    Lost in a Dream , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 539min
    For most people, sleeping is an obstacle; something to get out of the way so they can get back to their day. For others, it’s an escape to nothing; a blissful break from the wears of life.It’s the opposite for me.I live so that I can dream. I trudge through work so that I can go home and close my eyes, awakening in the real world - one where dreams really do come true. A place where I can fight a king instead of my ever-disappointed boss, where I’m a warrior instead of a glorified telemarketer. A place where I matter.Tigers instead of taxes. Monsters instead of men with too much power. Reality is just the word we came up with to accept a boring life; a birthing place for grander ideas we so desperately wish could come true.I choose to live in a world where they do.Lost in a Dream is an adult fiction in the vein of Ready Player One, but with fantasy elements in place of sci-fi. It is a bold and unique novel that has something for you to love whether you are an avid fan of literary fiction, fantasy, light romance, or GameLit. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Three Signs of a Miserable Job: A Fable for Managers (and their employees) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 295min
    In his sixth fable, best-selling author Patrick Lencioni takes on a topic that almost everyone can relate to: the causes of a miserable job. Millions of workers, even those who have carefully chosen careers based on true passions and interests, dread going to work, suffering each day as they trudge to jobs that make them cynical, weary, and frustrated. It is a simple fact of business life that any job, from investment banker to dishwasher, can become miserable. Through the story of a CEO turned pizzeria manager, Lencioni reveals the three elements that make work miserable: irrelevance, immeasurability, and anonymity. And he gives managers and their employees the keys to make any job more fulfilling. As with all of Lencioni's books, this one is filled with actionable advice you can put into effect immediately. In addition to the fable, the book includes a detailed model examining the three signs of job misery and how they can be remedied. It covers the benefits of managing for job fulfillment within organizations, increased productivity, greater retention, and competitive advantage, and it offers examples of how managers can use the applications in the book to deal with specific jobs and situations. ungekürzt.

    Desperation Road , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 468min
    In the vein of Daniel Woodrell's Winter's Bone and the works of Ron Rash, a novel set in a tough-and-tumble Mississippi town where drugs, whiskey, guns, and the desire for revenge violently intersect. For 11 years the clock has been ticking for Russell Gaines as he sits in Parchman Penitentiary in the Mississippi Delta. His sentence is now up, and he believes his debt has been paid. But when he returns home, he soon discovers that revenge lives and breathes all around him. On the same day that Russell is released from prison, a woman named Maben and her young daughter trudge along the side of the interstate under the punishing summer sun. Desperate and exhausted, the pair spend their last dollar on a room for the night, a night that ends with Maben running through the darkness holding a pistol, and a dead deputy sprawled in the middle of the road in the glow of his own headlights. With the dawn, destinies collide, and Russell is forced to decide whose life he will save - his own or the lives of the woman and child. Delivered in powerful and lyrical prose, Desperation Road is a story of troubled souls twisted with regret and bound by secrets that stretch over the years and across the land. ungekürzt.

    Reagan's Ashes , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 489min
    Reagan Darby crams her dad's urn into an overflowing backpack. His last wish: deliver the urn to Rocky Mountain National Park and release his ashes into Lake Nanita. To find closure, she'll hike the same route they completed after her latest involuntary stay at the hospital. But not alone, as she'd hoped. Her cousin Dalton surprises her at the trailhead and insists on tagging along. Soon, his eerie stares and half-volume mutterings set her on edge. As they trudge further into the mountains, dodging moose and lightning strikes, she catches him rifling through her backpack multiple times. She confronts him, but he shrugs it off. His claims that he came along for support wear thin, but she's too deep into the park simply to turn around. When Reagan discovers a hidden compartment in the lid of the urn, a tiny silver key tumbles onto the floor of her tent. But there's no telling what lock the key might open. More unsettling, however, is that her lithium has gone missing. With only a meager Swiss Army knife for protection, she'll have to fend off her cousin, resist the creeping mania, and escape the forest to find the lock. If the man Dalton works for locates it first, he'll reduce Reagan to the same pile of dust and ash. Reagan's Ashes combines wilderness survival thriller with amateur sleuth mystery. ungekürzt.

