    Thrill of the Chase , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 521min
    “Second place is the first loser” according to Sarah Matell, a heroine who wants nothing more than to wrench on cars and race with the guys. As a talented technician in her father’s automotive speed shop, she’s a whiz at tuning race engines. Winning races also comes easily to her. What isn’t easy is winning Craig Keller, local drag race hero. He only has eyes for gorgeous women who are hot in the sack, not grubby tomboys who are fast on the track. Sarah’s world gets an overhaul when her father hires Gordon Devine. The buttoned-up businessman yanks control of the shop from Sarah, a girl he considers spoiled and irresponsible. The poised professional’s stubbornness matches Sarah’s own, but surprisingly, so does his skill under the hood of a racecar. Soon she’s torn not only between two men she wants, but between the drag race winner she is and the more commonplace woman she feels pressured to become. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Where Shall We Run To?: A Memoir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 185min
    From one of our greatest living writers comes a remarkable memoir of a forgotten England.'The war went. We sang in the playground, "Bikini lagoon, an atom bomb’s boom, and two big explosions". David’s father came back from Burma and didn’t eat rice. Twiggy taught by reciting “The Pied Piper of Hamelin”, “The Charge of the Light Brigade” and the 13 times table. Twiggy was fat and short and he shouted, and his neck was as wide as his head. He was a bully, though he didn’t take any notice of me.’In Where Shall We Run To?, Alan Garner remembers his early childhood in the Cheshire village of Alderley Edge: life at the village school as ‘a sissy and a mardy-arse'; pushing his friend Harold into a clump of nettles to test the truth of dock leaves; his father joining the army to guard the family against Hitler; the coming of the Yanks, with their comics and sweets and chewing gum. From one of our greatest living writers, it is a remarkable and evocative memoir of a vanished England. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Robert Powell.

    Pigs at the Trough: How Corporate Greed and Political Corruption Are Undermining America, Hörbuch, Digital, 394min
    Who filled the trough? Who set the table at the banquet of greed? How has it been possible for corporate pigs to gorge themselves on grossly inflated pay packages and heaping helpings of stock options while the average American struggles to make due with their leftovers? Provocative political commentator Arianna Huffington yanks back the curtain on the unholy alliance of CEOs, politicians, lobbyists, and Wall Street bankers who have shown a brutal disregard for those in office cubicles and on factory floors. The media have put their fingers on pieces of the sordid puzzle, but Pigs at the Trough presents the whole ugly picture of what's really going on for the first time: a blistering, wickedly witty portrait of exactly how and why the worst and the greediest are running American business and government into the ground. Arianna Huffington turns the spotlight on the tough reforms we must demand from Washington to stop the voracious corporate predators from eating away at the very foundations of our democracy. Devastatingly funny and powerfully indicting, Pigs at the Trough is a rousing call to arms and essential listening for all those who are outraged by the scandalous state of corporate America.

    Transformed: POTUS , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 437min
    In this hilarious, fast-paced romantic suspense, the first post-Trump president is a sex addict who likes to hang in Vegas on the weekends and pick up women. He also has a tendency to misplace the nuclear "biscuit" of gold codes he’s meant to carry at all times. Which has obvious security issues, especially when it’s discovered a bad actor is about to infiltrate POTUS' inner circle. The CIA calls in Charley, a charismatic trans-man spy, to use his intuitive skills to vet everyone around POTUS, including his harem. Which is fine, until the president's biscuit goes missing once again. Simultaneously, Charley's charismatic ex-lover suddenly appears and becomes a key suspect. Meanwhile, Charley is trying to marry his fiancée on one of her few weekends off from CIA training camp, 2,000 miles away. When POTUS finds out that Charley’s fiancée is Electra, the world-famous Society Dom, he yanks her out of training so he can have sessions with her in Vegas. Does Charley seriously have to surrender his fiancée to POTUS as he struggles to find the infiltrator? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sharon Eisenhauer.

    An Owl Too Many: Peter & Helen Shandy, Book 8 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 464min
    When a nocturnal hike turns deadly, Professor Peter Shandy takes an interest in owl spotting Emory Emmerick comes to Balaclava Agricultural University as a scout for a television station. Although the faculty and students are hardly ready for prime time, Emmerick’s interest is in environmental programming - a subject that inspires even the driest Balaclava professor to wax poetic. In his search for material, Emmerick joins Peter Shandy and a few of his colleagues on the annual owl-count. And though the television producer’s loud mouth and heavy feet make him a dismal birdwatcher, none of the academics expect him to make a fatal blunder. Chasing what appears to be a badly lost snowy owl, Emmerick stumbles into a trap that yanks him into a tree. By the time the professors reach him, he’s been stabbed to death. Discovering that the snowy owl was nothing more than a handful of feathers attached to a fishing pole, Shandy concludes that Emmerick was murdered. Plenty of people might like to kill a television producer, but which would-be killer had the gall to make the helpless Nyctea scandiaca an accomplice? ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Damn Yankees: Twenty-Four Major League Writers on the World's Most Loved (and Hated) Team , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 487min
    Love them or hate them, the New York Yankees have been an American institution for nearly a century. With their rich history and colorful cast of characters, the Yankees never fail to inspire or provoke. In this exciting compendium, some of today's most acclaimed writers - including Pete Dexter, Colum McCann, Roy Blount, Jr., Dan Barry, Jane Leavy, Charles P. Pierce, J. R. Moehringer, Daniel Okrent, Frank Deford, Bill James, and many more - step up to the plate to take their cuts. The result is a collection of original essays as idiosyncratic and expansive as the team that has inspired them: ruminations on Babe Ruth's gravestone, Derek Jeter's swing, and the upper-deck vantage of the Oldest Living Yankee; dual allegiances; mortal rivalries; and every other subject that spans from the hilarious (the Yankee wife-swap of the '70s) to the sublime (the grace of Catfish Hunter). Superbly written, deeply insightful, and full of both passion and humor, Damn Yankees is a completely fresh look at baseball's most enduring franchise by a Murderers' Row of writers as stacked as that of the 1927 Yanks. ungekürzt.
