  The Worst Best Man , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 707min

  Newsflash. You don't buy me, a$#%^*e. You earn me.  The bride is a doll. The groom is the perfect gentleman. But the rest of the wedding party? They're the stuff of nightmares. Rich? Check. Vapid? Double check. Entitled? Not enough checks in the world. And the best man? More like the worst man.  But maid of honor Franchesca takes her duties seriously. Kidnapped groom? She's got this. Rude attendees? You just watch her handle them. So a best man with a big attitude and an even bigger...checkbook? Yeah, there's no way she's going to let that pretentious, judgmental jackhole ruin her best friend's wedding. No matter how sexy he is. (Well, that's the plan anyway...)  Aiden Kilbourn doesn't do long-term relationships. He's busy ruling the business world, and has yet to find a woman he can tolerate for longer than a month, two at the most, anyway. Conquering the unconquerable is basically his bread and butter. And he hasn't met a challenge that he can't win. But Franchesca Baranski? This smart-mouthed girl from Brooklyn may just be his downfall. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Natalie Duke.

  The Opposite of You: Opposites Attract Series, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 648min

  I've sworn off men. All men. Famous last words, right? You're expecting some epic tale of reluctant love and my dramatic change of heart? Well, you're not going to get it. I'm stubborn. And headstrong. And I've just survived the worst three years of my life. After escaping an abusive boyfriend to live in hostels and cheap hotels while I worked my way across Europe, I've come to two conclusions. The first? Now that I'm back home, I'm going to squander my expensive culinary degree on a food truck that caters to the late night drunk crowd. The second? I'm going to prove to the bastard across the plaza that my street food is better than his fussy five course monstrosities. Killian Quinn might be Food and Wine's Chef to Watch Out For. He might have a Michelin Star. He might have every food critic in the city wrapped around his too-large fingers. But he's also pretentious and unbearably arrogant and the very opposite of me. So he can keep his unsolicited advice and his late night visits and his cocky smiles. I want none of it. Or him. I want the opposite. Contains mature themes. ungekürzt. Language: English.

  The Great American Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 386min

  I took the time to write a whole book, and where do you start? The back cover. Are we living in Israel? That's not the way people read. It's okay. We knew you'd do that, and the debate we had on what to put back here was arduous. Reviews? You need a pretentious review? Fine."Keith Malley stands out as a new, fresh, leading author with honest talk and a smart style. Seriously: Arduous? Brilliant!" ()We thought about a picture for the back. A nice snowman. Who doesn't like snowmen? Maybe a black snowman. It grabs your attention. Then we heard how much more we'd have to pay the artist for a back cover. I tried to explain that it wasn't a separate cover he was making, but rather an extension of the same front cover we agreed on. No dice. Boo that ess. So, instead, do me a favor and just think of your favorite album cover. Let's pretend I chose that. Now that you see everything you like in a back cover, go buy the book. Seriously, think about the last few things you spent your money on. I have to impress you? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Keith Malley.

  Grilling Techniques for the Home Chef: Mastering the Grill , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 22min

  There is perhaps no more basic way to cook than grilling. With the simple necessary elements of food and fire, almost anyone can set up a respectable BBQ meal for family and friends. Grilling doesn't require fancy cooking techniques or pretentious ingredients, either, nor does it require a state-of-the-art BBQ or a full knowledge of spices. Instead, grilling is all about keeping it simple. Before you start grilling: You don't need to be concerned with getting exotic or rare ingredients to cook a great meal on the grill, but it does help if you make sure that what you're cooking with is fresh. Pay attention to the overall freshness of even the most basic ingredients. It may take a little extra time in the supermarket or at the farmer's market to ensure that freshness is in order. Buy fresh meat whenever possible and use vegetables that are crisp and colorful. You won't regret using the freshest ingredients possible on the grill. Grilling Techniques for the Home Chef will allow you to seriously master grilling and become a five-star grilling chef. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Maren McGuire.

  Heart of the Ocean , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 625min

  In Heather B. Moore's enthralling 1840's historical romance, Heart of the Ocean, Eliza Robinson has turned down the very pretentious Mr. Thomas Beesley's marriage proposal. As a business partner of Eliza's father, Thomas quickly discredits the family and brings disgrace to the Robinson name. While her father scrambles to restore his good name in New York City, Eliza flees to the remote Puritan town of Maybrook to stay with her Aunt Maeve. Although relieved to be away from all- things-male and unforgiving gossip columns, odd things start to happen to Eliza, and she is plagued by a ghostly voice. Her aunt's explanation? That Eliza is being haunted by a woman who died of a broken heart twenty years ago. After Aunt Maeve is tragically killed, Eliza's life is put in danger as she tries to uncover the mystery of her aunt's death. She encounters Jonathan Porter in Maybrook, whose presence in the town seems suspicious, yet she finds herself drawn to him. When she discovers that Jonathan's dark secrets may be the link between the dead woman who haunts her and her aunt's murderer, Eliza realizes that Jonathan is the one man she should never trust. ungekürzt.

  Shitty Bosses and Asshole Employees: Don't Read This Book! , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 300min

  The long and short of it: I. Loved. This. It’s insightful, useful, funny, and incredibly easy to relate to. The audience is distanced in the intro and then pulled into the fold in a unique and engaging way. I love the “tough-love” approach; this audiobook takes a hard, honest look at what people can do to change, what best practices and methods are, and what a toxic work environment looks like. Importantly, it refuses to let the listener bypass recognizing their own flaws and weak points, but it also doesn’t make the listener feel alienated or judged for not being perfect.Gold nuggets of wisdom are liberally sprinkled throughout, and I wanted to scoop up every single one because:I really came to like and be engaged with the author’s voice and personaI genuinely felt I was learning life lessons in a way that wasn’t condescending, pretentious, or tedious.The "personal story" touch followed by the psychological breakdown (with examples and questions, no less!) is a really awesome way to get the listener really thinking, processing, and engaged. This audiobook creates space for the listener to feel “in it together” with the author and results in the listener doubling-down on the effort to understand and retain the message. ungekürzt.
