And Then the Town Took Off by Richard Wilson audiobook.

Genre: scifi

The town of Superior, Ohio, certainly was living up to its name! In what was undoubtedly the most spectacular feat of the century, it simply picked itself up one night and rose two full miles above Earth! Radio messages stated simply that Superior had seceded from Earth. But Don Cort, stranded on that rising town, was beginning to suspect that nothing was simple about Superior except its citizens. Calmly they accepted their rise in the world as being due to one of their local townspeople, a crackpot professor. But after a couple of weeks of floating around, it began to be obvious that the professor had no idea how to get them down. So then it was up to Cort: either find a way to anchor Superior, or spend the rest of his days on the smallest—and the nuttiest—planet in the galaxy!

Scaramouche by Rafael Sabatini audiobook.

Genre: adventure

Set in pre-revolutionary France, Scaramouche follows Andre-Louis Moreau, a sharp-tongued young lawyer of uncertain birth who believes he can stay above politics - until injustice forces him into the widening conflict between privilege and the people. When a nobleman kills Andre-Louis' friend and the courts offer no remedy, Andre-Louis is driven from his quiet provincial life into a perilous journey through radical pamphleteering, political agitation, and the dangerous spotlight of public debate. Hunted by powerful enemies and betrayed by shifting alliances, he discovers that wit can be a weapon, but survival demands reinvention. Taking refuge with a traveling theater troupe, Andre-Louis learns the art of performance and adopts the mask of Scaramouche, using the stage to hide in plain sight and to strike back with satire as France edges toward upheaval. Along the way he crosses swords and hearts with Aline de Kercadiou, whose loyalties and affections complicate his pursuit of justice, and he is repeatedly drawn into confrontation with the ruthless Marquis de La Tour d'Azyr. Swashbuckling action, romance, and political intrigue combine in a story about identity, courage, and the price of speaking truth to power.

More William by Richmal Crompton audiobook.

Genre: comedy

The second of Crompton's series of 39 books about William Brown, our cheeky 11 year-old protagonist. A hero to some, a dastardly villain to others, this book is structured round a year in his life. Starting with William waking up on Christmas morning and ending with him going to sleep the following Christmas Eve, there are the usual round of misadventures, misunderstanding and general mayhem in between. When a boy like William wakes up under a motto that says 'A Busy Day Is A Happy Day' alongside a copy of 'Things A Boy Can Do', the chaos is just around the corner. Includes the very first William short story - 'Rice Mould'. Often dismissed as children's literature, the first few books of William stories were probably aimed more at an adult audience. They resonate with a distinctly English humour, but there are obvious echoes from 'Tom Sawyer' and 'Huckleberry Finn'.
