Olive by Dinah Maria Craik audiobook.

Genre: romance

Born into a household that prizes beauty above kindness, Olive Rothesay enters the world marked by a slight deformity that makes her an object of shame rather than celebration. Rejected by her charming, self-absorbed mother, and later judged by a father who measures a daughter's worth by appearances, Olive grows up hungry for simple friendship and determined to earn the dignity others deny her. When family fortunes collapse, she and her mother are forced into a precarious new life in London, where unpaid debts, failing health, and hard necessity push Olive toward the only refuge that feels truly hers: work. Taken in among artists, she learns the discipline of the studio and fights for the right to be taken seriously, even as the world insists that a woman lacks genius and that a woman like Olive has no claim on love. As her talent and independence slowly take shape, Olive must decide what she owes to duty, what she dares to want for herself, and whether a guarded, wounded widower can see past what society cannot. Olive is a Victorian story of resilience, vocation, and the quiet courage of self-respect.

The Seven Sleuths Club by Carol Norton audiobook.

Genre: mystery

At Miss Demorest's Sunnyside Seminary, recreation breaks are filled with gossip, snowstorms, and big ideas - especially when spirited Merry Lee discovers that the local boys have their own secret detective society, the C.D.C., inspired by Conan Doyle. When the boys dismiss the notion that girls could ever solve mysteries, Merry and her friends do what they do best: band together. Their long-running S.S.C. - once the earnest Spread Sunshine Club - is reborn as the Seven Sleuths' Club, a lively sisterhood determined to prove its cleverness, uncover the boys' secrets, and find a real case worthy of their new name. Alongside quick-witted Peggy Pierce, kindhearted Gertrude, and the rest of the seven, Merry navigates school rules, sibling rivalries, and a swirl of schemes that range from charity parties to daring daytime investigations. Complicating everything is Geraldine Morrison, a wealthy new girl whose pride and polish make her an unlikely recruit - until unexpected happenings in Sunnyside begin to feel a little too suspicious to ignore. Warm, funny, and full of youthful daring, this classic middle-grade mystery celebrates friendship, confidence, and the thrill of following clues wherever they lead.

Afterward by Edith Wharton audiobook.

Genre: horror

In 'Afterward,' Edith Wharton turns a quiet domestic dream into a chilling question of moral debt. Mary and Ned Boyne, affluent Americans eager for a more settled life, purchase an old English country house called Lyng. The estate comes with atmosphere, history, and the kind of subtle folklore that their practical minds initially dismiss. When a neighbor mentions a local saying - that if anything uncanny happens at Lyng, it comes afterward - Mary treats it as a charming superstition, even as she takes pride in the peace and privacy they have finally secured. As the Boynes settle in, they host visitors, stroll the grounds, and speak with the confident ease of people who believe their past has been left behind. But small disruptions begin to accumulate: an unexpected caller, uneasy conversations, and a growing sense that someone is waiting to be recognized. With Wharton's hallmark psychological precision, the story tightens around the couple's marriage and their assumptions about what can be known - and what can be owed - until the past presses in through the ordinary fabric of everyday life.
