Kickoff
Zoey needs a fake boyfriend. I need a babysitter. We sure as hell don't have time for feelings to get in the way. I used to be the top college soccer player in the nation. Now I'm parenting my little sister and trying to survive my first year in grad school. I'm supposed to be Responsible Alex, and that comes with a strict set of rules: no drugs, no drinking, no sex. When Zoey asks me to be her fake boyfriend to make her ex jealous, I know I shouldn't say yes. It's unprofessional. I'm her ex's TA. But Zoey's the most stubborn, hard-working person I know-she won't give up. So I agree on one condition: she babysits my little sister so I can go to soccer practice. On every fake date I get to touch her. Kiss her. Flirt with her. It's making me want to break my rules. But she's become my best friend. She's hung up on her ex. And I've been keeping secrets about my past. This is never going to work.- Shop: buecher

It Won't Be Easy: An Exceedingly Honest (And Slightly Unprofessional) Love Letter to Teaching , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 347min
Tom Rademacher wishes someone had handed him this sort of book along with his teaching degree: a clear-eyed, frank, boots-on-the ground account of what he was getting into. But first he had to write it. And as 2014's Minnesota Teacher of the Year, Rademacher knows what he's talking about. Less a how-to manual than a tribute to an impossible and impossibly rewarding profession, It Won't Be Easy captures the experience of teaching in all its messy glory. The book follows a year of teaching, with each chapter tackling a different aspect of the job. Pulling no punches (and resisting no punch lines), he writes about establishing yourself in a new building; teaching meaningful classes, keeping students a priority; investigating how race, gender, and identity affect your work; and why it's a good idea to keep an extra pair of pants at school. Along the way he answers the inevitable and the unanticipated questions, from what to do with Google to how to tell if you're really a terrible teacher, to why "Keep your head down" might well be the worst advice for a new teacher. Though directed at prospective and newer teachers, It Won't Be Easy is mercifully short on jargon and long on practical wisdom, accessible to anyone - teacher, student, parent, pundit - who is interested in a behind-the-curtain look at teaching and willing to understand that, while there are no simple answers, there is power in learning to ask the right questions. ungekürzt.

Haunted Asylums: True Horror Stories from the Last 200 Years: Entering Abandoned Orphanages, Hospitals & Mental Asylums , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 86min
Most people are in agreement that when we die, we hope that our spirits, our very souls, will carry on to a better place, beyond human comprehension. This mentality, this desire, has been a basic belief of mankind for thousands upon thousands of years. And yet, if this is true, then why are certain places riddled with spirits? While hundreds of people die every single day, most of them do not fit into this established criterion. But when one considers the often unsanitary, unprofessional and inhumane practices that were often commonplace in insane asylums, hospitals and orphanages during the 19th and 20th centuries, it is actually quite easy to understand why so many of these facilities are now considered to be riddled with paranormal activity. From disembodied voices, to full-fledged apparitions, the orphanages, psychiatric hospitals and insane asylums listed in this book all have one thing in common: a dark history. Come explore the dark corners of these places. Once you do, you'll know why so many tormented souls still linger amidst their abandoned halls. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dave Wright.

Cover Up: Toronto Tales, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 494min
The Sequel to Cop Out Detective Ivan Bekker has hit rock bottom. Not only is he recovering from a bad breakup with a cheating boyfriend, he's also involved in a drug bust gone bad. Ivan had to kill a man, and his friend was shot and is now fighting for his life. Though Ivan is under investigation for his part in the shooting, his boss sends him on an off-the-books undercover operation to close the case. The timing is critical - this could be their chance to plug a leak in the department. Off-balance and without backup, Ivan finds himself playing a recent divorce and becoming Parker Wakefield's roommate. He finds it hard to believe that sweet Parker could possibly be a criminal, much less have ties to a Russian mafia drug-trafficking operation, and Ivan lets down his guard. His affection is unprofessional, but Parker is irresistible. When Ivan comes across clear evidence of Parker's criminal involvement, he has to choose: protect their relationship, regardless of the consequences, or save his career and arrest the man he loves. ungekürzt.
