Dear Enemy by Jean Webster audiobook.

Genre: romance

In this witty, warm epistolary novel, Sallie McBride takes on a challenge most people would run from: becoming superintendent of the John Grier Home, a bleak, old-fashioned orphanage with a tight budget, stubborn traditions, and a board of trustees more interested in appearances than children. Sallie writes a lively stream of letters to her best friend Judy Abbott (now comfortably married), to Judy's husband Jervis, and to a handful of others who can help her survive the job - including the one correspondent she least expects to rely on: the sharp-tongued young doctor, Robin MacRae, whom she dubs her 'dear enemy.' As Sallie tries to replace rigid rules with humane care, she must navigate staff rivalries, skeptical benefactors, and the daily realities of raising dozens of lively, wounded, hopeful kids. Full of humor and heart, Dear Enemy blends social conscience with sparkling banter, tracing how small reforms, patient attention, and unexpected alliances can change an institution - and how a clash of opinions can slowly turn into something far more personal.

The Alaskan by James Oliver Curwood audiobook.

Genre: adventure

In the raw, ice-bright reaches of early-1900s Alaska, Mary Standish boards a northbound steamer with little more than a battered suitcase and a fierce need to outrun her past. Watching over her is Captain Rifle, a weathered old seaman who knows every treacherous channel and every kind of human desperation that rides the Alaskan coast. Waiting beyond the docks is Alan Holt, a hard-riding frontier landholder determined to defend his vast holdings and the people who depend on them from speculators and corrupt powerbrokers hungry for timber, gold, and influence. When a sudden tragedy on the voyage pulls Mary into the center of a widening struggle, her flight becomes a test of courage, trust, and survival. As Mary and Alan are drawn together, they are forced to navigate a wilderness where the law is far away, violence is close at hand, and the stakes include not only fortunes but the fate of the land itself. Sweeping, romantic, and fiercely grounded in the frontier spirit, The Alaskan pits love and conscience against greed in a country that demands everything from those who dare to claim it.

Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K. Jerome ~ Full Audiobook [comedy]

Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K. Jerome audiobook.

Genre: comedy

Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog), published in 1889, is a humorous account by Jerome K. Jerome of a boating holiday on the Thames between Kingston and Oxford.

The book was intended initially to be a serious travel guide, with accounts of local history of places along the route, but the humorous elements eventually took over, to the point where the serious and somewhat sentimental passages now seem like an unnecessary distraction to the essentially comic novel. One of the most praised things about Three Men in a Boat is how undated it appears to modern readers. The jokes seem fresh and witty even today.

The three men were based on Jerome himself and two real-life friends, George, and Harris. The dog, Montmorency, however, was entirely fictional, but, as Jerome had remarked, 'had much of me in it.'
