If you enjoyed The Flatshare, you will love Lease on Love!' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ reader review 'I don't think I have ever been in love with a book more than I am in love with Lease on Love' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ reader review A fun, heart-warming light heated read. Highly enjoyable, and I can't wait to see what the talented Falon comes up with next' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ reader review Beach Read meets The Flatshare in this warmly funny and delightfully sharp rom-com about a down-on-her-luck young woman who turns an innocent mix-up between a dating app and a roommate app into a new chance at love. ................................................................................ She wasn't looking for love until it landed on her doorstep. Sadie's looking for a fresh start. After missing out on an overdue promotion, she drunkenly re-opens a long-ignored dating app and, two days later, finds herself on a date with Jack. Except it isn't a date. Realizing that she mistakenly matched with Jack on a roommate-finding app, Sadie prepares to make a hasty exit, only to finally notice the gorgeous Brooklyn brownstone that Jack is advertising . . . and the unbelievably cheap rent.

But he offers Sadie his spare bedroom while she gets back on her feet, and Sadie, recognizing that her dreams of starting her own florist business might now finally be possible, accepts. As Sadie's presence starts to turn the brownstone into a real home, and Jack learns to come out of his shell, they both begin to wonder if this accidental roommate arrangement is the best deal they ever made. ................................................................................

    Raining Cats & Dogs: A Melanie Travis Mystery , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 414min
    Melanie Travis has her hands full these days, what with adding a husband and three more dogs to her already cramped home. The advanced obedience training for her dog Faith is a welcome respite from the stresses of house hunting - until murder forces Melanie to the head of the class. Even amidst the chaos, Melanie somehow manages to eke out a bit of time to get Faith enrolled in "school". The South Avenue Obedience Club looks like fun, even if there are enough sexual and political undercurrents in the group to power a small generator. Melanie is especially eager to bring Faith to the program at the Winston Pumpernill Nursing Home. Club member Paul Lennox initiated the outings to please his Great Aunt Mary, and since many of the other residents are also dog lovers, the trips are now a treasured tradition. Melanie and Faith are warmly welcomed at the home, but their very first visit ends in tragedy when Aunt Mary is found suffocated in her bed. There's no shortage of suspects - from the wealthy victim's ne'er-do-well son to the staff to the secret-laden club members themselves, there's motive and opportunity aplenty. All Melanie has to do is follow the trail - and watch her back. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jessica Almasy.

    Volcanic Airs: A Mountjoy Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 707min
    Where would you rather be? Lonely and fog-bound in an ancient English castle... or sitting under the stars with friends on a magical Mediterranean island? Magdalena Mountjoy, furious with her impossible husband, the rakish Valdemar, doesn't hesitate when she has the chance to run away to Aeolus, a jewel of an island off the coast of Sicily. Yet every Eden has its serpent. As friends and relations arrive to share the bliss, fleeing from their own problems with life and love, Magdalena begins to wish herself back at Mountjoy Castle. Meanwhile Dido, once a dancer and now a nanny, listens to her voices and foretells just where this complex dance of love and betrayal will end for her companions as they enjoy the idyll of an Italian summer. Love conquers all - but will it this time? An irreverent and warmly witty look at marriage, relationships - and love. Escape into another world and delight in the lives of a host of fascinating characters. This is the England of Wodehouse and Downton Abbey, where wickedness and scandal lurk beneath the superb self-confidence of the upper classes.

    Benediction , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 38min
    Benediction tells the story of 19-year-old Lois, who spends an afternoon getting reacquainted with her 36-year-old brother, Keith, who is training to become a Jesuit priest. It opens with Lois sending a telegram to her love interest, Howard, whom we never meet, but who is anxious whether she will end their relationship or continue it by meeting with him the next day. As Keith and Lois get reacquainted, they discuss how Keith decided to become a priest and what it takes to be a good priest (one has to be sweet, but one also has to be hard), and then at a benediction service Lois has an unusual experience. In the end they part warmly, each of them feeling more clear and committed to their own independent life choices and vowing to remain more connected to one another in the future. A benediction is a blessing, and the novel blesses the divide between the lonely life of the clergy and the worldly life of the laity. Benediction offers the listener a vision of the alternative between the sacred and the secular and, through the characters of Lois and Kieth, what each hopes to get from the other. ungekürzt.

    Three Floors Up , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 553min
    Set in an upper-middle-class Tel Aviv apartment building, this best-selling and warmly acclaimed Israeli novel examines the interconnected lives of its residents, whose turmoils, secrets, unreliable confessions, and problematic decisions reveal a society in the midst of an identity crisis. On the first floor, Arnon, a tormented retired officer who fought in the First Intifada, confesses to an army friend with a troubled military past how his obsession about his young daughter's safety led him to lose control and put his marriage in peril. Above Arnon lives Hani, known as "the widow", whose husband travels the world for his lucrative job while she stays at home with their two children, increasingly isolated and unstable. When her brother-in-law suddenly appears at their door begging her to hide him from loan sharks and the police, she agrees in spite of the risk to her family, if only to bring some emotional excitement into her life. On the top floor lives a former judge, Devora. Eager to start a new life in her retirement, Devora joins a social movement, desperately tries to reconnect with her estranged son, and falls in love with a man who isn't what he seems. ungekürzt.

