    Lady Blue , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 425min
    Both men tried to shoot her then, and the two women were stunned at the speed with which she moved. Penny charged straight at the gunmen then dove under their fire. Spinning on her back she kicked the legs from under one man, and as he fell, she kicked the gun from the other man’s hand. Spinning back to the first man she saw the gun barrel moving toward her, and she lashed out with her foot. Her boot crushed his skull and she rolled to her feet to grab the last man in a neck lock. A quick twist and he lay lifeless in her arms.She let him fall, as, breathing deeply, she came down off combat mode. “Are you ladies all right?” she asked as she untied the ropes that held the older woman.“Who are you?” asked the old woman fearfully, as she pulled the tape from her mouth.“They call me Lady Blue,” smiled Penny as she helped the woman to stand.“What are you?” It was the younger woman who spoke.“Cold, hungry, dead tired, and covered in blue war paint,” giggled Penny as she released the older woman’s arm. She turned and began to search the bodies. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Aimee Aguilera. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/195221/bk_acx0_195221_sample.mp3.

    Everyday Madness: On Grief, Anger, Loss and Love , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 366min
    ‘The small translucent bottle of shampoo outlived him. It was the kind you take home from hotels in distant places. For over a year it had sat on the shower shelf where he had left it. I looked at it every day.’After the death of her partner of 32 years, Lisa Appignanesi was thrust into a state striated by rage and superstition in which sanity felt elusive. The dead of prior generations loomed large and haunting. Then, too, the cultural and political moment seemed to collude with her condition: everywhere people were dislocated and angry.In this electrifying and brave examination of an ordinary enough death and its aftermath, Appignanesi uses all her evocative and analytic powers to scrutinize her own and our society’s experience of grieving, the effects of loss and the potent, mythical space it occupies in our lives.With searing honesty, lashed by humour, she navigates us onto the terrain of childhood, the way it forms our feelings of love and hate, and steers us towards a less tumultuous version of the everyday.This book may be short, but life, death, madness, love and grandchildren are all there - seen through the eyes of a writer who is ever aware of the historical and current vagaries of woman’s condition. ungekürzt.

    After L.A. , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 36min
    After L.A. is a lifetime as a moment. Not just a collection, but a consideration of what it means for an artist to have grown up, lashed out, and re-nested all within the extremely wide borders of Los Angeles. Paloma Parfrey’s ethos is immersed in LA history, both of the book smarts sort and the personally experienced. To some she is known as a chef. Others a punk diva. The majority of strangers in LA probably know her as the person always checking out 15 books simultaneously at the library. After L.A. pulls together all these things in the form of both a book and an album equal parts intertwined and standing on their own; much like the strange way the diversities of LA life and history work together.Paloma Parfrey has been writing and performing poetry around LA since she was 13. Her band, The Sharp Ease, was an integral part of L.A. DIY punk scene throughout the 00s. Her bandmate for the audio portion of this release (available at all major digital audio platforms under the name Scrolls) is Brian Miller who performed in the drum and voice quartet Foot Village and now records music for film and tv. Together they are Scrolls. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Paloma Parfrey. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/149522/bk_acx0_149522_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Let's Go for a Ride (eBook, ePUB)
    Let's Go for a Ride is the story of William (Bill) Livezey's thirty-year career in the Maine Warden Service. Heralded as "one of the best covert investigators in the country" by Maine Warden Service Lieutenant Dan Scott, Bill is the agency's longest-tenured undercover operative, having spent twenty years in the Special Investigations Unit."Let's go for a ride" is the universal bad-guy code for breaking the law. Among Maine's most sinister wildlife offenders, its utterance is prone to incite alcohol-fueled night hunting, high-speed car chases on winding country roads, drug dealing, arson, and attempted murder. The worst of the worst were Bill Livezey's bread and butter.His success at putting the truly bad guys out of business was driven by his upbringing as one of them. Born and raised in Pennsylvania, Bill's father was a successful businessman whose blind ambition sent him down the dark path of drug trafficking. It wasn't long before young Bill was tagging along and doing drugs with his dad. The aftermath of witnessing his father perish in a fiery standoff with police sent Bill spiraling out of control. He lashed out at law enforcement by dealing drugs, and he numbed the pain and confusion by doing them. Deep down, Bill knew his life was broken. When a high school football teammate invited him to attend a Fellowship of Christian Athletes meeting, he discovered his faith and a new path.

    How to Become a Powerful Prayer Warrior: Improve Your Trust in God So You Proclaim His Gospel Forward With: The Prophet Jeremiah , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 395min
    God rescued the author, Glenn Langohr, from a prison cell, with "urgings to start writing". That was 17 years ago and with 70 books published, Glenn is on fire for God's Word. He attempts to disciple other released prisoners in redemption house.The Book of Jeremiah teaches us how much it breaks God's heart when his church turns away from him. God used his prophet of the heart to tell the church they needed to turn back to god. They "falsely thought" that because they were going to the Temple that they were okay. Jeremiah goes from a "weeping prophet" who "lashed out" in his emotions, to a sturdy man of God who shined heavenly inheritance and stood in the gap in the bold obedience God called him into.In 2019, under the new covenant of grace, the church faces similar issues of idolatry. God told us through Jeremiah that they "were living by the dictates of their own hearts". The question this audiobook begs is are we blinded to sin again? 50 million abortions per year and 200 drug overdoses per day, with 60% from the legal drugs from big pharma speaks volumes about the "falsehoods" our churches are stuck in, yet again. This audiobook challenges you to ask God how to become bolder in your family, church, and sphere of influence to urge people to turn back to Jesus Christ in true repentance. ungekürzt.

    The Plots Against the President
    An anarchist assassin, demagogues, and a plotted coup d'état-the forgotten history of the forces that lashed out against FDR as he took the helm of a country on the brink. In March 1933, Franklin Delano Roosevelt finally became the nation's thirty-second president. The man swept in by a landslide four months earlier now took charge of a country in the grip of panic brought on by economic catastrophe. Though no one yet knew it-not even Roosevelt-it was a radical moment in America. And with all of its unmistakable resonance with events of today, it is a cautionary tale. The Plots Against the President follows Roosevelt as he struggled to right the teetering nation, armed with little more than indomitable optimism and the courage to try anything. His bold New Deal experiments provoked a backlash from both extremes of the political spectrum. Wall Street bankers threatened by FDR's policies made common cause with populist demagogues like Huey Long and Charles Coughlin. But just how far FDR's enemies were willing to go to thwart him has never been fully explored. Two startling events that have been largely ignored by historians frame Sally Denton's swift, tense narrative of a year of fear: anarchist Giuseppe Zangara's assassination attempt on Roosevelt, and a plutocrats' plot to overthrow the government that would come to be known as the Wall Street Putsch. The Plots Against the President throws light on the darkest chapter of the Depression and the moments when the fate of the American republic hung in the balance.
