The Glass Castle

MORE THAN EIGHT YEARS ON THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER LIST The extraordinary, one-of-a-kind, "nothing short of spectacular" (Entertainment Weekly) memoir from one of the world's most gifted storytellers. The Glass Castle is a remarkable memoir of resilience and redemption, and a revelatory look into a family at once deeply dysfunctional and uniquely vibrant. When sober, Jeannette's brilliant and charismatic father captured his children's imagination, teaching them physics, geology, and how to embrace life fearlessly. But when he drank, he was dishonest and destructive. Her mother was a free spirit who abhorred the idea of domesticity and didn't want the responsibility of raising a family. The Walls children learned to take care of themselves. They fed, clothed, and protected one another, and eventually found their way to New York. Their parents followed them, choosing to be homeless even as their children prospered. The Glass Castle is truly astonishing-a memoir permeated by the intense love of a peculiar but loyal family. The memoir was also made into a major motion picture from Lionsgate in 2017 starring Brie Larson, Woody Harrelson, and Naomi Watts.

Andrea Cort became a "war criminal" at the age of eight when an unexplained darkness invaded her soul. Now, decades later, the Devil is calling her.Employed by the Diplomatic Corps but secretly aiding the AI masters of the universe, Counselor Andrea Cort despises the powerful Bettelhines—unrepentant death merchants who have prospered from the annihilation of civilizations. Now curiosity compels her to answer a cryptic summons to their home world, where the only law is Bettelhine law. But a murder attempt greets her arrival at Xana's orbital entry port—and far graver peril awaits aboard the elevator transport meant to carry Andrea to the planet's surface. Trapped miles above Xana—surrounded by suspicious Bettelhines, their slavishly loyal retainers - and a corpse liquefied by a 15,000-year-old weapon - Andrea must unmask an assassin or die an equally hideous death. But the true reason for her summons - and sordid secrets weaving through her own dark past - threaten to destroy Andrea Cort more completely than the Claw of God. ungekürzt. Language: English.

A turbulent cloud erupted overhead, its core alive with electromagnetic activity.

But when the High King is stricken with madness and a mysterious plague, Britain is set to be thrown into the chaos of yesteryear. Tory seeks the advice of an advanced civilisation that thrived long before recorded history, where men of great learning and miracles were abundant. The women of the Otherworld agree to aid Tory to make her passage back through time.

The Dream Enabler - Reference Guide , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 131min

Like most lawyers, I have had others attach labels to me over the years, including: (a) the baby faced assassin (b) the lawyer to get when you don't want to deal with a lawyer (c) the "www" (why the wealthy win) guy. The one that has meant the most to me was coined by a small business operator I helped guarantee she survived and ultimately prospered during a difficult startup phase. She called me The Dream Enabler. This book shares many of the key learnings I have been fortunate to discover while having unprecedented access to some of Australia's most successful people. As set out in the foreword to The Dream Enabler book, for as long as I can remember, the obsessive study of great thinkers has been my favorite pastime. This reference guide is designed to be a companion to The Dream Enabler book. It provides a framework to explore and achieve momentum in relation to each of the key concepts, leveraging the foundations explained in detail in The Dream Enabler. ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Crawford County Sketchbook , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 312min

The Switchback family has inhabited Crawford County since before the War Between the States, and it has eked out an existence, and even prospered, by virtue of hard work and honesty. Peter Switchback, Jr., is the current inhabitant of the family estate and caretaker of the farm and in many ways stands as a symbolic paragon of virtue. The Morgan family has been in Crawford County at least as long as the Switchback family and has made its way in the world by means of greed, pride, and dishonesty. Sheriff Cecil Morgan is the third in his line to hold his office, and like his ancestors, he is an avowed enemy of the Switchback family and all that they stand for. The life of Crawford County plays out through the course of short tales told by several of its inhabitants, some tragic, some whimsical. The stories wind their way through the lives of Switchback and Morgan, framed by several ponderings of moral philosophy and existence. We are faced with Peter Switchback's obituary in the opening of the story, and the balance works its way to that eventual outcome. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bryan Stansbury.

Ashley Poston, acclaimed author of Heart of Iron, returns with a dark, lush fairy tale-inspired fantasy for fans of Sara Raasch and Susan Dennard. Cerys is safe in the Kingdom of Aloriya. Here there are no droughts, disease, or famine, and peace is everlasting. It has been this way for hundreds of years, since the first king made a bargain with the Lady who ruled the forest that borders the kingdom. But as Aloriya prospered, the woods grew dark, cursed, and forbidden. Cerys knows this all too well: When she was young, she barely escaped as the woods killed her friends and her mother. Now Cerys carries a small bit of the curse—the magic—in her blood, a reminder of the day she lost everything. As a new queen is crowned, however, things long hidden in the woods descend on the kingdom itself. Cerys is forced on the run, her only companions a small and irritating fox from the royal garden and the magic in her veins. It's up to her to find the legendary Lady of the Wilds and beg for a way to save her home. But the road is darker and more dangerous than she knows, and as secrets from the past are uncovered amid the teeth and roots of the forest, it's going to take everything she has just to survive.

Rise of the Weakest Demon King: A Monster LitRPG Novel: VRMMORPG Dark Descent, Book One , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 204min

How do you make a VR game interesting? Program self-learning NPC’s in it! For the young demon king, Jin Vel Frey, to be able to lead his people in peace and harmony for the past five years, even with their race being one that is hated by many, was an arduous task only he could make possible. The Priyan Kingdom that he ruled over has prospered under the circumstance that no one had taken action against them in quite a long time. Unfortunately, things - especially peace - don’t last forever. The United Federation of Human Nations - an in-game faction formed by predominantly human race players - has issued a mass raid quest in order to quell every single demon-infested area around the Altrius Continent; this includes the Priyan Kingdom. Gifted, or rather programmed, with knowledge but deprived of the ability to combat - the juvenile NPC demon king could not do a thing against the invading players. Consequently, the Priyan Kingdom fell into the hands of humans. Death would have been Jin’s retribution for his failure - a final requiem for his sins.... If only everything was real...and he’s not, basically, an unkillable NPC. [A.I. no. 141 has gained sentience!] Granting (Self Playable Character) ungekürzt. Language: English.
