Title: Belle's Quest Series: #3 of Fairytale Bureau Author: Eve Langlais Narrator: Sierra Kline Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 30 minutes Release date: November 7, 2024 Genres: Romantasy Publisher's Summary: My life has taken a hairy twist. I've studied the Grimm Effect and am prepared to be the one who finally breaks it. The others who came before me failed, but I have an advantage they didn't. I escaped my unhappily-ever-after. The one thing I don't have? Jet-setting money. Good thing a prince I saved while working at the Fairytale Bureau has deep pockets. He's offered to help me end the jinxing once and for all. What I didn't count on was the curse fighting back. In an annoying twist, I am now the beast. From dusk 'til dawn, I'm a hairy monster, and do you know what tames me when I'm tempted to eat annoying people? A certain sarcastic prince. However, I don't have time for romance because I'm on a quest to save myself, and the world. A quest being thwarted at every turn by the evil magic that keeps spreading. Will I find the answer before everyone in the world is merely a character in a story? Admit defeat and take up residence in a dreary castle where I can roar at trespassers? Or should I take a page from a book and give true love a try? Contains mature themes.

Title: Pumpkinflowers: A Soldier's Story of a Forgotten War Author: Matti Friedman Narrator: Matti Friedman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 31 minutes Release date: November 5, 2024 Genres: Military Publisher's Summary: “A book about young men transformed by war, written by a veteran whose dazzling literary gifts gripped my attention from the first page to the last.” —The Wall Street Journal “Friedman’s sober and striking new memoir . . . [is] on a par with Tim O’Brien’s The Things They Carried -- its Israeli analog.” —The New York Times Book Review It was just one small hilltop in a small, unnamed war in the late 1990s, but it would send out ripples that are still felt worldwide today. The hill, in Lebanon, was called the Pumpkin; flowers was the military code word for “casualties.” Award-winning writer Matti Friedman re-creates the harrowing experience of a band of young Israeli soldiers charged with holding this remote outpost, a task that would change them forever, wound the country in ways large and small, and foreshadow the unwinnable conflicts the United States would soon confront in Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere. Pumpkinflowers is a reckoning by one of those young soldiers now grown into a remarkable writer. Part memoir, part reportage, part history, Friedman’s powerful narrative captures the birth of today’s chaotic Middle East and the rise of a twenty-first-century type of war in which there is never a clear victor and media images can be as important as the battle itself. Raw and beautifully rendered, Pumpkinflowers will take its place among classic war narratives by George Orwell, Philip Caputo, and Tim O’Brien. It is an unflinching look at the way we conduct war today.

