Summary:
Poppy and Rose used to be close as sisters could be--until everything went wrong. Now in their forties, they haven't spoken in years. But when their vivacious, glamorous, powerhouse of a mother dies, they are both faced with the shock of grief. However, their mother was not one to go shrinking into the night. No, their mother, Andrea, has left them a project to work on together: a sort of scavenger hunt through their lives, which she calls the Her final wish: to heal the fractured relationship between her daughters that broke her heart. A is for Ashes. C is for champagne. D is for Daddy Issues. But when they get to F for Forgiveness, can they make a start, even when they can barely look at each other? With Andrea's wicked sense of humor and wild stories from her acting career, she has left the quest in a series of boxes filled with letters, recordings, videos, mementos, and instructions. From Liverpool to London and even Paris, the sisters follow the trail toward a glimmer of hope: despite loss, there is room for laughter, love, and healing--and for second chances.

Summary:
The time has come to pay Sawyer back for all of his support and hard work. For taking a chance on Sean when no one else would. For getting Sean the needed supplies for the war back when no one else was able to. Sawyer has always been in Sean's court and has gone above and beyond more than once. And let's not even mention the help he's provided to Mihalis and Troy! So the lions are off to Nighthome to help Sawyer take the crown, which in goblin society is a lot more like a hostile corporate takeover, combined with counting coup, than any kind of violence. Hopefully. However, as long as they're going to be in the Goblin and Dark Elves homeland, there's a little matter of taking House Uunregarten to task for a number of actions that have impacted House Valens, Sean's wife Cali, their children, and, of course, the lions. House Uunregarten is about to learn that it is never wise to piss off a lion. Especially not one who is immortal, knows magic, and is going to show up with ten thousand of his best friends to have a... few words. This is the last Valens Heritage book.

Autor: Alexandre Dumas
Erzähler: Gerry Hungbauer
Herausgeber: Lauscher Hörbücher
Veröffentlichungsdatum: 02-06-2026
Sprache: Deutsch

Zusammenfassung:
Der Graf von Monte Christo – Band 4 ist ein Abenteuerroman von Alexandre Dumas dem Älteren. Zwischen 1844 und 1846 veröffentlichte Dumas den Graf von Monte Christo als Fortsetzungsroman in der Zeitschrift Le Journal des débats und erzielte damit ungeahnten Erfolg. Noch bevor der Roman fertiggestellt war, erschienen bereits die ersten Nachdrucke, gefolgt von immer neuen Übersetzungen in zahlreiche Sprachen. Bis heute gilt er als eines der international bekanntesten Werke der französischen Literatur, was sich in einer großen Zahl zum Teil sehr erfolgreicher Adaptionen ausdrückt. Die Geschichte spielt in der Zeit nach der Französischen Revolution, 1815 bis 1838. Napoleons Stern ist untergegangen, und die Restauration unter den Königen Ludwig XVIII. und Karl X. hat sich durchgesetzt. Dann folgt die Julirevolution von 1830, durch die der „Bürgerkönig" Louis-Philippe I. auf den Thron kommt.

Title: Cash Is Queen
Subtitle: A Conscious Journey in Angel Investing
Categories: Business, Career, Female Protagonist, Finance
Author: Natalie Levy
Narrator: Natalie Levy
Publisher: She's Independent LLC
Release date: 02-06-2026
Language: English

Summary:
Natalie didn't always consider herself an investor, even after spending over seven years working on Wall Street and in private equity. The regular covert put downs, aggressive bro culture, and pointed remarks (and harassment) to push women out of the space did just that. Finance wasn't (and still isn't) a space where women were naturally invited — or celebrated. Today, with almost two decades of angel investing experience, a portfolio of 45+ private investments, and an average return of 20X across her early growth checks, Natalie runs She's Independent, a women-first angel investment group, to change this narrative. She lives and breathes conscious angel investing and investment education to forge a path for herself and others so that we can. So that we can show up authentically as ourselves. So that we can grow through life's difficulties. So that we can have the support and belonging in our lives that we so long for. So that our voices, dollars, and influence are heard, seen, and felt. So that we can influence the world we live in.

