Perfect for fans of I'll Give You the Sun and Girl in Pieces. Ruth, Magda, and Isabel are different from everyone else.

They know that below the surface, each house is filled with secrets, indifference, and violence. These girls refuse to become willing participants of these fake lives. Instead they are determined to fight every condescending comment, every unwelcome touch, and every lie they've been told. When the opportunity to commit the perfect crime appears, the girls finally start to see their way out of Highbone. But for the first time, Ruth, Magda, and Isabel are keeping secrets from each other. As they drift apart, the weight of reality starts to set in. These girls can't save each other.

    Couplehood , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 183min
    Okay, you've decided to pick up my program, but you're not ready to commit. You're reading this copy, hoping to get a preview - a taste of what's to come before you plunk down actual cash. I respect that. I would do the same thing myself. But here's the problem: it's a screen. You can't describe a whole 3-hour long program on this screen - look how little space there is. I will tell you this, though: Couplehood is about all the stuff that's good and bad about being part of a couple. It's pretty funny. My wife laughed. You'll understand it because I wrote it specifically for you. (And I'm not just saying that.) The price is reasonable, especially if you compare it to what it would cost you to take time off from work and produce your own audiobook. Worse comes to worst, after you've listened you can say, "Well, it was kind of tedious, but I certainly enjoyed that copy on the screen." There does that help? ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Homo Deus
    NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERYuval Noah Harari, author of the critically-acclaimed New York Times bestseller and international phenomenon Sapiens, returns with an equally original, compelling, and provocative book, turning his focus toward humanity's future, and our quest to upgrade humans into gods.Over the past century humankind has managed to do the impossible and rein in famine, plague, and war. This may seem hard to accept, but, as Harari explains in his trademark style-thorough, yet riveting-famine, plague and war have been transformed from incomprehensible and uncontrollable forces of nature into manageable challenges. For the first time ever, more people die from eating too much than from eating too little; more people die from old age than from infectious diseases; and more people commit suicide than are killed by soldiers, terrorists and criminals put together. The average American is a thousand times more likely to die from binging at McDonalds than from being blown up by Al Qaeda.What then will replace famine, plague, and war at the top of the human agenda? As the self-made gods of planet earth, what destinies will we set ourselves, and which quests will we undertake? Homo Deus explores the projects, dreams and nightmares that will shape the twenty-first century-from overcoming death to creating artificial life. It asks the fundamental questions: Where do we go from here? And how will we protect this fragile world from our own destructive powers? This is the next stage of evolution. This is Homo Deus.With the same insight and clarity that made Sapiens an international hit and a New York Times bestseller, Harari maps out our future.

    Riggs (Arizona Vengeance, #11) (eBook, ePUB)
    Known as the team loner, Riggs Nadeau gives his all on the ice, but nothing extra off it. A beautiful stranger is about to cause chaos in his very structured world. As a professional hockey player, people think I live a charmed life. On the surface, I do. But they don't know the horrors of my childhood, or the real reason that I have custody of my seventeen-year-old sister, Janelle. And that's exactly the way I like it. They may think I'm a prick because I don't like to share, but that's fine. They don't know me, and they don't need to. In an effort to help Janelle get settled in Phoenix and stay out of trouble at school, I set her up with a job at Clarke's Corner, the local bookstore owned by the girlfriend of a teammate. It's there that she makes friends with Veronica Woodley, the extremely annoying, arrogant, money-hungry divorcee who I don't want anywhere near my sister. Janelle insists I'm completely wrong about Veronica, but I refuse to accept that. I have to keep reminding myself that that the gorgeous blond with legs for days is off limits. Through a series of events, I start to see Veronica for what she really is-an amazing woman who has survived her own hell to come out even stronger. I have to admit, we're more alike than not and the attraction between us burns hot. Maybe I was all wrong about my ability to love and commit, but when the past comes back to haunt me, can I be the man that Veronica, and Janelle, deserve?

    Blind Owl (eBook, ePUB)
    A new English translation of arguably the most famous twentieth century Persian novel A Penguin Classic Written by one of the greatest Iranian writers of the twentieth century, Blind Owl tells a three-part story of a pen-case painter, an isolated narrator with a fragile relationship with time and reality. In part one, he relates his own story in the first person, in a string of hazy, dreamlike recollections fueled by opium and alcohol. He spends time painting the covers of pen cases only to paint the exact same scene: an old man wearing a cape and turban sitting under a cypress tree, separated by a small stream from a beautiful woman in black who is bending down to offer him a waterlily. The novel transitions to a one-page part two where reader find the narrator covered in blood and waiting for the police to arrest him. Part three gives readers a glimpse into the grim realities that unlock the mysteries of the first part. Influenced by European writers like Kafka and de Maupassant, Hedayat also reveals a strong affinity with Dostoevsky. The protagonist of Blind Owl suffers from the brain fever characteristic of many of Dostoevsky's heroes such as Crime and Punishment's Raskolnikov. Both characters are also isolated in a tomb-like room, surrounded by deafening echoes of disturbed thoughts. Both are guilty of a horrible crime and paranoid of being arrested by the police at any moment. But whereas Raskolnikov has intellectually convinced himself that he must commit the crime for the greater good, the pen-case painter acts on instinct and seems oddly unaware of what he has done.

    Spartan Up!: A Take-No-Prisoners Guide to Overcoming Obstacles and Achieving Peak Performance in Life
    Joe De Sena, one of the founding creators of Spartan Races, sounds the alarm of how soft and weak we've become through modern living. Spartan Up! is a call to arms, motivating readers to take action in their lives through inspiring stories and practical advice. What do marathoners do when 26.2 miles just isn't enough anymore? They try obstacle racing, combining the endurance challenges of a marathon with the mind- and body-bending rigors of overcoming obstacles along the way. At the heart of this phenomenon is Joe De Sena, the driving force behind the Spartan Race. De Sena overcame his own obstacles—working his way from Queens to Wall Street to legendary extreme athlete—by adhering to a simple philosophy: commit to a goal, put in the work, and get it done. From that philosophy, as played out now for millions across trails, through mud, and up mountainsides, the Spartan Race was born. Filled with unforgettable stories of Spartan racers as well as hard-won truths learned along the course, Spartan Up! will help you reach your full potential in whatever you set out to do. "A must-read for anyone looking to take his performance to the next level, be it in athletics or in life."—Dean Karnazes, author of Ultra Marathon Man "If there's anyone out there who has taken extreme to a new level, its Joe De Sena—in adventure racing, in business, and ultimately in the business of adventure! Spartan Up! is a must-read."—Robyn Benincasa, world champion adventure racer and New York Times best-selling author of How Winning Works
