    Loitering with Intent , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 295min
    How wonderful to be an artist and a woman in the twentieth century," Fleur Talbot rejoices. Loitering about London in 1949, with intent to gather material for her writing, Fleur finds a job "on the grubby edge of the literary world", as secretary to the odd Autobiographical Association. Are they a group of mad egomaniacs, hilariously writing their memoirs in advance, or poor fools ensnared by a blackmailer? Rich material, in any case. But when its pompous director, Sir Quentin, steals the manuscript of Fleur's new novel, fiction begins to appropriate life. The association's members begin to act out scenes exactly as Fleur herself had already written them in her missing manuscript. And as they meet darkly funny, pre-visioned fates, where does art start or reality end? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nadia May.

    Unseen Academicals: Discworld, Book 37, Hörbuch, Digital, 283min
    Football has come to the ancient city of Ankh-Morpork - not the old fashioned, grubby pushing and shoving, but the new, fast football with pointy hats for goalposts and balls that go gloing when you drop them. And now, the wizards of Unseen University must win a football match, without using magic, so they're in the mood for trying everything else. The prospect of the Big Match draws in a street urchin with a wonderful talent for kicking a tin can, a maker of jolly good pies, a dim but beautiful young woman, who might just turn out to be the greatest fashion model there has ever been, and the mysterious Mr Nutt (and no one knows anything much about Mr Nutt, not even Mr Nutt, which worries him, too. As the match approaches, four lives are entangled and changed for ever. Because the thing about football - the important thing about football - is that it is not just about football.

    The Crimson Heart , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 23min
    He sighed as he stared up at the blinking neon sign that read “Ancing Irls Live Live Live”. At least, this place was only missing a couple of letters. Some of the joints he had dared to venture into didn’t even have signs. A sure bet that this was a classy establishment. As he looked around, he caught a glimpse of someone watching him through an upper window across the way. A flash of raven hair before the curtains hastily fell. He let her image invade his mind. Dark hair, sparkling green eyes, lips like...he snorted as he stuffed his fists into his coat pockets. He needed to forget her. She was long lost to him and deservedly so. Checking to make sure no one else was watching him but knowing that no one cared anymore - a long ago ritual that was hard to shake - he pushed open the dusty, grubby door and stepped inside. ungekürzt.

    Thrill of the Chase , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 521min
    “Second place is the first loser” according to Sarah Matell, a heroine who wants nothing more than to wrench on cars and race with the guys. As a talented technician in her father’s automotive speed shop, she’s a whiz at tuning race engines. Winning races also comes easily to her. What isn’t easy is winning Craig Keller, local drag race hero. He only has eyes for gorgeous women who are hot in the sack, not grubby tomboys who are fast on the track. Sarah’s world gets an overhaul when her father hires Gordon Devine. The buttoned-up businessman yanks control of the shop from Sarah, a girl he considers spoiled and irresponsible. The poised professional’s stubbornness matches Sarah’s own, but surprisingly, so does his skill under the hood of a racecar. Soon she’s torn not only between two men she wants, but between the drag race winner she is and the more commonplace woman she feels pressured to become. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Italy, 1605: For the ruling Borgia family, Rome is a place of grand palazzos and frescoed cathedrals. For the lowly artist Caravaggio, it is a place of rough bars, knife fights, and grubby whores. Until he is commissioned to paint the Pope... Soon, Caravaggio has gained entry into the Borgia's inner circle, and becomes the most celebrated artist in Rome. But when he falls for Lena, a lowborn fruit-seller, and paints her into his Madonna series, Italian society is outraged. Discredited as an artist, but unwilling to retract his vision of the woman he loves, Caravaggio is forced into a duel - and murders a nobleman. His powerful patrons cannot protect him from a death sentence. So Caravaggio flees to Malta, where, before he can be pardoned, he must undergo the rigorous training of the Knights of Malta. His paintings continue to speak of his love for Lena. But before he can return to her, as a Knight and noble, Caravaggio disappears.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rula Lenska.