Title: Anti-Donatist Writings
Subtitle: Writings in Connection with the Donatist Controversy
Categories: Christianity, Ethic, Religious Study, Theology
Author: Augustine
Narrator: Virtual Voice
Publisher: Appian Way Press
Release date: 02-05-2026
Language: English

Summary:
Augustine’s sustained response to the Donatist schism and a defining moment in the theology of church unity and the sacraments This modernized edition brings together Augustine’s three anti-Donatist writings, presenting his most extended engagement with the Donatist controversy in clear, contemporary English for students, pastors, and readers of historical theology. The Donatist controversy arose in the aftermath of the Diocletianic persecutions and centered on the question of whether the moral failure of clergy invalidated the sacraments they administered. From this dispute emerged a lasting schism, with Donatist communities claiming to represent a pure church set apart from a compromised wider communion. Augustine’s response addresses these claims directly and at length. In On Baptism, against the Donatists, Augustine develops a sacramental theology in which the efficacy of baptism rests in Christ rather than in the character of the minister. He argues that baptism remains valid even when administered by those outside the unity of the Church, while insisting that separation from the Church is itself a grave spiritual harm. In Answer to the Letters of Petilian engages the arguments of a prominent Donatist bishop, responding point by point to accusations concerning betrayal, purity, and ecclesial legitimacy.

Title: Anti-Manichaean Writings
Subtitle: Writings in connection with the Manichaean Controversy
Categories: Christianity, Ethic, Religious Study, Theology
Author: Augustine
Narrator: Virtual Voice
Publisher: Appian Way Press
Release date: 01-31-2026
Language: English

Summary:
A penetrating account of one of early Christianity’s most decisive theological debates, written by a former insider turned its most careful critic This modernized edition brings together Augustine’s major anti-Manichaean writings, presenting his sustained engagement with a rival religious and philosophical system in clear contemporary English for students, pastors, and readers of classical Christian theology. These writings arise from Augustine’s long and personal involvement with Manichaeism, a movement he followed for years before his conversion to Catholic Christianity. As a result, his critique is shaped not only by formal theological argument, but also by an intimate knowledge of the system’s internal logic, moral claims, and intellectual appeal. Across these treatises, Augustine confronts the Manichaean vision of the world as a conflict between coeternal principles of light and darkness. He defends the unity and goodness of the Creator, the integrity of the material world, and the coherence of the biblical account of creation, while developing a sustained reflection on the nature of evil, human will, and moral responsibility. Several works in this volume engage Manichaean teachers and texts directly, offering detailed refutations grounded in Scripture and philosophical reasoning.

Title: The Shape of Staying

Categories: Animal, Biography, Biology, Outdoor, Science
Author: Kandice Sessions
Narrator: Devin Miller's voice replica
Publisher: Kandice Sessions
Release date: 01-29-2026
Language: English

Summary:
This book is a collection of essays about living alongside animals and paying attention to what that closeness quietly changes. It is not a guide to grief, training, or healing, and it does not offer conclusions or lessons meant to travel neatly from one life to another. These pieces move through openness, guardedness, woundedness, steadiness, and imprint, tracing how different animals carry their histories in their bodies and how those histories shape the people who love them. Some arrived easy and stayed easy. Others required patience, structure, or vigilance. Some altered the author’s nervous system so completely that their absence rearranged everything that followed. What remains is not a philosophy of care, but a record of presence. Of noticing without forcing. Of staying close without possession. Of learning that love does not always expand a life. Sometimes it narrows it, steadies it, or teaches you how to remain intact.

