An intimate, powerful, and inspiring memoir by the former First Lady of the United States
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER -- OPRAH'S BOOK CLUB PICK -- NAACP IMAGE AWARD WINNER
In a life filled with meaning and accomplishment, Michelle Obama has emerged as one of the most iconic and compelling women of our era. As First Lady of the United States of America-the first African American to serve in that role-she helped create the most welcoming and inclusive White House in history, while also establishing herself as a powerful advocate for women and girls in the U.S. and around the world, dramatically changing the ways that families pursue healthier and more active lives, and standing with her husband as he led America through some of its most harrowing moments. Along the way, she showed us a few dance moves, crushed Carpool Karaoke, and raised two down-to-earth daughters under an unforgiving media glare.
In her memoir, a work of deep reflection and mesmerizing storytelling, Michelle Obama invites readers into her world, chronicling the experiences that have shaped her-from her childhood on the South Side of Chicago to her years as an executive balancing the demands of motherhood and work, to her time spent at the world's most famous address. With unerring honesty and lively wit, she describes her triumphs and her disappointments, both public and private, telling her full story as she has lived it-in her own words and on her own terms. Warm, wise, and revelatory, Becoming is the deeply personal reckoning of a woman of soul and substance who has steadily defied expectations-and whose story inspires us to do the same.

Inhalt: 'All trails became dead-ends. Tips that had at first seemed urgent now faded away. The waiting game began. Whoever had the manuscripts would want money, and a lot of it. They would surface eventually, but where and when, and how much would they want?'
The most daring and devastating heist in literary history targets a high security vault located deep beneath Princeton University. Valued at $25 million (though some would say priceless), the five manuscripts of F. Scott Fitzgerald's only novels are amongst the most valuable in the world. After an initial flurry of arrests, both they and the ruthless gang of thieves who took them have vanished without trace.
Dealing in stolen books is a dark business, and few are initiated to its arts - which puts Bruce Kable right on the FBI's Rare Asset Recovery Unit's watch list.
A struggling writer burdened by debts, Mercer Mann spent summers on Florida's idyllic Camino Island as a kid, in her grandmother's beach cottage. Now she is being made an offer she can't refuse: to return to the peace of the island, to write her novel - and get close to a certain infamous bookseller, and his interesting collection of manuscripts.

Inhalt: The second book in the highly acclaimed crime fiction series by J.K. Rowling, writing under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith. Ein neuer Fall für Cormoran Strike Als der Romanautor Owen Quine spurlos verschwindet, bittet seine Frau den privaten Ermittler Cormoran Strike um Hilfe. Es ist nicht das erste Mal, dass Quine für einige Tage abgetaucht ist, und sie möchte, dass Strike ihn findet und nach Hause zurückbringt. Doch schon zu Beginn seiner Ermittlungen wird Strike klar, dass mehr hinter Quines Verschwinden steckt, als seine Frau ahnt. Der Schriftsteller hat soeben ein Manuskript vollendet, das scharfzüngige Porträts beinahe jeder Person aus seinem Bekanntenkreis enthält. Sollte das Buch veröffentlicht werden, würde es Leben zerstören zahlreiche Menschen hätten also allen Grund, Quine zum Schweigen zu bringen. Als Quine tatsächlich tot aufgefunden wird, brutal ermordet unter bizarren Umständen, beginnt ein Wettlauf gegen die Zeit, um das wahre Motiv des skrupellosen Mörders aufzudecken eines Mörders, wie Strike ihm noch nie zuvor begegnet ist Absolut fesselnd und voller unerwarteter Wendungen: Der Seidenspinner ist der zweite Roman der hochgelobten Krimiserie um den Ermittler Cormoran Strike und seine entschlossene junge Assistentin Robin Ellacott. (3 mp3-CDs, Laufzeit: 16h)
When novelist Owen Quine goes missing, his wife calls in private detective Cormoran Strike. At first, she just thinks he has gone off by himself for a few days - as he has done before - and she wants Strike to find him and bring him home. But as Strike investigates, it becomes clear that there is more to Quine's disappearance than his wife realises. The novelist has just completed a manuscript featuring poisonous pen-portraits of almost everyone he knows. If the novel were published it would ruin lives - so there are a lot of people who might want to silence him. And when Quine is found brutally murdered in bizarre circumstances, it becomes a race against time to understand the motivation of a ruthless killer, a killer unlike any he has encountered before. A compulsively readable crime novel with twists at every turn, The Silkworm is the second in the highly acclaimed series featuring Cormoran Strike and his determined young assistant Robin Ellacott.

