Next Stop, Chancey: Chancey Books, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 608min

Looking in your teenage daughter's purse is never a good idea. After all, it ended up with Carolina Jessup opening a bed & breakfast for railroad fanatics in a tiny Georgia mountain town. Carolina knows all about, and hates, small towns. How did she end up leaving her wonderful Atlanta suburbs behind while making her husband's dreams come true? The town bully (who wears a lavender skirt and white gloves), an endless parade of teenagers through her house, and everybody's talk about a ghost have Carolina looking for an escape, or at least a way to move back home. Instead, she's front and center for all of Chancey's small town gossip. Unlike back home in the suburbs with privacy fences and automatic garage doors, everybody in Chancey thinks your business is their business and they all love the newest Chancey business. The B&B hosts a Senate candidate, a tea for the county fair beauty contestants, and railroad nuts who sit out by the tracks and record the sound of a train going by. Yet, nobody believes Carolina prefers the 'burbs. Oh, yeah, and if you just ignore a ghost, will it go away? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Suzanne Barbetta.

Blues Harp Green , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 457min

The second Francie met Chet, her poetic memory danced. Meet Francie Mills. She's 16. Lives in the boring burbs of LA. Is super determined and hopeful. And wants one thing: to be an amazing tennis player. Because if something exponentially, brilliantly wonderful like that happened, like winning the US Open or even getting to nationals, everything would be okay. Her life. Her family. Her. She would matter. Be part of something important. And wouldn't have to feel so unbearably sad and alone every time her dad gets drunk, again. But the likelihood of amazingness starts to seem impossible when Francie injures her knee, that is, until she meets Chet Jones, lead singer of the band Blues Harp Jones, in Austin, on location for her dad's movie job. Francie instantly falls for Chet, in his weird blazer and God Save the Queen t-shirt, sexy, genuine, funny. And she's sure something wonderful is finally happening, especially when Chet miraculously falls for her too. But the closer Francie gets to Chet back in LA and the more her dad's drinking tears her apart, the more she realizes the best kind of something wonderful isn't at all what she expected.... ungekürzt.

Bartender Tony Gemetti has it all: a rich, hot boyfriend, a McMansion in the ’burbs, and unlimited sex in an expectation-free zone. He thought that was all he ever wanted out of any relationship - until Jack begins making excuses for frequent disappearances. Realizing he has more than his libido and enough drawers for his T-shirt collection riding on this relationship, Tony figures it’s time to find out what’s going on. Jack Noble has spent his life hiding his real self behind a carefully created image. With Tony, he finally knows real freedom, real happiness. Now a past of buried secrets and lies is closing in, and no matter how hard he tries to stop it, the truth is tearing through. Once Tony learns what kind of man Jack really is, he won’t stay. Jack’s sure of it. Suddenly the past shows up in a completely unexpected way, testing the boundaries of their old, coasting-along-on-fun relationship. Tony indeed finds that Jack isn’t the man he went looking for, but it’s too late. There’s too much at stake to just walk away. First, though, he has to make sure there are no lies left for Jack to hide behind. Warning: Listeners should be free of any heart condition that may be affected by a hero with an overactive imagination, painful back stories, and hot sex in a variety of athletic positions.

The Fembot of Norway: RILF; Robots I'd Like to Find, Book 33 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 192min

Coke cans, pizza boxes, and darkness surround Bill Blakley. At 46, Bill’s will became dead to the complexities of 21st century living. The world was again at war, the stock market recently crashed, and he wants to expatriate to Norway. Within the dark confides of his two room apartment, peace, love, and sex all coexist without the price of mendacity. The white walls are chipped with rust, mildew and insects. The black mold carpet reek of chewing tobacco, red wine, and urine. For Bill had fired his maid two years ago because of "creative differences".Life, achieving even an emotion, or tasting food, friendships, family were all just a shallow pool to him. But he did have his faith in himself, in the Mother Mary. His mom and dad dead. His family rejects his call for unity years ago. Classmates became creeps, and the press hounded his trail. Bill won the Pulitzer Prize for what he calls "Bullshit" two years ago. 2020, after 14 years in the service, Billy decided to watch porno all day and write all night. Traffic shotbys on the freeway are the norm. Most people even in the burbs turn off all lights at night, and had armed guards outside the front and back porches.“What in the hell is wrong with CNN (Constant Nazi News Bill's nickname for this news station)! All this spin meister bit with the news!" And people wonder why people are the way they are!” Bill said with a sigh of disbelief. A small 60 watt bulb was the only companion he knew, besides the Internet. For he had become dependent on this wonder to provide the utilities, the avenue to travel, and the supply to his daily necessities.“For those of you who enjoy futuristic science fiction, exploring the human race merging with Robots, this book is for you. ungekürzt.

Love Times Three: The True Story of a Polygamous Marriage , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 556min

He runs his own business and coaches Little League. She drives a minivan, and she'd be lost without her trusty BlackBerry. They go on date nights. Their kids attend public schools, play sports, and take music lessons. They live in a roomy house in the 'burbs. They're about as mainstream as families come. They're also polygamists. For decades, polygamous families have been forced to hide their lifestyle. Men risk prosecution and economic blacklisting, and women face social isolation and faulty assumptions about what it means to live as a sister wife. But Love Times Three, the first-ever memoir of a polygamous family, is a riveting inside look at a world most of us can hardly imagine, revealing the extraordinary workings of the Dargers' day-to-day life. Independent Fundamentalist Mormons, the Dargers grew up in polygamous families, and by the time they were in high school, they knew they wanted to live the Principle themselves. But in a highly unusual situation, even for their culture, both Alina and Vicki expressed interest in Joe at the same time. They ultimately courted him together and married him on the same day. Valerie, Vicki's twin sister, joined the marriage 10 years later. The Dargers move the conversation away from child brides, Warren Jeffs, and the FLDS to more mainstream polygamists who willingly enter into plural relationships as adults. Rather than living in isolated communities, Independent Fundamentalist Mormons are similar to an average American family - except for their family structure. In this intimate, inside story, the Dargers explain why they chose this path despite the pressures of keeping their relationships secret and the jealousy and personal challenges that naturally ensue, why they believe polygamy should be an accepted lifestyle, and, ultimately, why they hope that by revealing their way of life in public, laws that criminalize their lifestyle might change. Written in the voices of the ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: James Lurie, Eliza Foss, Kathleen McInerney, Karla Hendrick.
