Bowl Full of Cherries , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 398min
Porker, fatty, tons-of-fun: Crowley Fredericks has heard it all. He's dropped a lot of weight since his high school days, but he's still a big guy, and the painful words and bullying follow him. Rejected - again - because of his size, Crowley is starting to think that maybe love just isn't meant for huskier men. Averell Lang and his twin are so different they might as well not even be related. So when Rell's brother brings his roommate home to snowy Susset for the holidays, Rell expects the worst - another uptight, pretentious hipster. What he discovers instead is Crowley. Nerdy, fascinating, and attractive. Rell never expected to look at a man this way, and what he sees in Crowley Fredericks is something he didn't even know he was looking for. If both men can overcome their hang-ups, they might unwrap more than presents this holiday season. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Seth Clayton.

It's going to be a long summer... When a pretentious headmistress arrives in Casteloria, Nolan Campbell can't help but hope she cuts her vacation plans short. In fact, nothing would make him happier than to see her on the next plane leaving the island.

44 Scotland Street: Series 1-3: Full-cast radio adaptations of the much-loved novels, Hörbuch, Digital, 204min
Alexander McCall Smith's much-loved series of novels is the basis of this full-cast dramatisation about the inhabitants of an Edinburgh tenement building. Anthropologist Domenica MacDonald observes the lives of her neighbours and the neighbourhood in Edinburgh's New Town. Pat, a new young tenant, arrives at 44 Scotland Street to flat share with Bruce. Bruce is a surveyor with more of an eye for the ladies than a sound property. We're introduced to five-year-old Bertie, who is controlled by his pretentious and intellectual mother, Irene - he's learning the saxophone, speaks Italian, and is extremely knowledgeable about many subjects. And then there's Matthew, setting up the Something Special Gallery with little knowledge of artists or paintings! 44 Scotland Street began life as a serial in The Scotsman before becoming a best-selling series of novels and now a BBC Radio 4 serial.

The Sorcerer's Willful Bride: Love and Other Magic, Book One , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 261min
I was supposed to be writing my thesis, not suddenly married to someone I have never met... to someone named Nox - which is as pretentious as it gets in the Realm. All of which was bad enough - even before I found out that I had agreed to be his submissive as well as his wife....Clearly, prognostication is not one of my gifts, because I never could have foreseen how much pleasure this sassy witch would get from yielding to my demanding and hot husband. All of this has got me wondering about a few things: Does everything happen for a reason? Can a this girl have everything? Is a dominant with magical powers the devil or a girls best friend?This is a romantic comedy that features elements of BDSM. If this offends you, there are lots of books you will like much better. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Samantha.

Tales from The Tummy Trilogy, Hörbuch, Digital, 176min
As a traveling man, Calvin Trillin, longtime staff writer for The New Yorker, has spent a lot of time sniffing the air for the whiff of authentic hickory-wood barbecue and evading invitations to pretentious restaurants he lumps as La Maison de la Casa House, Continental Cuisine. His adventures "trying to find something decent to eat" have been recounted in three hilarious books: American Fried; Alice, Let's Eat; and Third Helpings - more recently issued in one volume as The Tummy Trilogy. Here, in seventeen entertaining selections that range from his efforts to write a definitive history of the Buffalo chicken wing to his attempts to lure his older daughter back from California by finding an irresistible bagel, the man Craig Claiborne called "the Walt Whitman of American eats" proves once again that he is among America's funniest food writers.

Emma , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 882min
The most perfect of Jane Austen's perfect novels begins with 21-year-old Emma Woodhouse comfortably dominating the social order in the village of Highbury, convinced that she has both the understanding and the right to manage other people's lives - for their own good, of course. Her well-meant interfering centers on the aloof Jane Fairfax, the dangerously attractive Frank Churchill, the foolish if appealing Harriet Smith, and the ambitious young vicar Mr. Elton - and ends with her complacency shattered, her mind awakened to some of life's more intractable dilemmas, and her happiness assured. Austen's comic imagination was so deft and beautifully fluent that she could use it to probe the deepest human ironies while setting before us a dazzling gallery of characters - some pretentious or ridiculous, some admirable and moving, all utterly true. ungekürzt.

Saturday Night Dead: The Harvey Blissberg Mystery Series, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 511min
A late night TV executive falls to his death, and Blissberg must crack the case before the killer has the last laugh. When Harvey Blissberg is hired by Roy Ganz, the pretentious, pint-sized producer of a legendary but fading, late night network comedy show, he has no idea that he’s about to walk right into a television tragedy. The private eye thinks he’s doing a short, easy job by dragging a missing guest host out of a Times Square bar. The show goes well but just as the cast and crew start to celebrate, Ganz exits a twenty-fourth floor window, plunging faster than his show’s ratings. Hastily hired by the network to conduct a discreet investigation, Blissberg slowly makes his way through the show’s ragtag roster of writers and actors, many of who would have relished a chance to defenestrate their manipulative boss. The joke’s on Blissberg, however, when he’s forced to make an unexpected detour back to the early days of television. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Paul Boehmer.

My Name is Markham: The Chronicles of St Mary's , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 92min
Best-selling author Jodi Taylor returns with a brand-new Chronicles of St Mary's short story. Like a smaller and much scruffier Greta Garbo - finally - Markham speaks! It's Christmas and time for the first (and almost certainly last) St Mary's Annual Children's Christmas Party - attendance compulsory, by order of Dr Bairstow. Discovered practising his illegal reindeer dance and poo-dropping routine, our hero, along with fellow disaster magnets Peterson and Maxwell, is dispatched to Anglo-Saxon England to discover the truth about Alfred and the cakes. In his own words, our hero reveals Major Guthrie's six-point guide to a successful assignment and the Security Section's true opinion of the History Department. And of historians in general. And of one historian in particular. And, just to be clear, it is time travel, for God's sake. Forget all that pretentious 'investigating major historical events in contemporary time' rubbish. This is history without the capital H. Because this is the way the Security Section rolls! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Piers Wehner.
