Prayers and Meditations by Samuel Johnson audiobook.
Genre: religion
Prayers and Meditations offers an intimate look into the private spiritual life of Samuel Johnson, the towering English writer and moralist best known for his essays, criticism, and dictionary. Drawn from his personal papers, these entries trace years of self-examination as Johnson faces recurring illness, grief, temptation, loneliness, and the relentless pressure of time. In plain yet powerful language, he records prayers for guidance and discipline, meditations on sin and mercy, and vows to reorder his days toward charity, study, and honest labor. The book is not a polished devotional manual so much as a candid diary of the soul: a brilliant, anxious mind wrestling with faith in the middle of ordinary obligations and extraordinary sorrow. As Johnson measures resolutions against failures, he returns again and again to themes of repentance, perseverance, and dependence on God, asking what it means to live well when strength and certainty falter. The result is a moving companion for listeners who value spiritual candor, moral seriousness, and the human struggle to align belief with daily life.

An American Robinson Crusoe by Samuel B. Allison audiobook.
Genre: adventure
Samuel B. Allison's An American Robinson Crusoe is a brisk, child-friendly retelling of Daniel Defoe's classic survival story, reshaped for American classrooms and young readers. It begins in New York City, where a restless boy named Robinson Crusoe would rather roam the streets and watch the ships on the Hudson than study for the future his parents imagine for him. Drawn by tales of distant coasts and strange creatures, he chases adventure at sea, only to be swept into disaster when the voyage turns deadly. Cast onto a deserted island with little more than his wits, Robinson must learn to make shelter, find food, protect himself from the elements, and turn loneliness into routine. Each hard-won solution becomes a lesson in ingenuity and perseverance, tracing, step by step, how a careless, rebellious youth can be remade by responsibility and work. Part adventure, part quiet study of self-reliance, this adaptation emphasizes practical problem-solving, the gradual building of tools and habits, and the long fight to remain hopeful when the world has gone silent.

A Daughter of Today by Sara Jeannette Duncan audiobook.
Genre: drama
In late-Victorian London and Paris, Elfrida Bell is determined to become more than a well-bred ornament. Brilliant, restless, and fiercely self-aware, she styles herself a modern woman of letters and art, chasing recognition in magazines, salons, and studios while measuring herself against the people who seem effortlessly at home in the world she wants to conquer. As Elfrida forms intense friendships and rivalries with writers, artists, and patrons, she learns that ambition comes with a cost: money is scarce, reputations are fragile, and the line between sincerity and performance can blur in the very circles that promise freedom. Sara Jeannette Duncan follows Elfrida through cramped rooms, glittering parties, and hard-won professional opportunities, capturing the hunger to create, the sting of criticism, and the complicated negotiations of love, independence, and belonging. Sharp, observant, and emotionally incisive, A Daughter of Today is a portrait of a young woman testing the limits of her talent and her era, as she tries to decide what success should look like - and what she is willing to sacrifice to claim it.