    Bluegrass Baseball: A Year in the Minor League Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 440min
    Forget the steroid-addled, overpaid, and unmotivated players: America's pastime is still alive and well and is still the heartfelt sport it's always been...in the minor leagues. And nowhere is this truer than in Kentucky, whose rich baseball history continues to play out in the four teams profiled in this audiobook. Following these teams through the 2010 season - the triumphs, struggles, and big-league hopes and dreams - the book tells the larger story of baseball in America's smaller venues, where the game in its purest form is still valued and warmly embraced. The story begins before the season, with national anthem singing tryouts in Lexington, then tags along with players, staff, and fans at home, in the office, and on the field, offering a rare glimpse of the unglamorous reality of minor-league ball. From the front-office staff in Bowling Green planning kooky promotions to a trainer grocery shopping for a team on 40 dollars a day to a new wife coming to terms with her husband's transitory lifestyle to a father struggling to make it back to the majors and a Cuban defector blowing everyone away with a 100-plus mile per hour fastball, these are the people who live to make baseball happen in all its nitty-gritty glory. ungekürzt.

    Mad About Men: A Menmoir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 372min
    Mad About Men is: A (mostly) true, laugh-out-loud account of a successful executive single mother's search for love. "Racy, raw, sometimes vulgar, always hilarious," according to a guy in Chapter 32 who actually read it. An account of dating and sex from a liberated, confident, unapologetic MILF in her 40s. A warmly relatable story, even though it sounds like a sordid, lustful tale of promiscuity (which it also is, the author admits). Mad About Men is not: A self-help book about relationships. About a woman who finds herself after some extreme, soul-searching, incredible journey. A sticking-finger-in-throat sappy account of finding true love and living happily ever after. Only for women. Madelyn gains a new perspective on relationships after a series of major losses (some devastating, some not so much). Root for her as she entertains each potential suitor, and laugh with her (or at her) as she tries to make sense of what she wants, what men want, and what to do next. Whether or not you've ever swiped right, match'ed, or flirted with the flight attendant, you'll relate to Madelyn's search for love and (hot) sex - not necessarily in that order. Go ahead and judge her, she won't mind. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Madelyn Morgan. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/078628/bk_acx0_078628_sample.mp3.

    Guide to Methods for Students of Political Science (eBook, ePUB)
    "Stephen Van Evera's Guide to Methods makes an important contribution toward improving the use of case studies for theory development and testing in the social sciences. His trenchant and concise views on issues ranging from epistemology to specific research techniques manage to convey not only the methods but the ethos of research. This book is essential reading for social science students at all levels who aspire to conduct rigorous research."-Alexander L. George, Stanford University, and Andrew Bennett, Georgetown University"Van Evera has a keen awareness of the questions that arise in every phase of the political science research project-from initial conception to final presentation. Although others may not agree with all of his specific advice, all will appreciate his user-friendly introduction to what is sometimes seen as an abstract and difficult topic."-Timothy J. McKeown, University of North Carolina, Chapel HillFor the last few years, Stephen Van Evera has greeted new graduate students at MIT with a commonsense introduction to qualitative methods in the social sciences. His helpful hints, always warmly received, grew from a handful of memos to an underground classic primer. That primer has now evolved into a book of how-to information about graduate study, which is essential reading for graduate students and undergraduates in political science, sociology, anthropology, economics, and history-and for their advisers.

    Dandruff Hits The Turtleneck , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 37min
    From the moment pub landlord and keen amateur entomologist, Arnold Matson, arrives in Blinkington-on-the-Treacle to take over his new hostelry, the listener is guided superbly by one of Britain’s best-loved actresses, Prunella Scales, as she introduces local characters and intimately narrates her way through a colourful collection of vignettes and poignant flashbacks that are both comically funny and disturbingly familiar. Set in an imaginary backwater village, Dandruff dips delightfully into the intricacies and miniscule absurdities of everyday life. Author John Mayfield’s world blends originality with an amalgamation of Dylan Thomas, P. G. Wodehouse, G. K. Chesterton and Alan Bennett, and can accurately be described as ‘kite flying for the imagination’. John Mayfield was born in Sheffield, South Yorkshire and worked on over 2,000 audiobooks as a sound engineer and director in London for 10 years before moving to Ireland ‘to meet myself.’ He returned to the UK to form an Internet Radio Station dedicated to spoken word and, despite the fact he has written since the age of five, Dandruff on the Turtleneck is his first audio release. Prunella Scales is most warmly remembered for her role as Sybil in John Cleese’s classic Fawlty Towers, but her exceptional talent has created many other highly regarded roles in film, TV, and theatre ungekürzt.