Inhalt: The wealthy and beautiful heiress Linnet Ridgeway is overjoyed: she and Simon Doyle have just got married and are now honeymooning on board a Nile cruiser. One morning, however, Linnet is found dead in her cabin - murdered. A chance would have it, one of the fellow passangers is master sleuth Hercule Poirot and he immediately begins to investigate the murder.
Inhalt: In this lyrical, unsentimental, and compelling memoir, the son of a black African father and a white American mother searches for a workable meaning to his life as a black American. It begins in New York, where Barack Obama learns that his father - a figure he knows more as a myth than as a man - has been killed in a car accident. This sudden death inspires an emotional odyssey - first to a small town in Kansas, from which he retraces the migration of his mother's family to Hawaii, and then to Kenya, where he meets the African side of his family, confronts the bitter truth of his father's life, and at last reconciles his divided inheritance.

Inhalt: No matter how much critics and readers love him, Connelly's Harry Bosch is definitely a downer. To catch the spirit of the popular series without sending listeners leaping out of their windows requires an unusually talented reader, who can take the tiny shreds of light the author sprinkles very sparingly through his dark and bloody outings and turn them into veritable bonfires. Fortunately, Cariou is a veteran of four previous Bosch audios who knows his man down to his obsessive socks. Cariou can also do Connelly's normal, only semidepressed supporting characters with grace and depth: Harry's female partner, other cops with mixed motives, crooked lawyers, on-the-make politicians, even a convicted serial killer trying to escape the death penalty by reopening one of Bosch's old wounds. Cariou, of course, can't remove Harry's guilt or ease his obsessions: he's an actor, not a therapist. But his talent adds a Prozac-like sense of ease not to be taken lightly.
When Sarah meets Eddie, they connect instantly and fall in love. To Sarah, it seems as though her life has finally begun. And it's mutual: It's as though Eddie has been waiting for her, too. Sarah has never been so certain of anything. So when Eddie leaves for a long-booked vacation and promises to call from the airport, she has no cause to doubt him. But he doesn't call.
Sarah's friends tell her to forget about him, but she can't. She knows something's happened--there must be an explanation.
Minutes, days, weeks go by as Sarah becomes increasingly worried. But then she discovers she's right. There is a reason for Eddie's disappearance, and it's the one thing they didn't share with each other: the truth. Schlagworte:Beziehung, Liebe, Lüge, Lügen Systematik: Engl.

From Harper Lee comes a landmark new novel set two decades after her beloved Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece, To Kill a Mockingbird .
Maycomb, Alabama. Twenty-six-year-old Jean Louise Finch - 'Scout' - returns home from New York City to visit her ageing father, Atticus. Set against the backdrop of the civil rights tensions and political turmoil that were transforming the South, Jean Louise's homecoming turns bittersweet when she learns disturbing truths about her close-knit family, the town and the people dearest to her.

John Grisham has a n ew hero ... and she's full of surprises
The year is 2008 and Samantha Kofer's career at a huge Wall Street law firm is on the fast track-until the recession hits and she gets downsized, furloughed, escorted out of the building. Samantha, though, is one of the "lucky" associates. She's offered an opportunity to work at a legal aid clinic for one year without pay, after which there would be a slim chance that she'd get her old job back.
In a matter of days Samantha moves from Manhattan to Brady, Virginia, population 2,200, in the heart of Appalachia, a part of the world she has only read about. Mattie Wyatt, lifelong Brady resident and head of the town's legal aid clinic, is there to teach her how to "help real people with real problems." For the first time in her career, Samantha prepares a lawsuit, sees the inside of an actual courtroom, gets scolded by a judge, and receives threats from locals who aren't so thrilled to have a big-city lawyer in town. And she learns that Brady, like most small towns, harbors some big secrets.
Her new job takes Samantha into the murky and dangerous world of coal mining, where laws are often broken, rules are ignored, regulations are flouted, communities are divided, and the land itself is under attack from Big Coal. Violence is always just around the corner, and within weeks Samantha finds herself engulfed in litigation that turns deadly.

