Words on a Page , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 46min
What's Worse than Brussels Sprouts? School...for Brianna Kiley, it's sitting through the monotony. Thankfully her classes are filled with jokesters, arguers, and the shy. There is never a dull moment in the middle school hallways or the cafeteria. Words on a Page is filling the "boring" days of school with poems and short stories. Includes Blorbs Adventures, by Brianna Kiley, and Rumor Has It, by Susan Kiley, a youth fiction series book. Brianna Kiley has written since she was old enough to hold a crayon, leaving her autograph on a wall in a hair salon (in 2010). Kellie Gillette (hair stylist extraordinaire) still speaks of the time Brianna signed her name to the wall in her back room. She draws inspiration from school, her friends, her time in sports, and of course, her two rowdy brothers and dog, Kenzie. "Inspiration is everyone; you just have to pay attention." Brianna calls Iowa home. Susan Kiley, a freelance editor for traditional publishers since 2005, opened HSL Media, an international book-editing and publishing company, and an online writer's course company. Susan writes fiction (romance) and non-fiction (inspiration, self-help) in her home in rural Iowa, and online at susanrkiley.com. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sierra Anderson.

Hard Times , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 678min
Hard Times is set in and around Coketown, a fictitious, Victorian mill town in the North of England. A town of red brick, machinery, and tall chimneys. A town blackened by soot, shrouded in mist, and choked by smoke. The working men and women of Coketown, referred to generally as "Hands" as if they were merely extensions of the machinery they operate, and not individuals with loves and likes, memories and inclinations, souls to weary and souls to hope. Among the masters of Coketown are the boastful and blusterous Josiah Bounderby, mill owner and banker; and the founder of the Coketown school, Thomas Gradgrind, a man of rigid facts and calculations; Gradgrind's children, Louisa and Tom, are model examples of his educational system: replete with facts and useful knowledge, and without a taint of fancy. Other characters include the highly connected Mrs. Sparsit; and the tender-hearted circus girl, Sissy Jupe, and the genial circus master, Sleary, whose entertainments provide relief from the monotony of Coketown life.Hard Times is Charles Dickens' tenth and the shortest of his full-length novels. It was first published as a serial in the weekly publication, Household Words, between April and August 1854. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rob Goll.

Estuary , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 475min
Late at night, Kumarasurar’sphone rings shrilly. His teenage son is calling. What could he want?A seemingly simple demand torments Kumarasurar, who fears it might put his finances - and perhaps his son’s life - in jeopardy. As a father’s anxieties unravel, his memories undermine his self-worth, and imaginary scenes of damnation taunt him.Estuary brings alive the different ways - absurd and endearing by turns - in which a man and his young son navigate the contemporary world. In the process, it peels back the layers of Kumarasurar’s loneliness: the hurt of a married man whose wife cares only for the happiness of their child, the endless monotony of an office job, and the struggle of the salaried middle class to give their children the best chance of success.Perumal Murugan’s latest novel, his first in an urban setting, is also a razor-sharp parody of everything from e-commerce to the fitness industry, art appreciation to political manipulation, cram schools to social networks. Through a meditative exploration of a father’s emotional landscape, Murugan tells of a world wrecked by unchecked consumerism and an obsession with growth, where technology overrides common sense and degrees don’t guarantee education. And, with characteristic tenderness, he also weaves in a way to redemption. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Suki.

The Darning Needle Dragon: A Tale of and by the Sisters M: The Sisters M Series, Volume 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 292min
Sisters Milja and Marpessa long for a little more in life. Milja is stuck waiting hand and foot on her mother - who never leaves her bed - and counts the days until her father returns from war so that things will finally return to normal. Her younger sister Marapessa is spoiled by their mother, but also wishes she could go back to school and make friends. Until that day, the girls are stuck on the farm, tired, miserable and bored. Wishing for something, anything, to break the monotony of their lives outside the village of Broken Barrow, they soon discover you should always be careful of what you wish for. Particularly a pair of magical sisters who don't yet know that they are magical. When a messenger with an important package for their mother goes missing, the girls are sent out to find him with a stick and a wooden spoon. Defenseless, they face a rampaging dragon and a power hungry warlord. Their one ally? A talking dragonfly. But the greatest peril they face is not to be found in the jaws of the monster, or in the glint of the warlord's sword, but in learning to harness their powers and finally trust one another. ungekürzt.

The God of Yes: How Faith Makes All Things New , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 327min
The Christian life is often defined as "no." What starts with a desire to reject destructive things morphs into a "no" to people, enjoyment, laughter, pleasure, success, and ultimately life itself. Before we know it, we've reduced the Christian faith to a huge rejection of just about everything God has created. Is it any wonder why many in our culture think of Christianity and "no" comes to mind? We need perspective. We need more than just "no." We need to experience a divine "yes" to all of life as a gift from God. Ecclesiastes, through Solomon's journals, gives us a huge dose of reality. Solomon's entire experience is a counterintuitive "yes" to God and every aspect of life. It provides a framework for a faith that squares off with reality and finds it infused with meaning. The God of Yes will explore this counterintuitive approach and provide clear application on how faith can infuse meaning to the monotony of everyday life. It will flip Ecclesiastes upside down to show that it is actually affirming life in all of its parts with God at the center. It will challenge the reader that his or her life can look different even if nothing changes externally. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jud Wilhite.

Iphigenia Holt is a good little witch who grew up under the thumb of a wicked mother and two powerful sisters. Pegged as a caretaker, Iphi hides a secret that would change the way everyone around her views her: she's an empath. And yet she doesn't let that stand in her way. A soaring circus performer with a fierce love for animals and the downtrodden, Iphi tumbles her way through life, hiding the hurt just being around others can inflict...until she meets an enigmatic vampire and his three hot shapeshifting cousins. Drawn to the brightness she shines into their lives, each man promises to transport Iphi from the monotony of her life into a world truly filled with magic. They offer her love, protection - and an unconventional arrangement that will make her the scandal of Distant Edge. But when a rogue vampire attacks Iphi, it's time for the men to step up and for Iphi to fight back the only way she knows how: with love, compassion, and her inner radiance. If love can't conquer evil, her four protectors are more than willing to bare tooth and claw at her side - whether she'll have them or not. Contains mature themes. ungekürzt. Language: English.
