    Stepbrother Studs: Upton , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 77min, (USK 18)
    Winnie spent years in law school and has been living on a law clerk's meager salary - the only job she could find - while her older stepbrother, Upton, makes six-figures a year writing trashy romance novels under a female pen name for the masses. Not that she begrudges him - they might be step-siblings but they've always been more like best friends. Upton considers Winnie his muse, so when he calls with terrible writer's block, desperately begging her to come up to the summer house where he's trying to meet his deadline, Winnie relents. The truth is, while she makes fun of his profession, she secretly devours all of his novels. As Winnie tries to help Upton with his work, she finds that with every barrier they break down, they grow closer to a truth they've both been trying to hide from one another. Because while her stepbrother might want her as a muse, that isn't all he wants. And Winnie realizes, she wants him, too - more than she's ever let herself admit. Until now. ungekürzt.

    Yesterday (eBook, ePUB)
    For the first time in English, a mind-bending, surreal masterpiece by "the forerunner of them all” (Pablo Neruda) In the city of San Agustín de Tango, the banal is hard to tell from the bizarre. In a single day, a man is guillotined for preaching the intellectual pleasures of sex; an ostrich in a zoo, reversing roles, devours a lion; and a man, while urinating, goes bungee jumping through time itself—and manages to escape. Or does he? Witness the weird machinery of Yesterday, where the Chilean master Juan Emar deploys irony, digression, and giddy repetitions to ratchet up narrative tension again and again and again, in this thrilling whirlwind of the ecstatically unexpected—all wed to the happiest marriage of any novel, ever. Born in Chile at the tail end of the nineteenth century, Juan Emar was largely overlooked during his lifetime, and lived in self-imposed exile from the literary circles of his day. A cult of Emarians, however, always persisted, and after several rediscoveries in the Spanish-speaking world, he is finally getting his international due with the English-language debut of Yesterday, deftly translated by Megan McDowell. Emar's work offers unique and delirious pleasures, and will be an epiphany to anglophone readers.

    The Secret Life of Anna Blanc , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 765min
    It's 1907 Los Angeles. Mischievous socialite Anna Blanc is the kind of young woman who devours purloined crime novels, but must disguise them behind covers of more domestically-appropriate reading. She could match wits with Sherlock Holmes, but in her world women are not allowed to hunt criminals. Determined to break free of the era's rigid social roles, Anna buys off the chaperone assigned by her domineering father and, using an alias, takes a job as a police matron with the Los Angeles Police Department. There she discovers a string of brothel murders, which the cops are unwilling to investigate. Seizing her one chance to solve a crime, she takes on the investigation herself. If the police find out, she'll get fired; if her father finds out, he'll disown her; and if her fiancé finds out, he'll cancel the wedding. Midway into her investigation, the police chief's son, Joe Singer, learns her true identity, and shortly thereafter she learns about blackmail. Anna must choose - either hunt the villain and risk losing her father, fiancé, and wealth, or abandon her dream and leave the killer on the loose. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Moira Quirk.

    I Devour, Therefore I Am: I Waited for so Long to Be Free, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 78min
    Enter the new dimension of intensity! Book one of the post-apocalyptic horror that (very easily) could become real. In the first audiobook of the trilogy, I Devour, Therefore I Am, an ancient order must perform a sacred ritual at Stonehenge; the remnants of an ancient prison known to the order as "The Circle of Captivity." Arlana Tristus spent her entire life defying her own destiny, but now she can run no longer. The ritual at Stonehenge has failed, the prison bars have been shattered, and what lies within is unleashed upon the Earth. It spreads like an epidemic, faster than anyone could have imagined. It infects in seconds, silencing the heart and taking control. It feeds on the memories of its hosts, learning about humanity more and more with each person it devours. Meanwhile, a depressed father drinks away his sorrows in his homeland of Ireland. He is trapped a world away from his son and estranged wife, when the quarantines go into effect. He will witness firsthand the power of Earth's newest denizen. Two people, one destiny: to stand against an evil that has waited millions of years to be free.
