    The Best Laid Plans , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 526min
    It's a foolproof strategy...until the emotional balance shifts. After yet another adoption falls through, Gabe is ready to give up, and Shahid isn't far behind him. Apparently, being a gay couple - half of which is Muslim - is just one strike too many for the powers that be. When their friend Kendra offers to carry their baby for them, both men balk at first but gradually warm to the idea. Especially Gabe, whose bisexuality is open to the chemistry among the three of them. The plan seems simple. Kendra and Gabe, foregoing the cold, impersonal IVF clinic, paperwork and red tape, will conceive the old-fashioned way. They'll all share parenting responsibilities, and live happily baby after. But as the heat flares between Gabe and Kendra, Shahid's long-suppressed insecurities bubble to the surface. Then some unexpected news catches the trio off guard and derails their plans - and now one heart could be left out in the cold. Warning: Authors subsist on the tears of listeners. Please recycle your hankies by wringing out and reusing. We'd hate to be the cause of a worldwide shortage of tissues. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Ferraiuolo, Lia Langola.

As the daughter of the leader of the Wisdom Counsel, it’s up to her to step into her father’s shoes until another leader is chosen.It’s also up to her to continue her lineage within the species.She wants to do neither.

The first item on his to-do list is marrying the woman he has loved for years. He knows Frankie will balk at the notion because she’s 15 years older and was his childhood sitter. He’s no longer a young boy, but a man who is determined to win her heart, and he is prepared to do just that.But convincing her they are destined to be together gets much harder when she is kidnapped by an old enemy.

    Stolen Words: A Detective Novel of 1929: The Cyrus Skeen Mysteries, Book 11 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 239min
    It is June 1929. The Roaring Twenties are still roaring, but the period is doomed. San Francisco's celebrated Cyrus Skeen, private detective and scion of Eastern wealth, is secure in his solvency; he has never bought stock on margin. He is as finicky about what stocks to invest in as he is in the kind of client he is willing to accept and work for. Soon after his case in The Head of Athena, he is approached by Susan Harker, wife of Hosanna Harker, a noted local novelist accused of murdering his publisher, Marc Pearson, who has apparently pirated many of Harker's novels and sold them under other titles and names. Mrs. Harker wants Skeen to prove that her husband did not murder the publisher. But soon after that visit, another woman, Anya Spearitt, demands that Skeen prove that Hosanna Harker did indeed murder her ex-husband. Skeen does not balk at the challenge; he senses that something is terribly amiss. A third woman calls on Skeen and asks him not to get involved at all. Skeen visits the jailed novelist and is almost sorry that he took on the case; Hosanna Harker is a very nasty person. Skeen rifles through a catalogue of miscreants, malcontents, and suspects, and by the end of Stolen Words isolates the true murderer. Plagiarism isn't the only wrongdoing Skeen encounters but thieves exploiting each other's thieving and a crew of philandering pragmatists. It's a conundrum only Cyrus Skeen can resolve in his own inimitable way. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gregg Rizzo.

