Husband Wearing Wife's Clothes Stories: Caught in the Act , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 53min, (USK 18)

Tonight, I am going to dress you up as a woman and you are going to be exactly that, a woman, she said. "But, what if I resist and don't want to?" He said defiantly. "Well, then I will just have to post the video of you wearing women's clothes that I caught on my cell phone last week." She then held up her cell phone and showed him the video. "This will go out on the internet, to friends, co-workers, and family members, then I will file for divorce and take full custody of our son, if you do not do what I say tonight," she said in a commanding and dominant voice. Andrew knew he had no choice. He had to listen to his wife. He didn't want to lose her, his son, or his marriage or to have anyone know about his cross-dressing secret. "Now, I am going to dress you up to look like the woman you really are." She said. Amy pulled out the short black micro mini dress that she had bought that week. She had also bought a black lace bra with matching panties, black thigh high fishnet stockings, black high heels, and a blonde wig for Andrew to wear. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Audric's Way

Is this a ripping yarn or a historical drama? Maybe both? This adventure takes place during a period referred to as the Dark Ages, a time of deep depression for centuries following the Romans withdrawal from Britain. Approaching the end of the seventh-century life is difficult for the populous as they look to eke out a living from the land. But our characters strive to overcome adversity and seek a brighter future than seems possible in a country rife with poverty and war. Our hero, Audric, hopes for peaceful adventure and a life full of cultural change. He loses his parents at an early age but carries on defiantly to pursue new opportunities. As a young teen, Audric is befriended by a mystical elderly man called Morgan and his dwarf-like companion, Tork, who becomes Audric's life-long friend. On his death, Morgan imparts his knowledge and mystical powers to Audric and thus opens up new opportunities and influences in the world around him. Some of the historical events are known to have taken place but not necessarily in the chronological order detailed. This adds a colourful background to the story as Audric interacts with real-life characters of the era during a period stripped of sophisticated trappings yet still bound by war, religion, hope and survival.

Peter stood up and walked into the living room where Becky had gathered up all of the books and was standing in the middle of the living room, her arms full of books.“I’ve picked them up, sir,” she said, her voice gentle and seductive. “What should I do now?” She took one book and dropped it on the floor in front of her defiantly. Smiling at him, biting her lip, she dropped another one on the floor.Peter would play along, the visage of her biting her lip had made him fully erect, his palms sweat, and his heart race. She was deliciously seductive and played the role of the “naughty girl” well.“I want you to pick those up,” Peter said firmly. “And if I don’t?” Her question was a challenge, a moment of defiance.Peter sat staring at her curves, his eyes fixated on her hips and thought how nice it would be to be her yoga pants for just an hour. “If you don’t, I guess you’ll have to get a spanking,” Peter said in a matter-of-fact tone. She let out a little moan as she bit into her lip harder. She then turned her back to him and bent over to pick up the books. She looked back over her shoulder to ensure that he was watching, which he was.Warning: This book contains steamy romance scenes and is not suitable for all ages. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Peggy Guggenheim: The Shock of the Modern , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 367min

A spirited portrait of the colorful, irrepressible, and iconoclastic American collector who fearlessly advanced the cause of modern art. One of 20th-century America's most influential patrons of the arts, Peggy Guggenheim (1898-1979) brought to wide public attention the work of such modern masters as Jackson Pollock and Man Ray. In her time there was no stronger advocate for the groundbreaking and the avant-garde. Her midtown gallery was the acknowledged center of the postwar New York art scene, and her museum on the Grand Canal in Venice remains one of the world's great collections of modern art. Yet as renowned as she was for the art and artists she so tirelessly championed, Guggenheim was equally famous for her unconventional personal life and for her ironic, playful desire to shock. Acclaimed best-selling author Francine Prose offers a listen of Guggenheim's life that will enthrall enthusiasts of 21st-century art as well as anyone interested in American and European culture and the interrelationships between them. The lively and insightful narrative follows Guggenheim through virtually every aspect of her extraordinary life, from her unique collecting habits and paradigm-changing discoveries to her celebrity friendships, failed marriages, and scandalous affairs. Prose delivers a colorful portrait of a defiantly uncompromising woman who maintained a powerful upper hand in a male-dominated world. She also explores the ways in which Guggenheim's image was filtered through the lens of insidious anti-Semitism. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Carrington MacDuffie.

