They pulled up to the gates, and harried-looking security eyed them in obvious relief. A long line of cars was frantically honking, trying to rush through the exit. "You're here for the rats? You don't look like the guys who do the monthly sprays," the guard said skeptically. "No we're domestic terrorists who stole a bug van on the off chance you might have a rat emergency at just the time we drove up" Phil said deadpan. "What the f--k do we look like we're here for?" "No need to be assholes about it," the guard said and waved them through. As they drove past at a speed calculated to show urgency without looking like they were nervously trying to get away, Magnus clapped the folksinger on the shoulder. "Was that some Obi Wan shit or just the most creative use of truth telling I've ever seen?" ungekürzt. Language: English.

    A cozy English village, a baking contest...and murder! I can remember a time when I baked for fun. I loved dreaming up new recipes, trying different combinations of flavors. Sharing my creations with friends and family.  Now? I have nightmares where the TV cameras are on me and I’m baking naked. Or I open my oven and my cake pans are empty. You don’t need to be Freud to figure out I’m freaking out. This week on The Great British Baking Contest could be my last. I am one bad bake away from being waved good-bye. Sure, I’d get my weekends back, but I’d lose the excitement of being part of a popular reality show, of spending time with the other bakers who’ve become my friends, and, most important, of having time to snoop around Broomewode Hall for secrets about my origins. When a heated argument breaks out in Broomewode village pub, I put it down to nerves. Until someone winds up dead. How am I supposed to concentrate on European Bakes when I’m in the middle of a murder investigation? With witches, ghosts, an energy vortex, a black cat and an ancient manor house that holds its secrets tight, this isn't your typical English village. Taste this culinary cozy mystery series from USA Today best-selling author Nancy Warren. Each book is a stand-alone mystery, though the books are linked. They offer good, clean fun, and, naturally, recipes.  ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Hollis McCarthy.

    From Holocaust to Harvard: A Story of Escape, Forgiveness, and Freedom , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 385min
    A true and touching human tale of survival and achievement. When John Stoessinger was ten years old, Adolf Hitler annexed his homeland of Austria, ripping the boy from his home and his friends in Vienna. His grandparents encouraged his mother and stepfather to take young John somewhere safe. "You must have a future," his grandfather told him before he and his parents boarded the train and waved goodbye. As they trekked across the country, from Vienna to Prague and then finally settling in Shanghai, there was never a single moment Stoessinger was not afraid - he lived in constant fear that he and his family would be found and killed. However, even in Hitler-ruled Nazi Germany, there were plenty of people who refused to cower to absolute evil and who did everything they could to usher families like Stoessinger's to freedom. In From Holocaust to Harvard, Stoessinger recalls heartbreaking moments from his childhood and of living a life of secrets in Shanghai. He then presents the second part of his story - his previous life and devastating memories and is able to relocate to America, earn a graduate-level degree from a prestigious university, and later become a member of the Council on Foreign Relations despite making a decision that nearly lands him in prison and threatens his hard-earned freedom. Throughout his story, Stoessinger expresses his gratitude to those who helped him through the toughest parts of this life and put him on a path that led him to a Harvard education, a successful career, and inner peace. ungekürzt.

    The Wounded Knee Massacre and the Sand Creek Massacre: The History and Legacy of the Two Most Notorious Indian Massacres , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 198min
    On the morning of November 29, 1864, Colonel John Chivington led 700 militiamen in a surprise attack against Cheyenne leader Black Kettle's camp at Sand Creek. Chivington was a fire and brimstone Methodist minister who had publicly advocated indiscriminately killing Native American children because "nits makes lice." Warning his men ahead of battle, Chivington stated, "Damn any man who sympathizes with Indians! I have come to kill Indians and believe it is right and honorable to use any means under God's heaven to kill Indians!" According to Cheyenne oral tradition and several surviving soldiers' accounts, as soon as Black Kettle saw Chivington's men coming, he raised an American flag on a pole and waved it back and forth calling out that his Wutapai band was not resisting. Ignoring his cries for mercy, the soldiers commenced firing, cutting down an estimated 70-200 Cheyenne, about two-thirds of whom were women and children. The Cheyenne claimed that soldiers shot babies in the head at point-blank range, raped Cheyenne women, and scalped dead warriors. The following morning, Army Lieutenant James Connor, who had refused to follow Chivington's orders, visited the scene of the massacre and reported, "In going over the battleground the next day I did not see a body of man, woman, or child but was scalped, and in many instances their bodies were mutilated in the most horrible manner - men, women, and children's privates cut out... I heard one man say he cut out a woman's private parts and had them for exhibition on a stick... I also heard of numerous instances in which men had cut out the private parts of females and stretched them over saddle-bows and wore them over their hats while riding in the ranks." ungekürzt.

