    Peeves , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 426min
    “Gremlins meets Inside Out in this sneaky parable about courage and self-control. Fun, funny, and surprisingly heartfelt." (Ernest Cline, author of Ready Player One) Steven (Slim) Pickings is on the edge of a breakdown - but then, it always feels like Slim is teetering on the edge of something. The difference this time is that something’s caused Slim’s worries to come alive!  He’s set loose a bunch of annoying, pesky, outrageously contagious creatures - and they’re infecting everyone they meet and massing to take over the town!  Slim’s problems began when he and his sister, Lucy, visited their dad's work and Slim was hit in in the face with an experimental medicine, a previously not-yet-human-tested anti-anxiety spray called Personal Vexation Zoners, PVZ. No one knew the side effects before, but certainly none of the experts imagined that the spray would cause anyone infected to literally sneeze out their biggest peeves.  Now Slim and the rest of the town are trailed by the things that annoy them most. Noisy Peeve, Lazy Peeve, Asking Peeve - they all stick with Slim at all times and left untreated, they’re quickly getting worse and way, way more destructive.  To stop them, Slim will have to do more than just team up with his family and friends - he’ll have to face his fears, literally.  Debut author and award-winning screenwriter Mike Van Waes brings original intelligence and wit to a magical coming-of-age story in Peeves, where you have to face your feelings before your feelings have faces. ungekürzt.

    The Ambassador's Wife: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 952min
    From a real-life ambassador's wife comes a harrowing novel about the kidnapping of an American woman in the Middle East and the heartbreaking choices she and her husband each must make in the hope of being reunited. When bohemian artist Miranda falls in love with Finn, the British ambassador to an Arab country, she finds herself thrust into a life for which she has no preparation. The couple and their toddler daughter live in a stately mansion with a staff to meet their every need, but for Miranda even this luxury comes at a price: the loss of freedom. Trailed everywhere by bodyguards to protect her from the dangers of a country wracked by civil war and forced to give up work she loves, she finds her world shattered when she is taken hostage, an act of terror with wide-reaching consequences. Diplomatic life is a far cry from Miranda's first years in Mazrooq, which were spent painting and mentoring a group of young Muslim women, teaching them to draw in ways forbidden in their culture. As the novel weaves together past and present, we come to see how Finn and Miranda's idealism and secrets they have each sought to hide have placed them and those who trust them in peril. And when Miranda grows close to a child who shares her captivity, it is not clear that even being set free would restore the simple happiness that once was hers and Finn's. Suspenseful and moving, The Ambassador's Wife is a story of love, marriage, and friendship tested by impossible choices. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Orlagh Cassidy, Euan Morton.

    Once upon a Time in Russia: The Rise of the Oligarchs and the Greatest Wealth in History , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 407min
    The best-selling author of Bringing Down the House (63 weeks on the New York Times best-seller list and the basis for the hit movie 21) and The Accidental Billionaires (the basis for the Academy Award-winning film The Social Network) delivers an epic drama of wealth, rivalry, and betrayal among megawealthy Russian oligarchs - and its international repercussions. Once Upon a Time in Russia is the untold true story of the larger-than-life billionaire oligarchs who surfed the waves of privatization to reap riches after the fall of the Soviet regime: "Godfather of the Kremlin" Boris Berezovsky, a former mathematician whose first entrepreneurial venture was running an automobile reselling business, and Roman Abramovich, his dashing young protégé, who built a multibillion-dollar empire of oil and aluminum. Locked in a complex, uniquely Russian partnership, Berezovsky and Abramovich battled their way through the "Wild East" of Russia, with Berezovsky acting as the younger man's krysha - his roof, his protector. Written with the heart-stopping pacing of a thriller - but even more compelling because it is true - this story of amassing obscene wealth and power depicts a rarefied world seldom seen up close. Under Berezovsky's krysha, Abramovich built one of Russia's largest oil companies from the ground up and in exchange made cash deliveries - including $491 million in just one year. But their relationship frayed when Berezovsky attacked President Vladimir Putin in the media - and had to flee to the UK. Abramovich continued to prosper. Dead bodies trailed Berezovsky's footsteps, and threats followed him to London, where an associate of his died painfully and famously of Polonium poisoning. Then Berezovsky himself was later found dead, declared a suicide. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jeremy Bobb.

    Rogue's Gallery, Vol. 1: The Classic Radio Collection, Hörbuch, Digital, 352min
    Rogue's Gallery was an old-time radio program starring Dick Powell as Richard Rogue, a private detective who trailed luscious blondes, protected witnesses, and did whatever else detectives do to make a living. What set this show apart from others in the genre was that midway through every episode, Rogue would invariably end up getting knocked out and spending his dream time in acerbic conversation on Cloud 8 with his subconscious self named Eugor - Rogue spelled backward. The presence of the alter ego served to give Rogue enough information for his final deduction. Eugor would appear cackling like the host of The Hermit's Cave while imparting some vital information our hero had overlooked. Rogue would then awaken with a vague idea of what to do next. Directed by Dee Englebach, with music by Leith Stevens, Rogue's Gallery employed radio's best supporting actors, including Lou Merrill, Gerald Mohr, Gloria Blondell, Tony Barrett, Lurene Tuttle, and Peter Leeds. Dick Powell left the series in 1946 and would later star in Richard Diamond, Private Detective. Rogue's Gallery continued on until 1952, starring Barry Sullivan and later Paul Stewart. Rogue's Gallery, Vol. 1 features the following 12 episodes: "Blondes Prefer Gentlemen" (10/18/1945); "Murder with Muriel" (10/25/1945); "Little Drops of Rain" (11/8/1945); "Lovely Little Old Lady" (11/29/1945); "Triangle of Death" (2/21/1946); "A Fortune in Furs" (12/20/1945); "The Stark McVey Case" aka "Murder at Minden" (1/3/1946); "The Pamela Leeds Case" aka "A Will in Question" (1/17/1946); "Carlotta, the Magnificent" aka "Special Added Attraction" (1/31/1946); "Death House Legacy" (4/4/1946); "The Star of Savoy" (6/23/1946); "Cabin on a Lake" (7/7/1946).

