    How do you go from pulling pints one day, to travelling the world, all-expenses paid the next? For this author it involved a huge dollop of ketchup, a little bit of growing up, and an extraordinary sequence of events that flings the author on a career path he’d never dreamed could happen. Throw in the patter of little feet, sharp teeth, amputations, and a smattering of characters from their Tenerife bar days, and you have another serving of ketchup - only this time, it’s a little more salsa. With the Smugglers Tavern still a nagging ghost of their past, Joe and Joy free themselves from limpet-like patrons, battle once more with Spain’s bungling bureaucracy, and dip a toe in numerous but short-lived careers to stop their bar money evaporating. Less Ketchup Than Salsa is a true story about growing up, finding your dreams in the most unexpected of places, and discovering what’s truly important in life. If you’ve ever pondered living abroad, are interested in travel writing as a career, wondered what life is all about, or just want a funny listen in the style of Bill Bryson or Carl Hiaasen...join Joe and Joy on this third and final memoir in the Ketchup trilogy. ungekürzt.

    A Guardian Book of the Year A Financial Times Book of the Year A TLS Book of the Year An Observer Book of the Year A Telegraph Book of the Year From the award-winning author of If Nobody Speaks of Remarkable Things. Reservoir 13 tells the story of many lives haunted by one family's loss. Midwinter in the early years of this century. A teenage girl on holiday has gone missing in the hills at the heart of England. The villagers are called up to join the search, fanning out across the moors as the police set up roadblocks and a crowd of news reporters descends on their usually quiet home. Meanwhile, there is work that must still be done: cows milked, fences repaired, stone cut, pints poured, beds made, sermons written, a pantomime rehearsed. The search for the missing girl goes on, but so does everyday life. As it must. An extraordinary novel of cumulative power and grace, Reservoir 13 explores the rhythms of the natural world and the repeated human gift for violence, unfolding over 13 years as the aftershocks of a stranger's tragedy refuse to subside.

    When the golden Son sacrifices for the One, only then can the curse be undone... Carrick O'Malley is living a double life. To shield his son, Aeden, from a horrific truth, he convinced everyone he'd lost his wife in a tragic accident. But over the last eleven months, he's done his job too well, and everyone now despises the woman he sneaks off to visit-the dreaded Witch of the Woods. Roisin O'Malley became an outcast to protect her small family from becoming collateral damage. Posing as her hated sister, Meg, should have made it easy to find whoever suppressed her magic and caused her disfiguring accident. But after months of searching, she's no closer to the truth, and she's finding it increasingly difficult to be away from those she loves. When someone learns Roisin's true identity, the attacks on her and Aeden resume, escalating in intensity. Roisin and Carrick must put aside the differences caused by their separation and work together. If they can discover the link between the attacks and the ancient O'Malley prophecy, perhaps they can save their family and recapture the magic they lost.

In the last decade, empowered and perhaps enslaved by new technology, there have been whole paradigm shifts in the way we live our lives, communicate, and collaborate. Yet our approach to life-planning and our concept of retirement have failed to keep up. We are still following a retirement model from the age when technology meant recording the radio’s top 40 onto a cassette to play in your Sony Walkman.Our understanding of health and aging has also been transformed. Yet, our current life and retirement planning pre-dates the decoding of the human genome and reflects a time when sports nutrition comprised top-class footballers drinking five pints of lager as a post-match hydration.We now live in a world where it is normal for healthy 60-year-olds to do activities that used to be the realm of 30-somethings.In this audiobook, Dominic Watson takes you on a very different retirement journey, one that is fun and leads to a dynamic and enthralling destination. He shows you how retirement can be done on your terms. Using incredible, real-life case studies, this audiobook will give you the insights on how to live the life you want.Redefining retirement the Rock Star Way isn’t about turning life's amplifier down, it's about well and truly ramping it up to 11 and beyond!What are you waiting for? Let's rock! Times have changed: "It is retirement, Jim, but not as we know it." ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Maloney.