    The Legacy of Elizabeth Pringle , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 721min
    Born just before the First World War, Elizabeth Pringle has been a familiar yet solitary figure on the Scottish island of Arran. A dutiful daughter, an inspirational teacher, a gardener. But did anyone really know her? When Elizabeth dies, her will contains a surprise. She has left her home and her belongings to someone who is all but a stranger, a young mother she watched pushing a pram down the road more than 30 years ago. Now it falls to Martha, the baby in that pram, to find out how her mother inherited the house in such strange circumstances, and in doing so, perhaps leave her own past behind. But first she has to find the answer to the question: who was Elizabeth Pringle? A captivating and haunting story of the richness beneath so-called ordinary lives and the secrets and threads that hold women together. Dear Mrs Morrison, A long time ago, almost thirty-four years past, you wrote to me requesting that I contact you should I ever wish to leave my home. I knew then that I would never live anywhere else, and so there was no point in my replying to you. I saw you almost every day, pushing your pram along Shore Road. You looked very young. I remember that on one occasion you waved to me, and I think I tilted my head towards you. Perhaps you did not see. There have been times when that scene has come to me vividly, and I have wondered what has become of you both. I am instructing my solicitor to write to you at the address on your letter. Holmlea is yours if you still wish it. Elizabeth Pringle ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Siobhan Redmond. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/hodd/000628/bk_hodd_000628_sample.mp3.

    The Adventures of the Lone Jack Kid , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 402min
    Join the fun. Ride along with Jesse and Frank James and the Younger brothers as they share in the adventures of The Lone Jack Kid.This was wartime and men lived and died fighting their enemy...and sometimes they died fighting each other. Cole looked at the men, raised his hand, and said in a voice loud enough for everyone in the room to hear, “Don’t do it, boys. Sturman was a yellow cur, and a deserter, and you don’t have to die trying to avenge the likes of him." There were seven Indians and they were standing around two semi-naked white women who appeared to be a mother and daughter. Charlie took a deep breath and let it out slowly. Then he aimed - and fired, and fired, and fired again, repeatedly. He dropped four of the Indians before they knew what hit them. Then he charged into the clearing and shot another Indian reaching for his gun. “My name is Charles Longstreet.” The men looked at each other as recognition set in. “You’re the Lone Jack Kid?” The Kid smiled. “The one and only.” He pulled his hat off of his head and waved it in the air, then he gave the Rebel yell. “See you money grubbers in hell, boys.” He jerked the reins, and nudged Comet with his heals. She turned her head and leaped into the bubbling stream with water as high as the stirrups, and dashed across, splashing tendrils of water high in the air on both sides of her. It was an impressive display of horsemanship, and the toll collectors watched with grudging admiration. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Robert Slone.

    Venetia Kelly's Traveling Show: A Novel of Ireland , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 795min
    She sprang from the womb and waved to the crowd. Then smiled and took a bow. And so we first meet Venetia Kelly, the beguiling actress at the center of this new, spellbinding, and epic novel by Frank Delaney, the best-selling author of Ireland and Shannon.January, 1932: While Ireland roils in the run-up to the most important national election in the Republic's short history, Ben MacCarthy and his father watch a vagabond variety revue making a stop in the Irish countryside. After a two-hour kaleidoscope of low comedy, Shakespearean recitations, juggling, tumbling, and other entertainments, Ben's father, mesmerized by Venetia Kelly, the troupe's magnetic headliner, makes a fateful decision: to abandon his family and set off on the road with Miss Kelly and her caravan. Ben's mother, shattered by the desertion, exhorts "find him and bring him back", thereby sending the boy on a Homeric voyage into manhood, a quest that traverses the churning currents of Ireland's fractious society and splinters the MacCarthy family.Interweaving historical figures including W. B. Yeats and a host of unforgettable creations - "King" Kelly, Venetia's violent, Mephistophelean grandfather; Sarah Kelly, Venetia's mysterious, amoral mother; and even a truth-telling ventriloquist's dummy named Blarney - Frank Delaney unfurls a splendid narrative that spans half the world and a tumultuous, eventful decade.Teeming with intrigue, pathos, and humor, Venetia Kelly's Traveling Show explores two of Ireland's great national passions: theater and politics. Writing with his signature mastery and lyrical prose, Frank Delaney once again delivers an unforgettable story as big and boisterous as the people and events it chronicles. ungekürzt.

    Declutter Your Home Fast: Organization Ideas to Declutter & Organize Your Home in Just 15 Minutes a Day! (Ultimate How To Guide) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 54min
    Organization tips that work: staying organized and declutter your home in just 15 minutes now! No matter how many episodes of "Hoarders" you have seen, you still should not consider yourself a bad person if your home is filled with clutter. Clutter can accumulate in many ways: through laziness, neglect, a busy schedule that does not allow for regular cleaning, not enough space for the people living in the home, any number of reasons. Yet, one truth that comes through on Hoarders and should give you pause is this: mental illness is usually behind every person that has so much stuff that they cannot move in their own home. We trust that your home is not that bad at this point. If it is, you will need professional help in several areas, including the psychological realm. Nevertheless, even if you do not qualify as having a mental illness, there can be several psychological factors involved in your home clutter, which shouldn't surprise you or discourage you. Here are a couple of issues behind home clutter, one or more of which might be true of you: Your home's interior reached a point where you could no longer keep up with the clutter and you waved the figurative white flag. No one has gotten hurt since you surrendered; no bills have been unpaid, so you have simply accepted defeat in regards to your clutter. You will need to have a steely resolve to be able to apply the advice given in this e-book. You will have to take a deep breath and say to the world that you are not going to give up. Rather, you are going to do battle with your clutter and win, one small step at a time. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Patrick Conn.

The Kennedys and the Connallys intended to participate in public events later in the day, and Jackie and John were welcomely surprised by the warm reception they received.
