Publisher's Summary:

Following the acclaimed Secrets of The Talking Jaguar and Long Life, Honey in the Heart, this is an expansive, lyrical novel in the tradition of indigenous oral storytelling. Based on the author's many years of living in a Guatemalan village, Stealing Benefacio's Roses interweaves dramatic recountings of village life and the political horrors of civil war with lyric retellings of sacred Mayan myths. The story shifts expertly from timeless, with archetypal characters like Raggedy Boy and the goddess known as the Water-Skirted Beauty, to timely in the book's striking first-person narrative set in the 1980s. Prechtel shows how ancient myths can become a part of life for everyone and help nurture spiritual survival in the modern world. Though it comes third in sequence with the author's other two books, Stealing Benefacio's Roses also stands on its own as a classic work of spiritual seeking and adventure.

Publisher's Summary:

A wartime family saga, perfect for fans of Rosie Goodwin and Val Wood   Shaftesbury, 1936.   Mansfield House Hotel has been a refuge for Emily ever since she was orphaned at the age of 16.

But knowing she'd never leave her fiancé, he hatches a plan to get Emily away from Tom.  Six years later, Emily has made a name for herself as 'The Bristol Songbird'. Her love for Tom is still as strong as ever, but she's not heard from him since that fateful night so long ago.

Title: A Prophet Without Honor

Author: Joseph Wurtenbaugh

Narrator: Eric Jason Martin

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 19 hours 11 minutes

Release date: December 7, 2021

Genres: LGBTQ+

Publisher's Summary:

In the first months of 1936, Adolf Hitler risked everything by ordering his untrained military to reoccupy the Rhineland. It was a bluff. The Germans would have been forced to retreat if the French or British had offered the slightest opposition. But the bluff succeeded. History changed decisively. Hitler quieted the opposition at home, and marched the world relentlessly on, to the edge of destruction and beyond. A Prophet Without Honor examines that lost chance in detail. The result is a compelling story full of intrigue, danger, romance, and action, culminating in the reckoning that Hitler might have faced, had events taken a different course. It's a hugely entertaining story, written in epistolary style (though journal entries, letters, excerpts from biographies, etc.) with a richly textured sense of time and place.

Author: Becky Marietta

Narrator: Gail Shalan

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 10 hours 10 minutes

Release date: December 7, 2021

Genres: LGBTQ+

Publisher's Summary:

In 1906, fifteen-year-old Forrestina Bradley runs away from her stifling life of ease and joins the circus as a tightrope walker. After a tragedy forces her to leave the circus, she embarks on a life of nomadic adventure, running a carnival rat-game and becoming involved in an illegal dance hall and moonshine business near the banks of the White River in Arkansas during Prohibition. Along the way, she meets and loves three men—Max, Jack, and George—who each break her heart in vastly different ways. It’s a good thing that Forrestina is tough enough to survive the men in her life. Tough enough to become a legend. In 1972, Betty, a young reporter desperate to break into the boys' club of journalism, offers to interview the now-elderly Forrestina. What she discovers in Forrestina's story is a lesson of strength, resilience, friendship, and faith. She learns that though defying normal is often painful, for some brave souls it's the only way to truly live. Inspired by a true story, White River Red: A Novel vividly portrays the tumults and triumphs of a rough, generous soul who touched countless lives with her kindness and courage.

Publisher's Summary:

FOUR JOHNSTONE WEDDINGS—AND A FUNERAL If anyone can get a shipment of brides to the church on time, it's Bo Creel and Scratch Morton. But this time, they'll have to cross hell and high water to escort four marriage-bound beauties to a remote gold mining town in Alaska. The brides-to-be include a dangerously attractive widow, her sweet-hearted niece, and two of their friends. The roadblocks to the altar include a lecherous saloon owner, a lovesick sailor, and a gang of hired guns. And that's just for starters . . . The real trouble begins when they reach the Alaskan boomtown. It's a hotbed of gold and greed, as wild as any Texas frontier. It's clear to Bo and Scratch that the ladies' 'eligible bachelors' are definitely not as advertised. But—to Bo and Scratch's surprise—neither are their mail-order brides. Before anyone starts exchanging vows and tossing rice, this gold-hungry wedding party will be swapping lead. And the RSVPs will be RIPs . . .