Author: Yassin Hamed
Narrator: Thomas A. Penny
Publisher: Nile Nova Creative House
Release date: 01-14-2026
Language: English

Summary:
A sister’s phone call from a war-torn village. A child’s drawing held up to a flickering screen. A homeland that still dares to call itself the Land of Good. A Field Divided: Voices of Sister, Sons, and Homeland is a poetic chronicle of Sudan’s recent war and its long shadows, told through three central poems and the reflections that surround them. In “Omzina: A Wound in Two Tobes”, a brother listens as his sister’s voice crosses miles of dust and silence. Through her, the poem speaks for Sudanese women who carry families, fields, and futures on their backs—wrapped in patience, endurance, and unspoken grief. In “Through the Screen”, a father in exile answers a video call from his sons. Their voices travel through pixels and light, and a child’s painting of war becomes testimony: roses missing from the jar, a teacher wiping away tears, a childhood marked not by games but by conflict. In “The Land of Good”, the poet turns directly to Sudan—a land wide and generous, yet narrowed by war and betrayal.

Language: English

Summary:
Inside one of America's most troubled periods of economic crisis, The Road From Nowhere, from master storyteller and Newbery medalist Avi, is both a tightly plotted adventure and a big-hearted tale of boyhood that explores what it means to put a name to the feelings we're taught to push down far into the earth. There's one road in Gatchett's Gluch—population forty-five—a silver mining town in the high Colorado desert. That means there's only one way in and one way out. Fourteen-year-old Ollie feels trapped and restless, desperate to find his own lode of silver, so he can gain riches and get his family out of the town. As the man of the house, he feels that's his job, just as his younger brother Gus's job is to ask question after question. Though Ollie is unwilling to admit it, he doesn't have all the answers. He can't even read, unlike Alys, the only girl and only friend he has outside of Gus. Meanwhile, a man who calls himself a geologist has arrived in town. Not only can he read books, he can read rocks, the first person that Ollie has ever seen who looks at rocks with fascination, not desperation.

Sprache: Deutsch

Zusammenfassung:
Der neue Roman von Thomas Pynchon Milwaukee, 1932: Amerika steckt in der Großen Depression, die Aufhebung der Prohibition steht kurz bevor, Al Capone sitzt im Knast. Hicks McTaggart, Privatdetektiv, nimmt einen Routinejob an: Er soll die ausgebüxte Erbin eines Käse-Fabrikanten ausfindig machen und nach Hause bringen. Doch unversehens findet er sich auf einem Ozeandampfer wieder und landet schließlich fern jedem Seehafen in Ungarn, wo eine Sprache wie von einem anderen Stern gesprochen wird und es genug Backwaren gibt, um einen Detektiv bis ans Lebensende zu versorgen, aber jede Spur von der flüchtigen Erbin fehlt. Als Hicks sie endlich gefunden hat, steckt er bis zum Hals in Verwicklungen mit Nazis, sowjetischen Agenten, britischen Gegenspionen, Swing-Musikern und Liebhabern paranormaler Praktiken. Der einzige Hoffnungsschimmer am Horizont: Es kündigt sich die große Zeit der Big Bands an, und zufällig ist Hicks ein ziemlich guter Tänzer. Ob das ausreicht, um im Lindy-Hop-Schritt nach Milwaukee und in die normale Welt zurückzukehren, die es vielleicht gar nicht mehr gibt, steht auf einem anderen Blatt.

Title: Aftershot: From Silence in Policing to Unstoppable Beyond PTSD
Categories: Abuse, Biography, Dysfunctional Family, Family
Author: Lana Boland
Narrator: Lana Boland
Publisher: Outspoken Publishing
Release date: 12-23-2025
Language: English

Summary:
AFTERSHOT is a call to conscience - an unflinching expose from inside a system that punishes the wounded, and silences the brave. Lana Boland was everything the badge claimed to honour: a loyal police officer, a high performer, a quiet fighter for what was right. Until the cost of staying silent nearly killed her. Moving beyond PTSD after enduring in-house abuse, institutional gaslighting, and a culture that protects image over integrity. Lana did what few survive, she told the truth anyway. This audiobook is the result. AFTERSHOT is not a memoir of pity. It is a battle tested manifesto. With clarity, fire, and an irreverent wit, Lana pulls back the curtain on what the policing does to its own - and what it takes to heal, when the system wants you broken. This is for the officers told to tough it out. For the women who were dismissed, degraded, and not believed. For anyone who has been told to sit down, and stay quiet - for the good of the “team.” She stood up. She paid the price. And now? She’s speaking - for all of us.

