Die souveräne Leserin
"Dieses Buch hat mich zum Schweben gebracht ? angesichts meines Alters und meiner Gewichtsklasse ein literarisches Wunder. Die Königin von England leiht sich am Bücherbus der Bezirksbibliothek der City of Westminster aus Höflichkeit ein Buch aus und wird darüber zu einer hingerissenen Leserin. Und wir, die wir womöglich schon fast ?alles? gelesen haben, verfolgen diese hinreißende Initiation ins Lesen tatsächlich hingerissen." (Caroline Neubaur)Wer hätte gedacht, dass eine Liebeserklärung an die Queen und die Literatur so gut zusammenpassen? Die Hunde sind schuld. Beim Spaziergang mit der Queen rennen sie los, um den allwöchentlich in einem der Palasthöfe parkenden Bücherbus der Bezirksbibliothek anzukläffen. Ma'am ist zu gut erzogen, um sich nicht bei dem Bibliothekar zu entschuldigen, leiht sich ebenfalls aus Höflichkeit ein Buch aus - und kommt auf den Geschmack.Die Auswirkungen der majestätischen Leselust sind unvorhersehbar, die Grundfeste des Buckingham Palace werden jedenfalls gehörig durcheinander gewirbelt und für den Leser bleibt kein Auge trocken.- Shop: buecher

You'll Grow Out of It , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 441min
The instant New York Times Top 10 best seller 'Jessi Klein is a brilliant comedic mind, and this book is a perfect reflection of that. It's like having a glass of wine with the best friend you wish you had' (Amy Schumer) As both a tomboy and a late bloomer, comedian Jessi Klein grew up feeling more like an outsider than a participant in the rites of modern femininity. In You'll Grow Out of It, Klein offers - through an incisive collection of real-life stories - a relentlessly funny yet poignant take on a variety of topics she has experienced along her strange journey to womanhood and beyond. These include her "transformation from Pippi Longstocking-esque tomboy to are-you-a-lesbian-or-what tom man", attempting to find watchable porn, and identifying the difference between being called 'ma'am' and 'miss' ('Miss sounds like you weigh ninety-nine pounds'). Raw, relatable, and consistently hilarious, You'll Grow Out of It is a one-of-a-kind book by a singular and irresistible comic voice. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jessi Klein.

Seduced By Teacher , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 26min, (USK 18)
Eighteen-year-old sixth former Emma has a crush on her teacher, Miss Duncan. Although drop-dead gorgeous, Emma is painfully shy and hasn't managed any sort of proper relationship as yet. Amy Duncan takes her under her wing. By the time she has finished with her, Emma will be a complete and confident woman. She just has to give up her maidenhead! Extract: Entering the lounge, Emma saw her teacher sat on an upright wooden chair in the middle of the carpet. Still fully dressed in her silk blouse and long skirt, she sat up with perfect posture; accentuating her perfect bosom and flat stomach. "Undress for me," she said. "Slowly!" Emma's hands came up automatically to the loop under her breasts again. Amy flicked on some slow music and Emma's hips began to move to it. Her school shirt hung open and she eased it down her arms to reveal her pretty pink bra. Then her regulation skirt was unzipped and shrugged downwards, to leave her standing just in her pretty pink lingerie. "What a dream," Amy sighed, as she ogled the young woman. Her big tits stood proud on her slim chest, and her panty gusset was stretched tightly over an interesting looking mound. "Let's see the goodies then," she nodded. The bra went first, and Amy caught her breath at seeing those beauties in all their glory. When the girl's hairy blonde muff was revealed, it was all the school ma'am could do to resist the urge to rape her student there and then. "Come here," she commanded firmly. Emma walked across the room and couldn't help making her slim hips sway in a way that made the older woman's mouth water. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: C J Edwards.
