    The Beekeeper's Ball: Bella Vista Chronicles, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 686min
    Number-one New York Times best-selling author Susan Wiggs returns to sun-drenched Bella Vista, where the land's bounty yields a rich harvest… and family secrets that have long been buried. Isabel Johansen, a celebrated chef who grew up in the sleepy Sonoma town of Archangel, is transforming her childhood home into a destination cooking school - a unique place for other dreamers to come and learn the culinary arts. Bella Vista's rambling mission-style hacienda, with its working apple orchards, bountiful gardens and beehives, is the idyllic venue for Isabel's project… and the perfect place for her to forget the past. But Isabel's carefully ordered plans begin to go awry when swaggering, war-torn journalist Cormac O'Neill arrives to dig up old history. He's always been better at exposing the lives of others than showing his own closely guarded heart, but the pleasures of small-town life and the searing sensuality of Isabel's kitchen coax him into revealing a few truths of his own. The dreamy sweetness of summer is the perfect time of year for a grand family wedding and the enchanting Beekeeper's Ball, bringing emotions to a head in a story where the past and present collide to create an unexpected new future. From "one of the best observers of stories of the heart" (Salem Statesman-Journal), The Beekeeper's Ball is an exquisite and richly imagined novel of the secrets that keep us from finding our way, the ties binding us to family and home, and the indelible imprint love can make on the human heart. ungekürzt.

    Witches Be Crazy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 659min
    Real heroes never die. But they do get grouchy in middle age. The beloved King Ik is dead, and there was barely time to check his pulse before the royal throne was supporting the suspiciously shapely backside of an impostor pretending to be Ik's beautiful, long-lost daughter. With the land's heroic hunks busy drooling all over themselves, there's only one man left who can save the kingdom of Jenair. His name is Dungar Loloth, a rural blacksmith turned innkeeper, a surly hermit, and an all-around nobody oozing toward middle age, compensating for a lack of height, looks, charm, and tact with guts and an attitude. Normally politics is the least of his concerns, but after everyone in the neighboring kingdom of Farrawee comes down with a severe case of being dead, Dungar learns that the masquerading princess not only is behind the carnage but also has similar plans for his own hometown. Together with the only person senseless enough to tag along, an eccentric and arguably insane hobo named Jimminy, he journeys out into the world he's so pointedly tried to avoid as the only hope of defeating the most powerful person in it. That is, if he can survive the pirates, cultists, radical Amazonians, and assorted other dangers lying in wait along the way. Logan J. Hunder's hilarious debut blows up the fantasy genre with its wry juxtaposition of the fantastic and the mundane, proving that the best and brightest heroes aren't always the best for the job. ungekürzt.

Der South West Coast Path umrundet den Südwesten Großbritanniens auf über 1000 Kilometern Länge, zahlreiche Touren in diesem Wanderführer führen auf Teilen dieses exzellenten Küstenpfads. Und wer unterwegs eine Stärkung braucht, für den gibt es bei nahezu jeder Tour eine Empfehlung für ein gemütliches Pub oder einen Tea Room.Jede Wanderung wird mit einer zuverlässigen Wegbeschreibung, einem detaillierten Kartenausschnitt und einem aussagekräftigen Streckenprofil vorgestellt. Zudem stehen GPS-Daten zum Download von der Internetseite des Bergverlag Rother bereit.Die Autorin Edith Kreutner lebt und unterrichtet in Südwestengland, ist dort als Bergretterin und Wanderführerin aktiv und damit eine fundierte Kennerin Englands. Im Bergverlag Rother hat sie bereits den Titel »England Mitte - Im Herzen Englands von den Cotswolds zum Peak District« verfasst.
