  Stay at Home, Dog!: An Educational Children’s Story About Pandemics , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1min

  During a time when the world is uncertain, we need to become leaders and teachers. This book helps you do just that with your children. It teaches them (and you) how to handle some of the pandemic’s biggest buzzwords. Social distancing, shelter at home, quarantining, and something about washing your hands for 20 seconds!  Hopefully, you and the kids learn something, because what we need now is a little bit of intelligent comic relief. That's why the main character, Mabel the Dog, is here. Mabel can multitask. She will help your children learn while also helping them go to sleep, be smarter, and other things. It's really one of those children's books that can do it all.  Layla, a 4-year-old, says, "I loved seeing the doggy being clean. He looks funny. Do we have to be clean too, Daddy?" Right on, Layla! I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it while on lockdown with my entire family. Who knew a viral outbreak could be so family-oriented! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tristan Pollock. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/196658/bk_acx0_196658_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

  Domestic Violets: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 660min

  Tom Violet always thought that by the time he turned 35, he’d have everything going for him. Fame. Fortune. A beautiful wife. A satisfying career as a successful novelist. A happy dog to greet him at the end of the day. The reality, though, is far different. He’s got a wife, but their problems are bigger than he can even imagine. And he’s written a novel, but the manuscript he’s slaved over for years is currently hidden in his desk drawer while his father, an actual famous writer, just won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. His career, such that it is, involves mind-numbing corporate buzzwords, his pretentious archnemesis Gregory, and a hopeless, completely inappropriate crush on his favorite coworker. Oh... and his dog, according to the vet, is suffering from acute anxiety. Tom’s life is crushing his soul, but he’s decided to do something about it. (Really.) Domestic Violets is the brilliant and beguiling story of a man finally taking control of his own happiness - even if it means making a complete idiot of himself along the way. ungekürzt.

  Embrace the Suck , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 147min

  Milspeak: Slang for military jargon, troop idioms, and Pentagonese. Members of America’s armed forces have their own distinctive language: milspeak. Especially since WWII, soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines have invented and adapted their own slang vocabularies, creating a colorful insider’s lingo of bureaucratic buzzwords, acronyms, mock jargon, dark humor, and outright profanity. Milspeak gives a unique and touching insight into military life from basic training to the trenches; from the flight deck to the cockpit.  This comprehensive field manual includes more than 500 colorful entries including:   Voluntold: Derisive slang for “I was ordered to volunteer”. Back to the taxpayers: Navy slang for where a wrecked aircraft gets sent. Dome of obedience: Slang for a military helmet. Also called a brain bucket or skid lid. Echelons above reality: Higher headquarters where no one has an idea about what is really happening. Embrace the suck: The situation is bad, deal with it. Embrace the Suck is the perfect gift for the soldier, sailor, marine, or airman in your life - or for the Beltway Clerk* who yearns to speak like one.    *Derisive term for a Washington political operative or civilian political hatchet man. May refer to so-called “Washington defense experts” who’ve never served in the armed forces. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dave Michaels.
