    The Sky's the Limit , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 323min
    Born in Stockton-on-Tees with cerebral palsy, Susan Bennett, throughout her early life, was constantly told she wouldn't be able to walk, talk properly, move properly, swim, hold a job down, or live a normal life - "whatever that is," says Susan. As she grew, Susan needed to prove this was not the case. Not to herself, you understand, because she always knew she would be able to do these things, but to those in the medical and educational fraternity and other doubters. This audiobook demonstrates Susan's steely resolve to overcome all of life's obstacles, some physical and some emotional and some quite devastating. The book reflects Susan's feelings of cherishing what you have and not worrying about what you don't have, all with a happy demeanor. One by one the can'ts are ticked off as done. Susan says: If anyone gets a modicum of motivation from reading this book, then it has been worthwhile. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rosalind Ashford.

    This follow-up audiobook to Cold Cases Solved continues where the first book left off detailing more true stories of criminal cases that went cold and were eventually solved, sometimes many years later.

    A Delightful Little Book on Aging , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 126min
    A Delightful Little Book on AgingAll around us, older women flourish in industry, entertainment, and politics. Do they know something that we don’t, or are we all just trying to figure it out? For so many of us, our hearts and minds still feel that we are 20-something young women who can take on the world. But in our bodies, the flexibility and strength that were once taken for granted are far from how we remember them. Every day, we have to rise above the creaky joints and achy knees to earn the opportunity of moving through the world with a modicum of grace. Yet we do rise, because it’s a privilege to grow old, and every single day is a gift. Peter Pan’s mantra was “never grow up”; our collective mantra should be “never stop growing”. This collection of user-friendly stories, essays, and philosophies invites listeners to celebrate whatever age they are with a sense of joy and purpose and with a spirit of gratitude. ungekürzt.

    Happy Witchgiving: A Wicked Witches of the Midwest Short , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 169min
    Terry Davenport is new to the job as Walkerville's chief of police, but he takes his position seriously - even though very few things of note happen in the small hamlet. Walkerville may be boring, but Terry's personal life is anything but. When termites infest his house, Terry has no choice but to check into a local inn while his home is being tented. He chooses the Winchesters' bed and breakfast, of course, and he's hoping for good food and a modicum of entertainment from the young girls he loves so much. Instead of relaxation, though, Terry finds himself in the thick of things when teenagers Bay, Clove and Thistle inform him that they're sure some of the new guests at the inn are up to something nefarious. Terry thinks they're jumping to the wrong conclusion, but he finds their endeavors to find out the truth entertaining - even as Tillie Winchester eggs them on and makes things worse. Unfortunately for Terry, it looks as if two scam artists are making their way to Walkerville and - surprise, surprise - the girls might be right after all. It's up to Terry to find out the truth ...and keep the people he cares about safe. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tristan Wright.

    The Bassoon King: My Life in Art, Faith, and Idiocy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 529min
    Rainn Wilson's memoir about growing up geeky and finally finding his place in comedy, faith, and life. For nine seasons Rainn Wilson played Dwight Schrute, everyone's favorite work nemesis and beet farmer. Viewers of The Office fell in love with the character and grew to love the actor who played him even more. Rainn founded a website and media company, SoulPancake, that eventually became a best-selling book of the same name. He also started a hilarious Twitter feed (sample tweet: "I'm not on Facebook" is the new "I don't even own a TV") that now has more than four million followers. Now, he's ready to tell his own story and explain how he came up with his incredibly unique sense of humor and perspective on life. He explains how he grew up "bone-numbingly nerdy before there was even a modicum of cool attached to the word." The Bassoon King chronicles his journey from nerd to drama geek ("the highest rung on the vast, pimply ladder of high school losers"), his years of mild debauchery and struggles as a young actor in New York, his many adventures and insights about The Office, and, finally, Wilson's achievement of success and satisfaction, both in his career and spiritually, reconnecting with the artistic and creative values of the Bahá'í faith he grew up in. ungekürzt.

    Lean Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 223min
    In Lean Life, I discovered that the missing piece for a fantastic life is to "know yourself". I believe we think we know what we want in life and the relationships that are important to us, but in fact, most of us are simply clueless. The question is, why? Because we don't know our most important customer...ourselves. It is crucial that we do this with precision and accuracy. There's no room for "kinda sorta". It is the most essential work we will do, and it will almost guarantee a life with deep meaning and happiness.Lean life is the simplicity of living our whole life with intentionality and purpose. We often research, invest, strategize, and work diligently to continuously improve in the workplace yet improvise at home.  Lean Life applies the key "lean" business elements I discuss in 2 Second Lean to our personal lives and relationships. It's the simple and practical shop-floor wisdom of stopping our personal assembly line of defects and mistakes to come up with new and improved solutions.I promise this will not be an intellectual exercise. No psychobabble. I don't understand it, and it never helps me anyway. Rather, this is the perspective of an average guy who happens to be in love with lean life and fixing what bugs him. So if simple and practical is your preference, you're in luck! If you have a modicum of curiosity and you want to see how to do life better, then Lean Life is the right book for you. ungekürzt.

    Ghosts: Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse, Book 8 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 774min
    Cade Grayson, father, husband, and former Delta Force operator collected his fair share of ghosts as the Omega virus ravaged the United States, turning the majority of her population into mindless automatons hungering for human flesh. Wearing incredulous stares, the faces of those ghosts - dozens of men, women, and children he was unable to save during his many forays into the Z-infested wasteland - visit him nightly during the early morning hours when defenses are dulled and REM sleep has him in its firm grip. For others who lost contact with loved ones during the frantic first hours and days of the Omega outbreak, their ghosts manifest in the nagging possibility that a wife or child or mother or sibling may still be alive out there, somewhere, struggling to survive amongst the multitudes of walking corpses and roving bands of murderous breathers. So as the Eden survivors prepare their rural Utah compound for the coming fall and winter they find that the herds of dead patrolling the nearby State Route aren't their only enemy. Idle time seems to be giving power to their ghosts. And with each perceived whiff of familiar perfume, or flash in the side vision of a familiar form that proves to be nonexistent, the lure of wanting to know their fate begins to affect some of the group adversely. Even after attaining a modicum of closure in the high country of central Idaho, Duncan Winters continues to seek solace for his loss at the bottom of a whiskey bottle. ungekürzt. Language: English.
