  The Beautiful Miscellaneous , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 584min

  A dazzling novel from the best-selling author of The Last Painting of Sara de Vos, winner of the 2017 Indie Prize for Literary Fiction. Nathan Nelson is the average son of a genius. His father, a physicist of small renown, has prodded him toward greatness from an early age, but despite Samuel Nelson's efforts Nathan remains ordinary. Then, in the summer of 1987, everything changes. Nathan is involved in a terrible accident and falls into a coma. When he awakens, he finds that everyday life is radically different. His perceptions of sight, sound and memory have been irrevocably changed. The doctors and his parents fear permanent brain damage, but the truth of his condition is more unexpected and leads to a renewed chance for Nathan to find his place in the world. Thinking that his son's altered brain is worthy of serious inquiry, Samuel arranges for Nathan to attend a research centre where savants, prodigies and neurological misfits are studied and their specialities applied. Immersed in this strange atmosphere - where an autistic boy can tell you what day Christmas falls on in 3026 but can't tie his shoelaces - Nathan begins to unravel the mysteries of his new mind and finally makes peace with the crushing weight of his father's expectations. ungekürzt.

  Don't Lick the Minivan: And Other Things I Never Thought I'd Say to My Kids , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 437min

  As a woman used to traveling and living the high life in Bangkok, Leanne Shirtliffe recognized the constant fodder for humor while pregnant with twins in Asia's sin city. But in spite of deep-fried bug cuisine and nurses who cover newborn bassinets with plastic wrap, Shirtliffe manages to keep her babies alive for a year with help from a Coca-Cola deliveryman, several waitresses, and a bra factory. Then she and her husband return home to the isolation of North American suburbia. In Don't Lick the Minivan, Shirtliffe captures the bizarre aspects of parenting in her edgy, honest voice. She explores the hazards of everyday life with children such as:The birthday party where neighborhood kids took home skin rashes from the second-hand face paint she appliedThe time she discovered her twins carving their names into her minivan's paint with rocksThe funeral she officiated for "Stripper Barbie"The horror of glitterAnd much more! A delayed encounter with postpartum depression helps Shirtliffe to realize that even if she can't teach her kids how to tie their shoelaces, she's a good enough mom. At least good enough to start saving for her twins' college - eh, therapy - fund. And possibly her own. Crisply written, Don't Lick the Minivan will have parents laughing out loud and nodding in agreement. Shirtliffe's memoir might not replace a therapist, but it is a lot cheaper. ungekürzt.

  You Can Read Anyone: Never Be Fooled, Lied to, or Taken Advantage of Again , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 197min

  Have you ever wished you could peer into someone's mind to find out what he or she is really thinking? Now you can...really. This audiobook is not a collection of recycled ideas about body language. It does not suggest that a woman's hairstyle will give us unprecedented access into her soul; neither does it spout wildly ambiguous generalities about people based on intuition or gut instinct. Nor does it reach conclusions based on how she folds her hands or he ties his shoelaces. This audiobook contains specific, proven psychological techniques that can be applied instantly to any person in just about any situation. Dr. Lieberman has demonstrated the ease and accuracy of these techniques on hundreds of television and radio programs. In a special report for Fox News, host Jeff Rosin declared, "It's simply amazing! I was with him and he was never wrong...not even once. I even learned how to do it, and that's saying something." In fact, Dr. Lieberman has gone head-to-head on live television with skilled polygraph examiners and scored just as well every time. You Can Read Anyone explains, step-by-step, exactly how to tell what someone is thinking and feeling in real-life situations. For example, you will see precisely how to determine whether another poker player will stay in or fold, whether a salesperson is trustworthy, or whether or not a first date is going your way or the other way. And when the stakes involve high-level negotiations, interrogations, or questions of abuse, theft, or fraud, knowing who is out for you, and who is out to get you (or a loved one) can save you time, money, energy, and heartache. ungekürzt.

  The Summer of Lost Soles , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 239min

  The book Summer of Lost Soles, by Ronald E. Hudkins, follows a youth named Ricky and his friends through their preteen 1960’s summer vacation mishaps. It seems Ricky has a somewhat known reputation for not being able to keep from destroying, losing, or misplacing every pair of shoes that are destined, rumored, indicated, or even actually placed upon his feet. He has a devious scheming sister who lives to get him in to trouble. His parents are at wits end to keep him in shoes. His friends aren’t any help at all in helping Ricky preserve his footwear be it by their pranks or everyday antics where stuff ultimately happens. Pretty much at the end of their ropes Ricky’s parents only request was for their son’s promise to have at least one pair of shoes ready and able to be worn to school at the end of what they knew was going to be a long hot summer. Their demanded stipulations were the shoes had to be more than a pair of shoelaces wrapped around his ankles. The shoes had to contain all the eyelets. They had to have an upper canvas casing that covers both feet completely. The soles had to be attached to the canvas as designed. The bottom of the feet could not be seen and exposed to the pavement below. Basically the shoes had to be a normal, unabridged, completely assembled presentable pair of footwear. They did not have to be pristine as some average wear and tear was expected. The satellite requirement of having just one pair of shoes by school time did not mean he was allowed to be barefoot the first or last half of summer. Although they threatened to send him to school during winter storms in his bare feet, Ricky did not believe for a minute that would happen. Just in case it could happen, Ricky did commit himself to the promise to have one pair of shoes (perhaps more) capable to carry him off to his first year of junior high school. ungekürzt.
