    A Modest Proposal , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 554min
    A Modest Proposal for Preventing the Children of Poor People in Ireland From Being a Burden to Their Parents or Country, and for Making Them Beneficial to the Public, commonly referred to as A Modest Proposal, is a Juvenalian satirical essay written and published anonymously by Jonathan Swift in 1729. Swift suggests in his essay that the impoverished Irish might ease their economic troubles by selling children as food for rich gentlemen and ladies. By doing this he mocks the authority of the British officials. A Modest Proposal is included in many literature programs as an example of early modern western satire. It also serves as an exceptional introduction to the concept and use of argumentative language, lending itself well to secondary and post-secondary essay courses. Outside of the realm of English studies, A Modest Proposal is a relevant piece included in many comparative and global literature and history courses, as well as those of numerous other disciplines in the arts, humanities, and even the social sciences. ungekürzt.

    The Hellion: Wicked Wallflowers, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 552min
    USA Today bestselling author Christi Caldwell’s Wicked Wallflowers series burns hot as two rivals meet in the flesh and feel the heat... Adair Thorne has just watched his gaming-hell dream disappear into a blaze of fire and ash, and he’s certain that his competitors, the Killorans, are behind it. His fury and passion burn even hotter when he meets Cleopatra Killoran, a tart-mouthed vixen who mocks him at every turn. If she were anyone else but the enemy, she’d ignite a desire in him that would be impossible to control. No one can make Cleopatra do anything. That said, she’ll do whatever it takes to protect her siblings - even if that means being sponsored by their rivals for a season in order to land a noble husband. But she will not allow her head to be turned by the infuriating and darkly handsome Adair Thorne. There’s only one thing that threatens the rules of the game: Cleopatra’s secret. It could unravel the families’ tenuous truce and shatter the unpredictably sinful romance mounting between the hellion…and a scoundrel who could pass for the devil himself. ungekürzt.

    The Gift: The Prairie State Friends, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 656min
    Not everyone thinks Leah has a gift.... Leah Mast and her family have always considered her to have a healing touch and a special gift for reflexology - treating people's ailments by massaging certain places on their feet. But others scoff at the notion, saying the very idea of curing people through their feet is absurd. Adam Beachy is one of those scoffers, even though his own mother used to practice reflexology. And then she left the Amish faith and walked out on her family, leaving Adam's father to raise Adam and his sister alone. Now Adam mocks reflexology and balks at the idea of ever marrying and starting a family of his own. When tragedy strikes, Adam is suddenly a father figure to his nieces. Adam finds himself needing a wife - immediately. Despite their differences, Leah seems the best option to fill that role. Can they hope to find peace and love in a modern-day marriage of convenience?

    Bombshell, Hörbuch, Digital, 35min
    This girl's got sass. After questioning a silent audience member at Mottley's Comedy Club in Boston who Kelly MacFarland presumed was questioning her running regimen: "I lost weight a few years ago, and then I was hungry and I was like 'F--k this, I need a cake!" Awarded Best of the Fest at the 2010 Aspen Rooftop Comedy Festival, MacFarland's debut album, Bombshell is the result of that win. And she still feels victorious here. Instead of worrying about her weight or how she looks when she runs in "One Sports Bra," MacFarland mocks "The Tinys" and their women whose behavior is annoying, dumb and unnatural. Her lengthiest bit covers two tracks near the end of her set in which he discusses how sneezing is different for dumb girls than for normal people, or even for herself. There's nothing particularly topical discussed on Bombshell, so the material never will become outdated. She's very charismatic and audiences easily love and root for her. Bombshell offers 19 tracks, plus two bonus tracks in which MacFarland pauses to find out more about specific audience members. Language: English. Narrator: Kelly MacFarland.

    Scandalous Witness: A Little Political Manifesto for Christians , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 367min
    Fifteen propositions for changing Christianity in AmericaChristian identity is in moral and political crisis. Lee Camp writes “that one major reason Christianity in America has been made into a bad public joke is our failure to rightly understand what Christianity is.” Scandalous Witness provides a way forward. Although refusing to reduce Christianity to any partisan agenda, he reminds us that the gospel is inherently political and that we are called to be political witnesses. Camp’s provocative diagnosis is that “American hope” is a bastardized form of Christian hope. The United States is not the hope of the world nor is it a Christian nation. Rather, “American Christian values” corrupts Christianity, and partisanship mocks the true scandal of the gospel. Camp reminds us that all empires fall. By conceiving Christianity as a politic instead of a religion, we may begin to take seriously the true scandal of the gospel. We may envision new possibilities by which our gospel practices make a new world possible. Offering a robust vision of a Christian politic that exposes modern parodies of faith, Camp mixes wit, charm, and logic, challenging Christians to rethink who they are and how they participate in the modern world. ungekürzt.

    From USA Today best-selling author Gin Jones....Helen Binney is frustrated with the challenges of her lupus and is desperate to hit something - anything! So what better place to go than a martial arts studio owned by a friend?

She learns that the woman owned a bed & breakfast, and wasn't very good at making friends. Murder suspects abound, with several ex-boyfriends, mistreated employees at her B&B, a competing B&B operator, and a romantic rival. And the murder isn't the only mystery in Helen's life. Her handsome ex-lawyer Tate seems to be withdrawing from their newly personal relationship, and she can't get him to tell her what's wrong.

    Forever Soldiers: The Tyrus Chronicle, Book 4 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 850min
    War defines his past. Living haunts his present. Peace mocks his future. Months have passed since Tyrus ended a decade of war between Turine and Genesha by destroying the Geneshan's sorcerous artifact. He had hoped that taking his family south would grant him the peace he desired, but even in the Southern Kingdoms, war welcomes him instead. Ava strikes a deal with the Southern Kingdom leaders to protect her brother, taking his place in their fight to protect their lands from invading forces. Having spent her adult life entrenched in battle, Ava doesn't hold any illusions as to what awaits her. A new land, a new language, and new obstacles reinforce what she already knows - nothing in life is easy. Her men, an entire nation, and, most of all, her family, depends on her success. Without a call of war to answer, Tyrus leads his group of settlers to their new town, taking on the role of mayor with the skills he has honed for more than a decade - assess, prioritize, plan, execute. When memories of the past begin to cloud his judgement, he is forced into a new kind of war. One he doesn't know he can or wants to fight. Once a solider, forever a soldier. Forever Soldiers is the final book in the military fantasy series The Tyrus Chronicle. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Steven Brand.
