Full of Beans , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 216min
Newbery Honor Book Turtle in Paradise is beloved by listeners, and now they can return to this wonderful world through the eyes of Turtle's cousin, Beans. Grown-ups lie. That's one truth Beans knows for sure. He and his gang know how to spot a whopper a mile away, because they are the savviest bunch of barefoot conchs (that means "locals") in all of Key West. Not that Beans really minds. It's 1934, the middle of the Great Depression. With no jobs on the island and no money anywhere, who can really blame the grown-ups for telling a few tales? Besides, Beans isn't anyone's fool. In fact he has plans. Big plans. And the consequences might surprise even Beans himself. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kirby Heyborne, Jennifer L. Holm.

Single Indemnity (Phoenix Pictures, #2) (eBook, ePUB)
Colluding with your lover to do away with your husband should be a straightforward task-especially when said husband is entirely fictional… One Very Fake Husband…Natalie "Nate" Reynolds has it all-a thriving career as one of golden-era Hollywood's top costume designers, fantastic (and famous) friends…and a husband she invented years ago in a misguided attempt to land a job. That is, until her new project throws her a curve in the shape of a bumbling Brit with the sexiest voice she's ever heard, and her carefully woven charade starts to fray. One Very Real Lover…Rising screenwriting star Colin Canfield's move to Tinseltown could be precisely what he needs to finally find his path again after the war. But his fresh start is about to get turned upside down by the wise-cracking dame of his dreams…who needs his help in keeping her whopper of a secret. One Hell of a Tangled Web…The plot heats up alongside their relationship, as Nate and Colin become embroiled in a real-life drama wilder than the movies they make. When Nate's lie tap dances them straight into screwball-noir disaster, it threatens to unravel the tapestry around-and between-them. But it might just give them the boost they need to rewrite their wrongs together…- Shop: buecher

The Animated Marx Brothers , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 291min
To many people, the Marx Brothers always seemed cartoonish. Small wonder that film animators plucked their personas from their first appearances in The Cocoanuts (1929) and Animal Crackers (1930) and caricatured them in countless animated appearances in theatrical cartoons. Their animated likenesses have since been wisecracking in television cartoons, direct-to-video movies, fan films, commercials, flip books, avatars, emoji, a slot machine, and two TV pilots so rare they were once thought not to exist. At last, Marx Brothers fans can rejoice. Matthew Hahn's search for every animated appearance of a Marx brother has trailed longer than Groucho's coattails. His discoveries include the backstories of the studios, moviemakers and stars, rare test drawings from the Smithsonian Institution National Portrait Gallery, abandoned projects, connections, coincidences, and apocrypha. Through the reels of Silly Symphonies, Looney Tunes, and Merrie Melodies, to their comic clashes with Heckle & Jeckle, Oswald Rabbit, Krazy Kat, Pooch the Pup, Buddy, Cubby, Willie Whopper, Flip the Frog, and Popeye, journey back through the most detailed analyses ever compiled of animated Marx Brothers appearances. The author also draws from appearances in You Bet Your Life (1950), Quick Draw McGraw (1959), The Simpsons (1989), Tiny Toon Adventures (1990), and Animaniacs (1993), among many others. ungekürzt.
