Going Down in Flames , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 669min
If her love life is going down in flames, she might as well spark a revolution. Finding out on your 16th birthday you're a shape-shifting dragon is tough to swallow. Being hauled off to an elite boarding school is enough to choke on. Since Bryn is the only crossbreed at the Institute for Excellence, all eyes are on her, but it's a particular black dragon, Zavien, who catches her attention. Zavien is tired of the Directorate's rules. Segregated clans, being told who to love, and close-minded leaders make freedom of choice almost impossible. The new girl with the striped hair is a breath of fresh air, and with Bryn's help, they may be able to change the rules. At the Institute, old grudges, new crushes, and death threats are all part of a normal day for Bryn. She'll need to learn to control her dragon powers if she wants to make it through her first year at school. But even focusing on staying alive is difficult when you're falling for someone you can't have. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Julie Niblett.

From Camelot to despair in a single decade.In an instant, young Danny Logan fell in love with a girl and a career. Only one was faithful. Growing up on the streets of Hartford, Connecticut's South End in the tumultuous 1960s was a challenge in itself. For Logan, it meant having sharp wits, rock-solid values, and pride. But when he meets a girl who captures his heart with a single glance, he is torn between the neighborhood he knows - the place where he belongs - and a world of wealth beyond his dreams in a mansion at Fenwick on the shores of Long Island Sound. When disloyalty crushes his fantasy, he finds a new life as a newspaperman covering the violence and divisiveness of racial unrest in the City and the bloody Vietnam conflict. His journey as a reporter and editor takes him through the headlines that mark the worst of the 60s and 70s and harden him to the harsh realities of a new world. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Tara Shiloh knows she's not a drug addict. She's positive she's a good mother and hard worker. So why is she in an alley with a needle in her arm?

With her memory spotty and the circumstances incriminating, Tara must fight to learn the truth and wrestle with the idea that maybe her son is better off without her.

True to You , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 818min
Exciting start of a brand-new series by a contemporary romance fan favorite. After a devastating heartbreak three years ago, genealogist and historical village owner Nora Bradford has decided that burying her nose in her work and her books is far safer than romance in the here and now. Unlike Nora, former Navy SEAL and Medal of Honor recipient John Lawson is a modern-day man, usually 100% focused on the present. But when he's diagnosed with an inherited condition, he's forced to dig into the secrets of his past and his adoption as an infant, enlisting Nora to help him uncover the identity of his birth mother. The more time they spend together, the more this pair of opposites suspects they just might be a perfect match. However, John's already dating someone and Nora's not sure she's ready to trade her crushes on fictional heroes for the risks of a real relationship. Finding the answers they're seeking will test the limits of their identity, their faith, and their devotion to one another. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stephanie Cozart.

On Sal Mal Lane: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 970min
In the tradition of In the Time of the Butterflies and The Kite Runner, a tender, evocative novel about the years leading up to the Sri Lankan civil war. On the day the Herath family moves in, Sal Mal Lane is still a quiet street, disturbed only by the cries of the children whose triumphs and tragedies sustain the families that live there. As the neighbors adapt to the newcomers in different ways, the children fill their days with cricket matches, romantic crushes, and small rivalries. But the tremors of civil war are mounting, and the conflict threatens to engulf them all. In a heartrending novel poised between the past and the future, the innocence of the children - a beloved sister and her overprotective siblings, a rejected son and his twin sisters, two very different brothers - contrasts sharply with the petty prejudices of the adults charged with their care. In Ru Freeman’s masterful hands, On Sal Mal Lane, a story of what was lost to a country and her people, becomes a resounding cry for reconciliation. ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Resurrection of Joan Ashby , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1159min
Aged 13, Joan Ashby drew up a list of How to Become a Successful Writer: 1. Do not waste time. 2. Ignore Eleanor Ashby* when she tells me I need friends [*J. A.'s mother]. 3. Read great literature every day. 4. Write every day. 5. Rewrite every day. 6. Avoid crushes and love. 7. Do not entertain any offer of marriage. 8. Never ever have children. 9. Never allow anyone to get in my way. A decade later her short stories take the literary world by storm. But her failure to fulfil numbers six and seven gets in the way, closely followed by number eight (twice); some years down the road, she finds herself living a life very different from the one she had envisioned. She finally gets back on track with numbers four and five, and her much-anticipated first novel is finally written - and it's a masterpiece, she just knows it. But as she is poised to reclaim the spotlight, a betrayal of Shakespearean proportions is lurking around the corner.... An audacious and dazzling novel, epic in scope but intimate in its portrayal of one woman's triumphs and catastrophes. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gabra Zackman, Michael Dickes.

Don't Worry: It's Just a Dream , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 207min
Lee Davidson takes the concept of journaling about dreams a step up in a collection of 31 comedic short stories about his own shut-eye narratives. As the protagonist in his stories, Davidson embraces the illogical aspects of dreams and wanderings of the imagination, as they place him in strange and humorous allegorical situations. The dreams that Davidson depicts are similar to those that you may have had. In some dreams, he goes back to the halls of his high school, to the days of final exams and young crushes. In others, he's at work when a series of exceedingly strange situations occur, or he's exploring important places from his past. Davidson's stories also include dreaded scenarios from which anyone is eager to awake. He'll suddenly find himself naked in a public place, hoping that no one notices. Ex-lovers haunt his life in unpredictable ways. Worst of all, he gets trapped in nightmarish automated menu loops when calling customer service. As you journey through Davidson's subconscious, be prepared to laugh and find yourself enthralled in larger-than-life circumstances that can take place only in dreams. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Romeo & What's Her Name , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 326min
In this fast-paced romance that combines flirty fun and situational comedy, a spunky heroine must navigate secret crushes, high school hijinks, and, of course, Shakespeare. Understudies never get to perform...which is why being Juliet's understudy in the school's yearly Shakespeare production is the perfect role for Emily. She can earn some much-needed extra credit while pursuing her main goal of spending time with Wes, aka Romeo, aka the hottest, nicest guy in school (in her completely unbiased opinion). And she meant to learn her lines, really, it's just: a) Shakespeare is HARD, b) Amanda (the "real" Juliet) makes her run errands instead of lines, and c) there's no point, since Amanda would never miss her chance to be the star of the show. Then Amanda ends up in the hospital, and Emily, as the (completely unprepared!) understudy, has to star in the most famous scene from Romeo and Juliet opposite the guy of her dreams. Oops? Shani Petroff's Romeo and What's Her Name is a laugh-out-loud funny novel chosen by listeners like you for Macmillan's young adult imprint Swoon Reads. ungekürzt. Language: English.
