    A little bit of sin is good for the soul. Gadriel, the fallen angel of petty temptations, has a bit of a gambling debt. Fortunately, her angelic bookie is happy to let her pay off her debts by doing what she does best: All Gadriel has to do is tempt miserably sinless mortal Holly Harker to do a few nice things for herself. What should be a cakewalk of a job soon runs into several roadblocks, however, as Miss Harker politely refuses every attempt at temptation from Gadriel the woman, Gadriel the man, and Gadriel the adorable fluffy kitten. When even chocolate fails to move Gadriel's target, the ex-guardian angel begins to suspect she's been conned. But Gadriel still remembers her previous job… and where petty temptations fail, small miracles might yet prevail. Olivia Atwater explores love, grief, and the very last bit of chocolate in this sweet modern fantasy, full of wit and heart. Pick up Small Miracles, and enjoy a heavenly faerie tale from the author of Half a Soul.

    Some folks just prefer to stay home. You know them - whole families who politely decline invitations because they don't spend money on fancy clothes, don't care for "small talk". And they certainly don't dance. They're just not "party people". Meet an earnest first-grader, intent upon convincing his hill-country parents that other children are treated to a party each year on their birthday, that they invite friends, eat cake - and receive presents. Meet also his equally intent mother, who is determined not to open this can of worms, not with the 128 cousins who might start doing the same thing. Both of them step out of this luminous story that turns the concept of "good neighbors" upside down. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: August House.

Two men politely offer them a ride home. Yet they were anything but good Samaritans. The girls would suffer unspeakable crimes at the hands of these men before being thrown from a bridge into the North Platte River. One miraculously survived; the other did not. Years later author and journalist Ron Franscell - a childhood friend and next-door neighbor to the girls - can't forget his hometown's shocking story of abduction, rape, and murder. Exploring the nature of a small town's memory and the poison of survivor guilt, The Darkest Night races toward a shocking ending.

    Was Auntie Maim an axe murderer? Well, you might have thought so! Auntie Mame, on the other hand, can teach you and all of us an important lesson. The little things in life sometimes aren’t so little. Sheldon Beasley, 13, learned that lesson when his attempt to audition for a role in the wildly popular play Auntie Mame went horribly awry. In a letter to the play’s director, Sheldon made several references to "Auntie Maim". Oops. That’s no way to impress the boss, who politely notified Sheldon he would not be invited to tryouts. But Sheldon’s best friend, Tabby Moore, wouldn’t let Sheldon give up. She organized a political-style campaign on Sheldon’s behalf. Problem was, Sheldon, Tabby, and friends suddenly found themselves in the adult world, battling adults on the adults’ turf. With those odds, the kids’ outlook was bleak. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    “Do I know you?” said Abbey, with an inquisitive look on her face.“No, I don’t think so,” replied Tom with his charming smile.They had just been set up on a blind date, and there was an instant physical attraction. Abbey would already see that Tom was well off; the fancy restaurant was his choice, and he’d already insisted he’d be the one who was paying. It wasn’t something Abbey expected, but she’d gulped when she’d seen the prices on this menu.She couldn’t help but be tempted by a question she wanted to ask. It was a standard question, but one she was hesitant to ask due to his obvious wealth.“So what do you do for a living?” she asked politely.“I’m the financial director at one of the firms in the city." ungekürzt.

    A map by definition is less than the territory to which it points. If such a topographical depiction was exactly the same in detail, size, and description to the area it wished to cover, then it would be superfluous and redundant. Therefore, if we accept this definition of maps, we know that each of them (no matter how sophisticated) will have gaps. Which is another way of saying (perhaps less politely) that all models are in some sense wrong. They will have key pieces and vital information missing. So, like the recorded warning to oncoming passengers in the underground tube stations in London, England, we are told to “mind the gaps”. This audiobook explores why we should keep open and humble and realize the limits of our cranial capacities and the models of reality we generate. ungekürzt. Language: English.