Title: [Spanish] - El monasterio (Trilogía Medieval 3)

Author: Luis Zueco

Narrator: Nacho Béjar

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 13 hours 47 minutes

Release date: November 18, 2021

Genres: LGBTQ+

Publisher's Summary:

Un thriller histórico de máximo suspense ambientado entre los muros de uno de los monasterios medievales más impresionantes de España. Tercera entrega de la aclamada Trilogía Medieval de Luis Zueco. El monasterio de Santa María de Veruela aspiraba a ser una ciudad celeste, reflejo del reino de los cielos… pero sus muros fueron testigos de historias de ambición, traición y venganza. En el siglo XIV es escenario de una cruenta guerra entre las coronas de Castilla y Aragón. Hasta allí llega Bizén con una misión: recuperar los restos que yacen en una de sus tumbas, algo a lo que el abad se niega. Pero cuando uno de los hermanos de la abadía aparece misteriosamente asesinado, Bizén se verá implicado en una muy peligrosa intriga… Porque si no encuentra al culpable, su propio secreto será descubierto. La crítica ha dicho sobre El monasterio... «La ambientación espacio-temporal, una vez más, es magnífica. Luis Zueco es un maestro a la hora de describir escenarios y de situar sus novelas en el tiempo y en espacio, trasladando allí al lector.» Libros que hay que leer «Con El monasterio (2018), Zueco ha logrado dar un paso más adelante y crear una obra redonda, con un ritmo endiablado. Donde, como siempre, logra conjugar el suspense, la historia, las batallas, intrigas; con unas tramas apasionantes y unos diálogos afilados y para enmarcar.» Novelashistóricas.com «Una novela que no hay que dejar escapar. Comparada con las anteriores, El castillo y La ciudad, mantiene la tónica de calidad.» Anika entre libros La crítica ha dicho sobre el autor y sus obras anteriores, El Castillo y La Ciudad... «La mejor novela histórica de 2015.» Novelas Históricas «En la estela de Los pilares de la tierra y La catedral del mar.» La Vanguardia «Si uno quiere trasladarse a la Edad Media, el castillo de Loarre es la mejor máquina del tiempo.» El Mundo «¡Recomendadísima!» Librería General «Hace mil años se erigió en el Pirineo aragonés una colosal fortaleza. Luis Zueco novela cómo se llevó a cabo esta proeza y da respuesta a algunos enigmas aún sin resolver.» ABC «Sus páginas están repletas de peripecias, de idilios y de lances bélicos.» Heraldo de Aragón «Una extraordinaria novela.» SER «Una de las novelas históricas con más enganche.» 20 minutos «Una novela que pone en valor una de nuestras joyas patrimoniales: Loarre.» El Periódico de Aragón «La novela histórica más impactante del año.» Librería Serret Llibres «Mezcla los datos históricos con tramas de mucha intriga, como si de un thriller se tratase.» El Placer de la Lectura «Magnífica ambientación.» Entre mis libros y yo «Uno de los escritores de novela histórica más importante del país. Mezcla sabiamente personajes históricos con otros ficticios, dando a la trama una tensión trepidante.» Todo Literatura «Un trepidante thriller histórico. La Historia aquí no es mero paisaje, sino que es elemento de suspense.» 20 minutos «Si la primera obra que escribió Zueco de esta trilogía, El castillo, ambientada en el de Loarre (Huesca), es una novela puramente histórica, este segundo libro, La ciudad, incorpora al rigor histórico el thriller.» La Vanguardia