    Psychos: A White Girl Problems Book , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 416min
    If you’re one of the hundreds of thousands who devoured Babe Walker’s New York Times best-selling novel White Girl Problems or one of the million people who read her blog or follow her on Twitter daily, then you’ve obviously been waiting with bated breath for her hilarious follow-up novel, Psychos. Fresh from a four-month stint in rehab for her "alleged" shopping addiction, Babe Walker returns home to Bel Air 10 pounds lighter (thanks to a stomach virus), having made amends (she told a counselor with bad skin she was smart) and confronted her past (after meeting her birth mother for the first time - a fashion model turned farmer lesbian). Although delighted to be home and determined to maintain her hard-won inner peace, Babe now faces a host of outside forces seemingly intent on derailing her path to positive change. Not only is she being trailed by an anonymous stalker, but she’s also reunited with the love of her life, a relationship that she cannot seem to stop self-sabotaging. Babe’s newfound spirituality, coupled with her faith in the universe and its messages, leads her all over the world: Shoulder dancing in Paris, tripping out in Amsterdam, and hooking up in the Mediterranean, only to land her back in New York City, forced to choose between a man who is perfect in every way (except for one small detail) and a man who could be The One if only he didn’t drive Babe to utter insanity. Unapologetic and uproarious, Psychos is the send-up of the season - already as timeless as vintage Dior. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tavia Gilbert.

    Magical Charms for Breakfast: Fairy Tales & Magical Adventures, Volume 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 77min
    All the kids in nine-year-old Stefan's school have gone crazy for Magical Charms, the new cereal especially for kids they've been advertising on TV. Not only is Magical Charms colorful and pretty tasty - every box comes with its own unique surprise! Stefan begs his mom to buy a box and can hardly wait to see what his prize is. But unlike his friends, who get cool prizes like mini wands, teeny-tiny swords, and super-small unicorns, Stefan gets a boring miniature lamp that looks a lot like Aladdin's, but can't do anything special - or so Stefan thinks! It isn't until he accidentally wishes for something while holding the little lamp that Stefan realizes his prize is more than meets the eye. A beautiful quirky girl - a genie named Jinn - lives inside, and she's ready and willing to grant Stefan's every wish! At first Stefan is ecstatic. How amazing it is to have everything he could possibly want right at his fingertips! But he soon realizes that having a genie of his own just might be more trouble than it's worth.... And then there's the fact that Jinn has a mission from the Fairy Queen that she just can't remember.... "Jinn, are you listening to me?" "JINN! PAY ATTENTION! This is important!" "Huh, what? Oh yeah. Uhh. Sorry, Your Majesty," said Jinn to the Fairy Queen as she sleepily rubbed her eyes. "A very important mission... don't worry, you can count on me. Must... save... magic...." Jinn's voice trailed off as her eyes grew heavy and gave way to sleep. "JINN!" shouted the Fairy Queen "JINN! Remember the mission and focus on it!" But it was no use, Jinn was fast asleep. The Fairy Queen shook her head in despair. But what choice did she have at this point? It was all up to Jinn now. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Katie Kozlowski.

    Marconi: The Man Who Networked the World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1893min
    A little over a century ago, the world went wireless. Cables and all their limiting inefficiencies gave way to a revolutionary means of transmitting news and information almost everywhere, instantaneously. By means of "Hertzian waves", as radio waves were initially known, ships could now make contact with other ships (saving lives, such as on the doomed RMS Titanic); financial markets could coordinate with other financial markets, establishing the price of commodities and fixing exchange rates; military commanders could connect with the front lines, positioning artillery and directing troop movements. Suddenly and irrevocably, time and space telescoped beyond what had been thought imaginable. Someone had not only imagined this networked world, but realized it: Guglielmo Marconi. As Marc Raboy shows us in this enthralling and comprehensive biography, Marconi was the first truly global figure in modern communications. Born to an Italian father and an Irish mother, he was in many ways stateless, working his cosmopolitanism to advantage. Through a combination of skill, tenacity, luck, vision, and timing, Marconi popularized - and, more critically, patented - the use of radio waves. Soon after he burst into public view with a demonstration of his wireless apparatus in London at the age of 22 in 1896, he established his Wireless Telegraph & Signal Company and seemed unstoppable. He was decorated by the Czar of Russia, named an Italian Senator, knighted by King George V of England, and awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics - all before the age of 40. Until his death in 1937, Marconi was at the heart of every major innovation in electronic communication, courted by powerful scientific, political, and financial interests, and trailed by the media, which recorded and published nearly every one of his utterances. He established stations and transmitters in every corner of the globe, from Newfoundland to Buenos Aires, Hawaii to Saint Petersburg. Based o ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Allan Robertson.