Inhalt: Im Haus von Sir Thomas Bertram, Herr auf Mansfield Park, sind nicht weniger als drei potentielle Ehekandidatinnen - Maria, Julia und Fanny - an den Mann zu bringen. Während jedoch Maria und Julia aus den Chancen, die ihnen reiche Mitgift und vornehme Erziehung verschaffen, nur wenig zu machen verstehen, bewährt sich Fanny, die von ihnen wenig geschätzte Cousine, in der Krise. Dank ihres natürlichen, stets hilfsbereiten Wesens und ihrer unverbildeten Intelligenz gewinnt sie schließlich das Herz des Mannes, den sie im Stillen lange ohne Hoffnung liebte.

Inhalt: Ein schmuckes Herrenhaus mit Park und Stallungen in der stillen Landschaft von Northamptonshire: das ist "Mansfield Park", der Schauplatz dieses bewegten Familienromans. Im Kreis ihrer begüterten Verwandten hat die scheue Fanny kein leichtes Leben. Doch triumphiert zuletzt Charakterstärke über Geltungssucht, und Treue zu sich selbst wird in reichem Maße belohnt. In hochsommerlicher Hitze bricht eine Gruppe ausgelassener junger Menschen zu einem Reitausflug auf. Freunde sind zu Besuch im herrschaftlichen "Mansfield Park", und die Söhne und Töchter des Hauses wollen den Gästen die reizvolle Umgebung zeigen. Einzig zurück bleibt wie so oft die stille Fanny. Als Kind verarmter Verwandter kann sie sich glücklich schätzen, bei den wohlhabenden Bertrams Aufnahme gefunden zu haben. Doch immer wieder bekommt sie zu spüren, dass man sie nicht als ebenbürtiges Mitglied der Familie betrachtet. Jane Austens vierter Roman zeigt einen Wandel im Schaffen der großen englischen Autorin an. Der Kreis der Personen weitet sich, und das Augenmerk der Autorin gilt vermehrt auch der Darstellung unterschiedlicher sozialer Milieus. Das dichte Beziehungsgeflecht zwischen den Personen ist aufs kunstvollste gewoben. Die Charakterschilderungen erreichen ein Höchstmaß an Verfeinerung und Nuanciertheit. Dem bunten Reigen der Eitelkeiten, die Jane Austen mit gewohnt treffsicherer Ironie entlarvt, setzt sie mit Fanny eine fast unscheinbare Heldin entgegen. Dank ihrer Menschenkenntnis und Standfestigkeit entpuppt diese sich als prägende Figur des populären, mehrfach verfilmten Romans.
Everywhere Katie Brenner looks, someone else is living the life she longs for, particularly her boss, Demeter Farlowe. Demeter is brilliant and creative, lives with her perfect family in a posh townhouse, and wears the coolest clothes. Katie's life, meanwhile, is a daily struggle-from her dismal rental to her oddball flatmates to the tense office politics she's trying to negotiate. No wonder Katie takes refuge in not-quite-true Instagram posts, especially as she's desperate to make her dad proud.
Then, just as she's finding her feet-not to mention a possible new romance-the worst happens. Demeter fires Katie. Shattered but determined to stay positive, Katie retreats to her family's farm in Somerset to help them set up a vacation business. London has never seemed so far away-until Demeter unexpectedly turns up as a guest. Secrets are spilled and relationships rejiggered, and as the stakes for Katie's future get higher, she must question her own assumptions about what makes for a truly meaningful life.
Sophie Kinsella is celebrated for her vibrant, relatable characters and her great storytelling gifts. Now she returns with all of the wit, warmth, and wisdom that are the hallmarks of her bestsellers to spin this fresh, modern story about presenting the perfect life when the reality is far from the truth.