The Girl Who Stopped Swimming , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 562min

Laurel Gray Hawthorne needs to make things pretty, whether she's helping her mother make sure the literal family skeleton stays in the closet or turning scraps of fabric into nationally acclaimed art quilts. Her estranged sister, Thalia, an impoverished Actress with a capital A, is her polar opposite, priding herself on exposing the lurid truth lurking behind middle class niceties. While Laurel's life seems neatly on track - a passionate marriage, a treasured daughter, and a lovely home in suburban Victorianna - everything she holds dear is suddenly thrown into question the night she is visited by the ghost of a her 13-year old neighbor, Molly Dufresne. The ghost leads Laurel to the real Molly, floating lifelessly in the Hawthorne's backyard pool. Molly's death is inexplicable - an unseemly mystery Laurel knows no one in her whitewashed neighborhood is up to solving. Only her wayward, unpredictable sister is right for the task, but calling in a favor from Thalia is like walking straight into a frying pan protected only by Crisco. Enlisting Thalia's help, Laurel sets out on a life-altering journey that triggers startling revelations about her family's guarded past, the true state of her marriage, and the girl who stopped swimming. Richer and more rewarding than any story Joshilyn Jackson has yet written, yet still packed with Jackson's trademarked outrageous characters, sparkling dialogue, and defiantly twisting plotting, The Girl Who Stopped Swimming is destined both to delight Jackson's loyal fans and capture a whole new audience. ungekürzt.

Why We Suck: A Feel Good Guide to Staying Fat, Loud, Lazy and Stupid, Hörbuch, Digital, 287min

A pissed off Leary is the best Leary," says one critic of the writer and comic. In Why We Suck, Dr. Denis Leary uses his common sense and his biting and hilarious take on the world to attack the politically correct, the hypocritical, the obese, the thin - basically everyone who takes themselves too seriously. He does so with the extra oomph of a doctorate bestowed upon him by his alma mater Emerson College. "Sure it's just a celebrity type of thing - they only gave it to me because I'm famous." Leary explains. "But it's legal and it means I get to say I'm a doctor - just like Dr. Phil." In Why We Suck, Leary's famously smart style and sardonic wit have found their fullest and fiercest expression yet. Zeroing in on the ridiculous wherever he finds it, Leary unravels his Irish Catholic upbringing, the folly of celebrity, the pressures of family life, and the great hypocrisy of politics with the same bright, savage, and profane insight he brought to his critically acclaimed one-man shows No Cure for Cancer and Lock 'n Load, and his platinum-selling song, Asshole.. Proudly Irish American, defiantly working class, with a reserve of compassion for the underdog and the overlooked, Leary delivers blistering diatribes that are penetrating social commentary with no holds barred. Leary's work will find wide appeal among people who want to laugh out loud or find a guide who matches their view of what's wrong in America and the world-at-large; and fans of his one-man shows, his many movies, and Rescue Me, Leary's Golden Globe and Emmy - nominated television show. Why We Suck is the latest salvo from one of America's most original and biting comic satirists. Language: English. Narrator: Dr. Denis Leary.