They have the ability to enter this city of the damned, but with powers greater than even a fallen angel. They’re angels themselves now - infernal angels.

    Gimme Some Sugar , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 488min
    Lucy Bowman would never have guessed that her best friend, Duffy McCready (of McCready’s Bait Shop & Funeral Home) has been in love with her since they were kids. Fear of rejection and his own romantic complications prevented Duffy from confessing his true feelings in high school, so he stood by and watched her wed Wayne Garten right after high school. Wayne had always been a cheapskate, so it comes as no surprise when he suffers a fatal accident while fixing his own truck. Even as her family and friends invade Lucy’s life and insist that the new widow is too fragile to do much beyond weeping, Lucy is ashamed to admit that life without Wayne is easier, less complicated. After all, no one knew what a relentless, soul-grinding trudge marriage to Wayne had been. Only Duffy can tell she’s hiding something. In need of a fresh start, Lucy asks Duffy to put his cabinet-building skills to use, transforming the town's meat shop into a bake shop. As the bakery takes shape, Lucy and Duffy discover the spark that pulled them together so many years ago. Could this finally be the second chance he’s always hoped for? Once again Molly Harper “writes characters you can’t help but fall in love with” (RT Book Reviews) in this charming and entertaining love story. ungekürzt.

    The Grief Chronicles: With You in My Eyes Like Flaming Flowers: A Survivors Guide to Death by Overdose , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 93min
    A survivor's guide to death from overdose. This is the story of one mother's grief recovery after her 32-year-old daughter died from a heroin overdose in 2009. In the author's words: "So perhaps you thought this was going to be a tale of how I traveled to some exotic land, how I left everything behind, and how I met fellow travelers on some road to Zanzibar to recover from my grief. Perhaps you thought this was going to be a story of redemption, of how I lost myself in booze and then found myself on some street corner or dark alley, and then got my life back together again. No, rather this is the story of how I went deep inside myself and found a reservoir of strength in my day to day existence, in the small motions and rituals of ordinary life. For many of us do not have the luxury of 'leaving it all behind'. We must move forward, inch by inch, increment by increment, waking up each day to face a world that seems so empty to us now, climbing an internal mountain every single day - an epic mountain, taller than Mt. Everest, a mountain that the outside world cannot view. So to you, fellow grief travelers, I say, be tough in your own little way. Pull on your sturdy grief knapsack with all the sturdy grief supplies in it, ropes and pulleys, and trudge your way up the grief mountain. Because I'll be waiting for you at the top." ungekürzt.

    Tongue of Silver: A Dead Man's Deal , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 439min
    Most people have to work for years to achieve their ultimate goal. Be it wealth, status, or power, nothing comes in a single day. For Edison Elder, this couldn’t be farther from the truth. On the night of his Awakening, Edison was originally delighted to discover that he was chosen by the Beings, a mysterious race of all-powerful and inquisitive creatures, to form a Deal and become a Player. Becoming a Player would allow him to take part in the Game, a solution imposed by the Beings to stop wars, and bring his family out of poverty. However, his joyous moment was ripped from his hands as the Being offers him an ultimatum: extreme power in exchange for his own death. Faced with the prospect of hard labor for the rest of his life or his own death, Edison chooses the third option. He completes his Deal, but now he needs to face the consequences. An innocent is dead, the king is in a panic, and Edison finds himself permanently crippled. Edison, along with Ralph and Anna, his newly formed team of Players, need to travel across the kingdom and discover who killed the prince. However, someone is manipulating them from behind the scenes, and Edison’s powers prove to be far more sinister than he had ever expected. As the group trudge onwards in their quest, they will need to deal with not only the growing enemies Edison leaves in his wake, but also his unfortunately timed sense of morality. ungekürzt.
