surroundings and intimidated by the students of his new school, Sam recounts the sometimes frightening, sometimes delightful details of his life with touching, humorous sincerity. Living in a tiny apartment with a bedroom that feels like a closet and a closet that has been turned into a den, he is forced to deal with the legacy of depression that marked his father, and threatens to envelop him. The city remains a cold and unwelcoming place to Sam until he meets Greely, an elderly black janitor at his junior high. Through this unlikely friendship, Sam begins to heal, as well as confront the racism that surrounds his community, and his life. With afternoons of football in the park and greasy meals at the local Little Tavern, Sam discovers that friendship and warmth can rise in even the saddest times. Tracing a year in the life of an exceptional young boy, newcomer Jonathon Scott Fuqua leaves an impression that endures like a watermark.

Soul Swapped , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 85min
Daryl spends his days working at the hospital as a caring orderly, but he spends his nights listening to his gorgeous neighbor Jessica get intimate with her husband through the paper-thin walls of his apartment. It's not so bad until he gets a mysterious package containing an old wooden carving that gives him some very vivid, very personal dreams...dreams where he's not only with Jessica, but where he is Jessica! Daryl takes care of all the patients at St. Mary's, a special hospital where most of the city's saddest cases end up, but he's especially caring towards one patient in particular: Karen Harper, the girl in the coma. She had her life taken away from her just like Daryl did, although the diagnoses are different: Karen will never wake up, and Daryl's tragic illness means he has less than two years left to live. The only thing that keeps him going is the strange, almost mystical attraction he feels toward his gorgeous neighbor Jessica, and he looks forward to talking to her whenever he can. But not only is she married to some jerk named Tony - Daryl also has to listen to her get intimate with him through the paper-thin walls between their apartments way more often than he'd like to. Everything changes when Daryl gets a mysterious package that contains an ancient wooden figurine. Legends say it has the power to bring soulmates together. Soon, Daryl starts waking up each night in Jessica's body! It wasn't quite what he had in mind when he imagined getting closer to her, especially since sometimes she's with Tony when it happens. Can Daryl harness the power of the figurine to find a way to be with Jessica before his time runs out? Or is he doomed to live his few remaining days with just his secret, dreaming glimpses of Jessica's inner life? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sophia Chambers.