Am Kneipentisch nebenan feiert eine junge Frau fröhlich ihre Scheidung. Seine eigene Trennungsgeschichte war alles andere als lustig und seitdem versucht Marc verzweifelt seinen Job und den Alltag mit seinem autistischen Sohn Gabe unter einen Hut zu bekommen. Doch die Ausgelassenheit der jungen Frau fasziniert ihn. Als er mitbekommt, dass sie einen Job sucht, weiß er, dass das kein Zufall sein kann ... Tori spielt allen perfekt vor, dass sie glücklich ist. In ihr sieht es jedoch ganz anders aus. Ihr Mann hat sie nicht nur betrogen, sondern auch ihr ganzes Geld genommen, einschließlich der Summe, die sie für ihr Studium gespart hatte. Damit ist nicht nur ihre Ehe vorbei, sondern auch ihr Traum zu studieren und Kindern mit besonderen Bedürfnissen zu helfen. Als dieser gutaussehende Typ ihr einen Job als Nanny seines Sohnes anbietet, weiß Tori, dass das ihre Chance ist ... Auftakt der zehnteiligen 'Die Single Dads of Seattle' Reihe. Band 2 - Dancing with the Single Dad - Adam Adam Eastwood weiß, dass eine Tanzschule genau das Richtige für seine quirlige Tochter Mira ist. Den ganzen Tag wirbelt sie im Tutu durch das Haus - warum also nicht einen Profi bezahlen, der ihr beibringt, wie man richtig tanzt? Allerdings hat Adam nicht damit gerechnet, dass ausgerechnet Violet Benson von der berühmten New Yorker Ballettkompanie Miras Lehrerin sein würde. Violet ist wunderschön und zudem die perfekte Lehrerin für Mira. Und sie ist genau die Art von Frau, nach der Adam sein ganzes Leben lang gesucht hat. Aber kann Adam den Schmerz und die Trauer über das Scheitern seiner Ehe vergessen? Violet will niemals wieder auf der Bühne stehen, auch wenn es bislang ihr Leben war. Doch wie kann sie weitermachen, wenn ihre große Liebe nicht mehr da ist, um sie aufzufangen? Sie waren eine Einheit - nicht nur auf der Bühne, sondern auch im Leben. Kurzerhand beschließt sie nach Seattle zurückzukehren und sich dort den Traum einer eigenen Tanzschule zu erfüllen. Erst als sie gebeten wird für 'Art in the Park' zu tanzen, wird ihr klar, wie sehr ihr ihr altes Leben und die Auftritte fehlen. Wäre es so falsch, ein letztes Mal auf der Bühne zu stehen? Und wer wird sie auffangen, wenn sie den Halt verliert? Band 3 - Saved by the Single Dad - Mitch Seit dem Tod seiner Frau ist Mitch Benson auf sich alleine gestellt. Seiner Tochter Jayda versucht er ein toller Vater zu sein und seinen Job als Fotograf so gut wie möglich zu machen. Bei einer Tanzveranstaltung trifft er auf Paige McPherson und was er durch die Linse seiner Kamera sieht, ergreift ihn zutiefst. Wenn Paige tanzt, verändert sich die Welt. Seine Welt. Mitch spürt, dass sie denselben Schmerz und dieselbe große Trauer in sich trägt, die auch ihm jeden Tag aufs Neue das Herz zerreißt. Page tanzt was er fühlt und Mitch weiß: diese Frau wird sein Leben verändern. Paige hätte nie gedacht, dass sie jemals wieder einem Mann besondere Beachtung schenken würde. Schon gar nicht Mitch, dem Freund ihre Ex-Mannes Adam. Zu tief sitzen der Schmerz über ihre gescheiterte Ehe und die vielen Verluste, die sie ertragen musste. Nur das Tanzen lässt sie den inneren Schmerz vergessen und hilft ihr, neue Kraft zu sammeln. Doch Mitch bleibt hartnäckig und nach und nach bricht er die Mauern auf, die Paige um sich herum gebaut hat. Als sie vor eine große Entscheidung gestellt wird, ist Paige unsicher: kann sie Mitch vertrauen, der ihr so fest zur Seite steht? Oder soll sie ihren Weg alleine gehen, weil sie kein neues Glück verdient?

Reilly Narrator: Phoebe Strole Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 12 minutes Release date: October 15, 2024 Genres: Sci-Fi, Fantasy & Paranormal Publisher's Summary: 'A thoughtful, otherworldly story about loss, hope, and the risks we take for the ones we love.'—Dustin Thao, New York Times bestselling author of You’ve Reached Sam When a new girl arrives in town, seemingly from the future, three teens' lives are turned upside down in this speculative YA novel full of love and loss, and the power of the unknown. Seventeen-year-old Nell knows two things for sure—she’s never going to get out of her rural, dead-end hometown of Clawson, NY and her best friend Stevie B and longtime boyfriend Cole are never going to leave her. That is until Charlotte, a new girl, arrives at their school and their lopsided friend triangle is turned on its axis. While Nell and Stevie B are certain that Charlotte isn’t who she says she is, Cole is caught fully in her thrall. There are secret calls and meetings between the two, and Nell knows Cole is keeping something big from her. Now, for the first time in their lives, Nell worries she could lose Cole. When Nell and Stevie B finally confront Cole and Charlotte, they learn the impossible—Charlotte is actually from the future, and for life altering reasons none of them could have imagined, she wants Cole to jump to the future with her, leaving Nell behind. It’s dangerous, it’s reckless, but Charlotte convinces them that it’s the only choice they have. The trio’s future has always seemed set—but with the knowledge that time travel is real, and with a multiverse of futures before them, they now have the option to live lives they could have only dreamed about. The only questions are, who will take the leap and who will be left behind?
