Mr. Right-Swipe , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 476min
Mr. Right-Swipe A Tale of #LeftSwipes, #NotMyTypes, and #Vodka Rae Wallace would rather drown in a vat of pinot greezh and be eaten by her own beagle than make another trip down the aisle - even if it is her best friend's wedding. She's too busy molding the minds of first graders and polishing that ol' novel in the drawer to waste time on any man. But when her best friends stage an intervention, Rae is forced to give in. After all, they've hatched a plan to help her find love the 21st century way: online. She's skeptical of this electronic chlamydia catcher, but she's out to prove she hasn't been too picky with men. However, when a familiar fella's profile pops up - the dangerously hot substitute teacher from work - Rae swipes herself right into a new problem. Sarcastic, irreverent, and uproariously funny - the painfully true, so-insightful-it-hurts kind of funny - Ricki Schultz's wry debut will speak to fans of Bridesmaids or Trainwreck and to anyone who's ever been on a bad date. ungekürzt.

The Great Passage , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 451min
A charmingly warm and hopeful story of love, friendship, and the power of human connection. Award-winning Japanese author Shion Miura's novel is a reminder that a life dedicated to passion is a life well lived. Inspired as a boy by the multiple meanings to be found for a single word in the dictionary, Kohei Araki is devoted to the notion that a dictionary is a boat to carry us across the sea of words. But after thirty-seven years creating them at Gembu Books, it's time for him to retire and find his replacement. He discovers a kindred spirit in Mitsuya Majime - a young, disheveled square peg with a penchant for collecting antiquarian books and a background in linguistics - whom he swipes from his company's sales department. Led by his new mentor and joined by an energetic, if reluctant, new recruit and an elder linguistics scholar, Majime is tasked with a career-defining accomplishment: completing The Great Passage, a comprehensive 2,900-page tome of the Japanese language. On his journey, Majime discovers friendship, romance, and an incredible dedication to his work, inspired by the bond that connects us all: words. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Brian Nishii.

Sketches by Boz: Volume 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 473min
Queen Victoria... and Prince Albert were married in 1840. Dickens uses this event as an ingenious ploy to salute and promote domestic felicity, advising young ladies upon several examples of the different types of male available as partners. There follows a section describing various married couples from whom the young ladies could possibly learn a lesson. The author then entertains with a tale of Nicholas Tulrumble, newly appointed Mayor of Mudfog, with ideas above his station. Mudfog is modelled on the town of Dickens childhood, Chatham, and he continues, with this backdrop, to regale us with a satirical tale about the first meeting of ‘The British Association for the Advancement of Everything [aka Science]’ supposedly held there. Here his imagination runs riot and the authors huge influence and importance in the evolution of humorous writing is once again confirmed.Fantastic ideas such as using cauliflowers as parachutes, theme parks for dissolute nobleman to indulge their rowdy behaviour, an automaton pickpocket that could be utilised by Her Majesties Government- the only disadvantage being it would soon wear out from overwork ! Redolent with the author’s usual swipes at the establishment and his reforming zeal Volume 3 of the Sketches is a Dickensian treat. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Peter Joyce.

Rootabaga Stories , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 194min
Rootabaga Stories (1922) is a children's audiobook of interrelated short stories by Carl Sandburg. The whimsical, sometimes melancholy stories, which often use nonsense language, were originally created for his own daughters. Sandburg had three daughters, Margaret, Janet and Helga, whom he nicknamed "Spink", "Skabootch" and "Swipes" those nicknames occur in some of his Rootabaga stories. The Rootabaga stories were born of Sandburg's desire for "American fairy tales" to match American childhood. He felt that the European stories involving royalty and knights were inappropriate, and so set his stories in a fictionalized American Midwest called "the Rootabaga country" filled with farms, trains, and corn fairies. A large number of the stories are told by the Potato Face Blind Man, an old minstrel of the Village of Liver-and-Onions who hangs out in front of the local post office. His impossibly acquired firsthand knowledge of the stories adds to the book's narrative feel and fantastical nature. In the Preface of the little known Potato Face, Sandburg wrote, "it is in Rootabaga Country, and in the biggest village of that country, the Potato Face Blind Man sits with his accordion on the corner nearest the post office. There he sits with his eyes never looking out and always searching in. And sometimes he finds in himself the whole human procession." ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bobbie Frohman.

Wild Love: Wilding Pack Wolves, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 322min
She programs a dating app for shifters. He's an ex-Army shifter with a dark secret. Their worlds are about to collide. Noah Wilding's family is being targeted by an anti-shifter hate group, so he took a medical leave from the Army to return home and help out. At least, that's the story he's told everyone and he hopes his dark secret will stay buried in Afghanistan. Emily Jones is the lead programmer for Wild Love, the new app that hooks up shifters and humans for a night of hot sex and no commitments. Only she hasn't had a date herself in years, ever since that dark day when her family didn't protect her when she needed them most. She figures one magical night with a hot wolf will help her finally move on with her life. When Noah swipes right for Emily, she thinks her dream one-night-stand is about to come true. But with a hate group planting car bombs during WildLove hookups, Noah and Emily are on the front lines of love. They have to hunt down a killer before he strikes again, and before they do more than heat up the sheets. Because humans and shifters might get wild for a night, but they're not supposed to fall in love. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: J.F. Harding, Moreis Almeida.

Enhance Your Exports! Doing Business on Other Planets , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 281min
On the face of it, this is the story of Dave Smart, business studies lecturer, as he leads a group of three colleagues on a tour of discovery to the Smiling Disc star system, 19 light years from home. Their main purpose is to investigate business practice on Kalista-mm, the larger of the system's two planets, and gather material for Dave's new book, 'Doing Business on Other Planets'. Visits to a sulphur mine, an old-established bank, and a drinks company give the Earthlings surprising insights into the way of life of aliens who have developed along somewhat different lines from us. It's not only that they have big moustaches and white blood, or that they drink sulphuric acid and lay eggs. The inhabitants of Kalista-mm are the epitome of political incorrectness, and are disarmingly honest about it. But is this all there is to it, or does the author's domicile in Thailand hint at some more terrestrial satire in the story? Is Kalista-mm an allegorical Asia? Certainly the Kalistan-mms have some Asian speech characteristics, and the humans' confusion and awe when presented with ways of doing things so different from the ones they're used to on Earth is remarkably similar to Westerners' bafflement when confronted with practices in Asia. Either way, the main benefit of studying a way of life different from ours is that it teaches us more about ourselves. The group's observations provide plenty of scope for taking cruel swipes at many of things we hold precious: government, big business, justice, democracy, climate change, science, religion, and do-gooders generally. It all adds up to a hilarious jaunt around a little-known quadrant of the galaxy (or the world) and a satisfying dig at many of our own sacred cows. ungekürzt. Language: English.