    Walking with the Wounded: The Incredible Story of Britain's Bravest Warriors and the Challenge of a Lifetime , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 489min
    In April 2011, four soldiers - each a hero of recent conflicts who suffered devastating injuries in the line of duty - set out on a challenge that even an able-bodied athlete would balk at: a 200-mile trek, unsupported, to the North Pole. It was the culmination of a journey that began long before, when two friends decided to mount an expedition that would demonstrate how remarkable our armed forces are and raise funds for the rehabilitation of injured service men and women. Little did they know that their idea would ultimately gain global attention, and royal endorsement. The year-long selection process was more physically and emotionally draining than anyone had anticipated. But by September 2010 the final team was set: the two founders, four wounded soldiers, a polar guide, and patron Prince Harry. Once they'd ventured inside the arctic circle, they had to contend with new challenges. Pulling sleds weighing more then 100kg over vast swathes of ice rubble, pressure ridges, and dangerous open water 'leads'; constant daylight; ground that could literally tear itself apart beneath them as they slept; and temperatures as low as -35 degrees. And all the time, they had to be alert for signs of the notoriously aggressive Polar Bears that roam the desolate landscape. With every step fraught with risk, the trek tested its participants' resilience to the limit. Each of these brave men tells their story here, along with that of the extraordinary expedition itself: the rigorous training, the meticulous preparation, and of course, the final, awe-inspiring journey across the ice. They returned as heroes again - proof that strength of mind can be every bit as powerful as strength of body, and an inspiration to us all. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Captain Future #18 Red Sun of Danger , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 306min
    From the archives of the mighty ancients, Curt Newton brings back forgotten Denebian science to balk a greed-maddened schemer, who seeks to loose unspeakable terror on the universe! As Captain Future stories continued to be written, it likely became necessary for Newton and the Futuremen to make their way beyond our own solar system, even our own galaxy. To this end, Captain Future eventually invents the vibration drive, a device that essentially allows the band of heroes to go anywhere they need to protect the universe. New planets get explored and galaxies unheard of spring into life, all teeming with some mystery and evil for Captain Future to face. Travel between dimensions even becomes possible, as does time travel! Ready to battle with fists and weapons if he has to, Captain Future also has other skills that often come into play. Curtis Newton shows compassion throughout the series, for those around him and aliens new to him. Unlike many science fiction heroes, Captain Future doesn't assume that a new being he encounters is evil just because they are different. Many of the conflicts are simply misunderstandings and Captain Future proves himself as strong a diplomat as he is a fighter. Captain Future has no shortage of enemies. Beings from across the universe and beyond plot to dominate planets, to destroy galaxies, and find themselves defeated by Captain Future. Only one of his foes, however, proved evil enough to face Captain Future twice. Ull Quorn, The Magician of Mars, is actually the son of the man responsible for murdering Curtis Newton's parents. Intelligent, ruthless, and strong, Quorn is nearly Captain Future's equal in every way, and comes closer than any to ending the life of the Man of Tomorrow. Rocket into science fiction adventure and discover new worlds. Ripped from the pages of the Spring 1945 issue of Captain Future magazine, Red Sun of Danger is read with wonder and excitement by Milton Bagby. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Milton Bagby.

    American Legends: The Life of Red Skelton , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 69min
    I don't want to be called 'the greatest' or 'one of the greatest'; let other guys claim to be the best. I just want to be known as a clown because to me that's the height of my profession. It means you can do everything - sing, dance, and above all, make people laugh. (Red Skelton) "All I want to do is to make people laugh, to take the word 'heartache' out of their vocabulary." (Red Skelton) A lot of ink has been spilled covering the lives of history's most influential figures, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees? In Charles River Editors' American Legends series, listeners can get caught up to speed on the lives of America's most important men and women in the time it takes to finish a commute, while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known. Among radio personalities and television entertainers, almost nobody had a career as long or storied as Red Skelton, one of America's foremost comedians during the 20th century. Over the course of 70 years, Skelton made crowds laugh from vaudeville to performing as a clown, and while he is best known for The Red Skelton Show and his other variety shows, he also managed a 45 -ear stage career as a pantomime and the other characters he created over the years. Although Skelton was extremely popular in America at the peak of his career, his entertainment was also a throwback to the early 20th century, which compelled television studios to balk at the notion of continuing to air his shows by 1970, even though his shows had spent almost two straight decades with top 10 ratings on the air. Understandably bitter, Skelton refused to have his shows in syndication until the 1980s. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nick Hart.

Their blood sugar levels are lowering a bit, and that is making them feel a little irritable. Just ask a teacher about what a classroom looks like right before lunchtime - he or she will tell you that the room is full of fidgeting, wiggling kids who are dreaming of good food to eat.However, you might have questions about whether or not that school lunch is healthy for your kids. You might be like me, surprised at the idea that your kids are eating chicken nuggets and cheeseburgers every other day. The servings of fruit are far too little, and the veggie servings are even worse. The school systems do a great job of trying to provide the proper nutrition, but on limited budgets for thousands of kids, that can be very difficult to do.That's why making your own lunch for your kids is so important. Sure, some of them might balk at the idea of brown-bagging it, but you can compromise with a homemade lunch a few days a week, then teaching them to make healthy choices for the rest of their meals at school.But what if you're not sure how to fit in the time to make a nutritious lunch? And what if you're not entirely sure what to put in it? The recipes in this book will help you create something delicious, nutritious and easy-to-pack for even the pickiest eaters.Ready to make a great lunch for your child? Sit down and read through this book, find a few recipes to try and give it a whirl! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nicole Bolster.