    Welcome to Everlasting, Maine, where there's no such thing as normal. Wolf-shifter Hugh Lupine simply wants to make it through the month and win the bet he has with his best friend. He's not looking to date anyone, or to solve a murder, but when a breathtaking beauty runs him over (literally), he's left no choice but to take notice of the quirky, sassy newcomer. She'd be perfect if it wasn't for the fact she's the granddaughter of the local supernatural hunter. Even if he can set aside his feelings about her family, Penelope is his complete opposite in all ways. Penelope Messing wanted to get away from the harsh reminder that her boyfriend of two years dumped her. Several pints of ice cream and one plane ticket to Maine later, she's ready to forget her troubles. At least for a bit. When she arrives in the sleepy little fishing town of Everlasting for a surprise visit with her grandfather, she soon learns that outrunning one problem can lead to a whole mess of others. She finds herself the prime suspect in a double homicide. She doesn't even kill spiders, let alone people, but local law enforcement has their eyes on her. The secrets of Everlasting come to light, and Penelope has to not only accept that things that go bump in the night are real, but apparently she's destined for a man who sprouts fur and has a bizarre obsession with fish sticks.

    A cheeky, charming debut about 20-something best friends in London navigating their careers and love lives past postcollegiate turmoil and into adulthood, with lots of pints along the way. Emma is a rising star at the marketing firm she works at as a "creative" but would have trouble describing what exactly it is she does all day. She pours most of her actual creative energy into a popular blog that all of her friends agree is brilliant, but she has yet to make a cent on it. Clem is a massively talented screenwriter just back from New York, where she picked up a fancy graduate degree in film. But until she convinces an agent to take on her masterpiece script, she's stuck hostessing at the bar she frequented as an undergrad, and the only calls she's getting are about bills past due and overdrawn bank accounts. In their ironclad friendship, both girls find a reliable break from the postcollegiate absurdities and indignities that seem to abound in life right at the moment they feel they should finally be getting it all together. With a rotating cast of lovably insufferable friends, from Emma's fabulous DJ and ladies' man roommate to Clem's painfully ordinary and predictable childhood chum, the girls wind their way through the twists and turns of aging parents and terrible bosses and regrettable one-night stands, of unforeseen setbacks and blessings that present as anything but, and remind each other that while their ships might not have come in yet, the after-work drinks are cold, and the company can't be beat. ungekürzt.

    A funny, bittersweet, yet heartwarming novel about friendship, family, and finding love in the Facebook age - not to mention the perils, pitfalls, and dubious pleasures of life as a modern young single woman - from Erin Duffy, the author of the acclaimed Bond Girl. Ever since she was a little girl, Abby Wilkes dreamed of her wedding, the day when she'd wear a pretty white dress and look like a princess.… But that was before her life fell apart for the entire world to see. Her longtime boyfriend-turned-fiancé, Ben, unceremoniously dumped her - changing his status to single on Facebook - while she was trying on the most gorgeous Vera Wang dress for the big day. Six months and 20 pounds later, the usual remedies - cupcakes, a freezer stocked with pints of Ben and Jerry's, sweatpants, and a comfy couch - haven't worked their magic. Worried about her best friend, Grace devises the perfect plan to get Abby back on her game. The two of them are going to escape sweltering Boston and its reminders of Ben and head to Newport for the summer. In a quaint rented cottage by the sea, the girls will enjoy cool breezes, cocktails, and crowds of gorgeous men. But no matter which way they turn, Abby and Grace discover that in this era of social media - when seemingly everyone is preserving every last detail of their lives online and prying eyes are everywhere - there is no real escape. Truth to tell, dating has never been easy. But now that the rules have changed and the boundaries are blurred beyond recognition, will they ever find true love? And if they do, how can romance stand a chance when a girl's every word and move can go viral with a single click? As the summer winds down to Labor Day, Abby will make some surprising discoveries - about love, men, friendship...and, most important, herself. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Cyndi Shope.