Title: Leaked Footages
Subtitle: African Poetry Book
Categories: Africa, Death, Fiction, Poetry
Author: Abu Bakr Sadiq
Narrator: Abu Bakr Sadiq
Publisher: University of Nebraska Press
Release date: 12-12-2025
Language: English

Summary:
Winner of the Sillerman First Book Prize for African Poets The poems in Leaked Footages carry urgent subjects, ranging from death to disappearance to grief to memory. Not only do the poems fulfill the tradition of witnessing often manifested in contemporary poets such as Garous Abdolmalekian and Ilya Kaminsky, but they extend that tradition by the medium through which they witness: the technical and the technological. Here, the camera, the closed-circuit TV, cinematographic techniques, and the cyborg are trusted for truth telling. Reality is represented in footage seen through the eyes of multifaceted speakers. In Abu Bakr Sadiq’s exploration of northern Nigeria in speculative poetry, the lyrical meets the chronicle. In this fusion of Afrofuturism with experimental poetic techniques, the reader witnesses a country ravaged by terrorism and the consequences of war, as well as the effects of these on those who survive. While the tone is grave with concern and conscience, the poems do not take the easy route of sentiment. Instead, attention is paid to structure—from the erasure poems that are informed by the theme of disappearance to the contrapuntal poems that are influenced by the testaments of leaving.

Summary:
In 2003, Army Cavalry Officer Second Lieutenant Ross Berkoff led his Scout Platoon from the legendary 10th Mountain Division on reconnaissance missions spanning over 10,000 miles across the perilous southern provinces of Kandahar and Helmand—the birthplace of the Taliban—during a nine-month deployment. After transitioning to Military Intelligence, Captain Berkoff returned to Afghanistan in 2006, again assigned to the 10th Mountain Division’s Light Cavalry. By then, the Taliban insurgency had grown in sophistication and deadly effectiveness. Beyond the Outpost: An Army Cavalry Officer’s War Diary on the Frontlines of Afghanistan, 2003–2007 is the first and only unfiltered daily chronicle from a junior officer’s perspective, documenting this volatile and formative early period of the U.S. Army’s 20-year campaign against the Taliban. In the two years following September 11, 2001, Taliban and Al Qaeda strongholds in Afghanistan were largely abandoned. Months of intense U.S. Special Forces raids and bombing campaigns successfully dislodged and disrupted large groups of enemy combatants. However, when the first U.S. Army Brigade Combat Teams deployed to Afghanistan, enemy tactics and momentum began to shift and intensify. Berkoff’s 2003 deployment marked Operation Enduring Freedom’s first use of Light Cavalry forces on the modern battlefield. His second deployment in 2006 supported U.S.

Narrator: Bernadine Bornman
Publisher: Maureen Skinner Smith
Release date: 12-05-2025
Language: English

Summary:
What happens when the love of your life is taken too soon—and in the search for healing, you stumble into the arms of the wrong man? Maureen Smith thought she had it all: a thriving business, a strong faith, a happy marriage, and the kind of love people dream about. But when cancer stole her husband away, her world shattered. Alone, grieving, and vulnerable, she found herself lured into a decade-long relationship with a charming man who seemed like salvation—until his mask slipped. On to the Next Victim is a raw, unflinching memoir about grief, trust, manipulation, and survival. From moonlit drives in classic cars to shocking betrayals, Maureen’s story exposes how easily one can be trapped by a con artist—and how courage, faith, and resilience can ultimately set you free. This is more than one woman’s story. It’s a lifeline for anyone who has ever loved, lost, and wondered if they’ll ever trust again.