Charity and Sylvia , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 655min

Conventional wisdom holds that same-sex marriage is a purely modern innovation, a concept born of an overtly modern lifestyle that was unheard of in nineteenth century America. But as Rachel Hope Cleves demonstrates in this eye-opening book, same-sex marriage is hardly new. Born in 1777, Charity Bryant was raised in Massachusetts. A brilliant and strong-willed woman with a clear attraction for her own sex, Charity found herself banished from her family home at age twenty. She spent the next decade of her life traveling throughout Massachusetts, working as a teacher, making intimate female friends, and becoming the subject of gossip wherever she lived. At age twenty-nine, still defiantly single, Charity visited friends in Weybridge, Vermont. There she met a pious and studious young woman named Sylvia Drake. The two soon became so inseparable that Charity decided to rent rooms in Weybridge. In 1809, they moved into their own home together, and over the years, came to be recognized, essentially, as a married couple. Revered by their community, Charity and Sylvia operated a tailor shop employing many local women, served as guiding lights within their church, and participated in raising their many nieces and nephews. Charity and Sylvia is the intimate history of their extraordinary forty-four year union. Drawing on an array of original documents including diaries, letters, and poetry, Cleves traces their lives in sharp detail. Providing an illuminating glimpse into a relationship that turns conventional notions of same-sex marriage on their head, and reveals early America to be a place both more diverse and more accommodating than modern society might imagine, Charity and Sylvia is a significant contribution to our limited knowledge of LGBT history in early America. ungekürzt.

Someone Could Get Hurt: A Memoir of 21st-Century Parenthood , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 290min

Audie Award Finalist, Humor, 2014 A sharp, funny, and heartfelt memoir about fatherhood and the ups and downs of raising a family in modern America. No one writes about family quite like Drew Magary. The GQ correspondent and Deadspin columnist's stories about trying to raise a family have attracted millions of readers online. And now he's finally bringing that unique voice to a memoir. In Someone Could Get Hurt, he reflects on his own parenting experiences to explore the anxiety, rationalizations, compromises, and overpowering love that come with raising children in contemporary America. In brutally honest and funny stories, Magary reveals how American mothers and fathers cope with being in over their heads (getting drunk while trick-or-treating, watching helplessly as a child defiantly pees in a hotel pool, engaging in role-play with a princess-crazed daughter), and how stepping back can sometimes make all the difference (talking a toddler down from the third story of a netted-in playhouse, allowing children to make little mistakes in the kitchen to keep them from making the bigger ones in life). It's a celebration of all the surprises - joyful and otherwise - that come with being part of a real family. In the wake of recent best sellers that expose how every other culture raises their children better, Someone Could Get Hurt offers a hilarious and heartfelt defense of American child rearing with a glimpse into the genuine love and compassion that accompany the missteps and flawed logic. It's the story of head lice, almost-dirty words, flat-head syndrome, and a man trying to commit the ultimate act of selflessness is a selfish world. ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Accidental Feminist: How Elizabeth Taylor Raised Our Consciousness and We Were Too Distracted by Her Beauty to Notice , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 296min

Movie stars establish themselves as brands - and Taylor's brand, in its most memorable outings, repeatedly introduced a broad audience to feminist ideas. In her breakout film, National Velvet (1944), Taylor's character challenges gender discrimination: Forbidden as a girl to ride her beloved horse in an important race, she poses as a male jockey. Her next milestone, A Place in the Sun (1951), can be seen as an abortion rights movie - a cautionary tale from a time before women had ready access to birth control. In Butterfield 8 (1960), for which she won an Oscar, Taylor isn't censured because she's a prostitute, but because she chooses the men: she controls her sexuality, a core tenet of the third-wave feminism that emerged in the 1990s. Even Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966) depicts the anguish that befalls a woman when the only way she can express herself is through her husband's stalled career and children. The legendary actress lived her life defiantly in public - undermining post-war reactionary sex roles, helping directors thwart the Hollywood Production Code, which censored film content between 1934 and 1967. Defying death threats, she spearheaded fundraising for AIDS research in the first years of the epidemic and championed the rights of people to love whom they love, regardless of gender. Yet her powerful feminist impact was hidden in plain sight. Drawing on unpublished letters and scripts as well as interviews with Kate Burton, Gore Vidal, Austin Pendleton, Kevin McCarthy, Liz Smith, and others, The Accidental Feminist will surprise Taylor and film fans with its originality and will add a startling dimension to the star's enduring mystique. ungekürzt.
