Pride and Prejudice (Vim Classics) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 660min
Pride and Prejudice, the story of Mrs. Bennet's attempts to marry off her five daughters, is one of the best-loved and most enduring classics in English literature. Excitement fizzes through the Bennet household at Longbourn in Hertfordshire when young, eligible Mr. Charles Bingley rents the fine house nearby. He may have sisters, but he also has male friends, and one of these - the haughty and even wealthier Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy - irks the vivacious Elizabeth Bennet, the second of the Bennet girls. She annoys him. Which is how we know they must one day marry. The romantic clash between the opinionated Elizabeth and Darcy is a splendid rendition of civilized sparring. As the characters dance a delicate quadrille of flirtation and intrigue, Jane Austen's radiantly caustic wit and keen observation sparkle. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sara Leslie.

Margaret Stephens has her sights set on marrying a man with a promising future. Nicholas Alexander is definitely not that man.

He's already been scratched and isn't about to make the same mistake twice. Margaret doesn't plan on ever going hungry again. A visit to the orphanage brings up a past she keeps trying to forget.

Getting Upset , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 60min
We all get upset from time to time, whether it is from bad service, other people being rude, things not going the way they should, the list is endless and it affects us. Similarly we get annoyed by the excess of current politically correct morons who are forever getting offended for the sake of it and have nothing to back up their position other than by default being subhumans and can't get to grips with free speech and the fact that others have a different opinion to themselves. We need to understand why we get upset and not just because something irks us, that's not good enough. Why we labour upon thoughts and deliberate to our detriment isn't smart either, it serves no purpose nor solves anything, in fact it just makes us angry and alters nothing. This audio download is for those who easily get upset or dwell on what has happened and goes through the ways in which we can eliminate it all so we can move forward again. ungekürzt.

From New York Times best-selling & award-winning author Selena Kitt Harmony comes home from four years at boarding school hating the older stepbrother who sent her there with a passion.

Now that she's home, Harmony is determined to make Warren mad in every possible way. If that includes going out with Hamilton, a much-older friend of the family, she'll make the sacrifice.

Except Harmony doesn't know the danger that lies waiting for her in the shadows. She doesn't know why her stepbrother really sent her away, or what history there is between Warren and Hamilton that irks her hard, determined stepbrother far beyond any petty jealousy. But Harmony's about to find out. She's about to be given a lesson by her handsome, fiery stepbrother that she's never going to forget. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Veronica Parker.

The Colonel Who Couldn't Remember , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 615min
Perfect for fans of A Man called Ove by Fredrik Backman. Funny, moving, clever, mysterious and challenging, with a fabulous central character who always remains one strong-willed and whimsical man standing against the world.Dominic likes anonymity, his local Drumcondra park, his neighbour’s cat, Boris, and Mrs Hand who passes his front door always carrying two bags of groceries. But all is not as it seems. The Politician next door claims to be his wife, the Auld One his mother, the Young Woman his daughter and the Brat his grandson - the "Onslaught". Just as preposterous, they all say he’s actually a Colonel on extended leave after being kidnapped and tortured. What especially irks Dominic is the "Shrinkage" claiming he suffers from a rare form of memory loss. With unwavering conviction, he rejects all this while grumpily tolerating daily visits and interferences.In surreal circumstances he discovers a large sum of money hidden in the Politician’s garden toilet and during the Politician’s election dinner has a strange staring match with a small girl which afterwards convinces him he needs a new identity. These events help drive the narrative on until a fateful decision must be made. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Philip O. Sullivan.

It's Not Mean If It's True: More Trials from My Queer Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 325min
The author of Alec Baldwin Doesn't Love Me and That's Mr. Faggot to You returns with more skewed observations on the strange state of the queer union. As fans of his previous collections have happily discovered, little escapes his attention, and no topic is too controversial or sacred to be tackled. "The Condensed History of Gay Pride" is enough to send any politically correct gay leader shrieking into the streets. But Ford's favorite target remains himself. The fact that Cher's butt is more famous than he is really irks him, and he is willing to pretend to be straight in order to get help while shopping for clothes. He murdered his rival's "egg baby" in high school to secure a good grade, and he sacrificed his own to a chocolate cake. Whether he is equating becoming a man with buying a barbecue in the very moving "Rite of Passage" or considering the state of parenthood in the unforgettable "Cheaper by the Dozen", Ford continues to observe life in ways that help us more closely observe ourselves - while never, never forgetting to make us laugh. ungekürzt.

Seasons of the Heart , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 446min
Seasons of the Heart Falling in Love Katie Morgan has her future planned. It doesn't include becoming serious about anyone before she achieves her goals, not even her handsome boss, Wade McAlester. Just because she does not have time to date, doesn't mean her boss shouldn't. Her new mission: to make her boss happy, whether or not he wants to be. Winter Chill When Sasha Steinfeld sees Katie Morgan's engagement ring, she realizes it could have been her. If only she wasn't so frigid around men. Overcoming the past isn't easy, but Sasha knows she must if she ever wants to find the same happiness Katie has found. The last person Forrest Tucker expects to see when he gets to his cabin is Sasha. When he realizes she's injured, Forrest does what any good citizen would do - if they were helping someone else. When Forrest learns the secret behind Sasha's chilly personality, he sets out to help her thaw. Spring Break Kelly Sanders volunteers at an orphanage and loves working with children - even if they can be a bit mischievous at times. Marc Stevenson is used to fighting fires, not rescuing damsels in distress out of trees. He thinks Kelly would be perfect for him, except for that one flaw. How does a man, with visions of children, fill a nest that's sure to be empty if he spends it with the woman he loves? Will some munchkins playing matchmaker be able to bring Kelly and Marc together? Or will love's ember never have the chance to be ignited? Heated Summer Margaret Stephens has her sights set on marrying a man with a promising future. Nicholas Alexander is definitely not that man. His boyish charm isn't going to sidetrack her; not that he appears to want to. Nick's judgmental manner irks her because he doesn't know her. Not well enough to condemn her, at least.
