The Devils You Meet on Christmas Day: An Anthology , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 179min
The season isn't what it seems. While some are nestled cozy in their traditions, others are lost in darkness. An unkindness of ravens lurk like a warning above them while they try to escape their inner demons and fight the dragons they've been trying to avoid. There's no enjoying fatal amounts of pie because their minds are slipping, slipping into a twisted delusion. They are the murderers, the disturbed, the unfortunate, and the misunderstood. These outliers are imprisoned by their circumstances until they slowly fade into the icy landscape, smothered by the forged façade of a perfect Christmas. In this unsettling collection of stories, authors Katie Coughran, Vanessa K. Eccles, Mary Gray, and Cammie Larsen explore the darkened corners of paranormal, horror, and fantasy to create a gothic and somewhat macabre Christmas read. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Mermaids , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 246min
Mrs. Flax was happiest when she was leaving a place, but I wanted to stay put long enough to fall down crazy and hear the Word of God. I always called my mother Mrs. Flax. So begins this extraordinary first novel about one wild year in the life of 14-year-old Charlotte Flax, when she and her sister Kate move with Mrs. Flax into a sleepy 1960's Massachusetts town. Mrs. Flax is a woman who wears polka-dot dresses and serves hors d'oeuvres for dinner every night, and Kate is a child who basically wants to be a fish. And then there's Charlotte, who in Patty Dann's hands, is transformed into a young woman of infinite whim and variety. Charlotte's main ambition in life is to become a saint, preferably martyred, though she's Jewish. She's smitten with the shy young caretaker at the convent at the top of the hill. Dann has created a young girl who accepts the unkindness of the mad universe in which she's whirling and takes it on with a savage glee. Charlotte Flax is like no one you have ever met - and someone you know very well. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Elizabeth Evans.

The Audacity of You! , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 56min
The Audacity of You! outlines situations of human inconsideration. Through a series of anecdotes, author Dominique Wilkins explores real-life scenarios where the victim's response could only be, The Audacity of You! While the book has the potential to deteriorate into a rant about perceived slights and offenses, instead it takes a lighthearted look at the stories of those who dared such behavior. Listeners will identify with, laugh at, and shake their heads when they listen to Eugene's experience with a fellow gambler's lack of loyalty, or miserly Ernesha Olsen who refuses to share, but constantly expects handouts from others. The nerviest tale is of seventy-two-year-old May who shoveled her driveway while younger neighbors looked on, then left their trash on her lawn, and had the audacity to park in her driveway because it was the only one in the neighborhood that was shoveled. These and many other stories will leave you shaking your head in disbelief and muttering, The Audacity of You! Dominique Wilkins has used actual events to demonstrate the extent of human's rudeness, inconsideration, and downright unkindness toward friends, family, and neighbors. You'll identify with the stories and want to contribute a "The Audacity of You!" tale or two from your own experiences. Indeed, the appeal of The Audacity of You! lies in the fact that we've all been there. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Benjamin Goff.

Nothing Changes Until You Do: A Guide to Self-Compassion and Getting Out of Your Own Way , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 276min
After three years of living his dream as a professional baseball pitcher, Mike Robbins had an arm injury that benched him for good, and when this happened, he had to figure out who he was without the identity of "baseball player" - a process fraught with emotional highs and lows. He quickly realized that the self-criticism and self-doubt he was feeling are epidemic in our culture. Too often we base our value on our external world - our jobs, finances, appearance, or various other factors. Even the most successful people struggle with their relationship with themselves. In Nothing Changes Until You Do, Mike looks at this delicate relationship and brings to light a new way to look at life, opening your eyes to your innate value. In these 40 inspiring stories, Mike shows you how to get out of your own way and make peace with yourself. With humor, authenticity, and ease, he illustrates that with a little self-compassion and a healthy dose of self-acceptance, anyone can turn away from the negatives that manifest because of a critical self-perception - things like unkindness, insecurity, addictions, unnecessary drama, and more. You’ll learn to have more compassion, more acceptance, and more love for yourself - thus giving you access to more compassion, more acceptance, and more love for the people (and everything else) in your life. ungekürzt.
