The Airplane Boys among the Clouds by John Luther Langworthy audiobook.

Genre: adventure

In the early days of flight, cousins Frank and Andy Bird are the pride of Bloomsbury, and their friends Larry and Elephant can hardly believe their luck as they watch the boys test a new biplane over Sunrise Lake. For Frank and Andy, the sky is freedom - and a proving ground. A local rival, Percy Carberry, is eager to outdo them with his own machine, turning every public exhibition into a high-stakes contest of nerve and skill. But the danger is not limited to risky maneuvers and shifting winds. A mysterious gunshot and a whispering bullet close to the wings suggest that someone on the ground may want the Bird boys brought down. As storms gather around the rocky heights of Old Thunder Top and accidents threaten to turn competition into catastrophe, the young aviators must rely on quick judgment, mechanical know-how, and trust in each other to face threats from weather, terrain, and human jealousy. Packed with aerial stunts, narrow escapes, and frontier-style ingenuity, this classic adventure captures the wonder - and peril - of learning to live among the clouds.

The Untempered Wind by Joanna E. Wood audiobook.

Genre: drama

Set in a small Canadian village in the late 19th century, The Untempered Wind follows Myron Holder, a young woman forced to move through daily life under a cloud of scandal: she is a mother, but not a wife. With her child to protect and few allies to trust, Myron faces the relentless scrutiny of neighbors who measure virtue with quick tongues and hard rules. As spring stirs the town awake, Myron is pushed into a quiet battle for dignity, work, and a future that feels increasingly out of reach, especially when judgment comes not only from the streets but from within her own household. Joanna E. Wood paints village life in sharp, realistic detail, revealing how kindness and cruelty can sit side by side in ordinary routines, and how reputations can become cages. While Myron struggles against shame that is not entirely her own, she must decide what self-respect means in a world determined to define her by a single fact. At once intimate and socially observant, this is a story about endurance, moral hypocrisy, and the high cost of compassion withheld.

Walpole by John Morley audiobook.

Genre: biography

John Morley turns his sharp, humane intelligence to the life of Horace Walpole - Whig politician, tireless letter-writer, connoisseur, and the restless wit who helped define the tone of 18th-century English society. Moving between Parliament and drawing room, Morley follows Walpole as he navigates patronage and party intrigue, cultivates a reputation for brilliant observation, and builds Strawberry Hill, the fanciful villa that mirrors his taste for the theatrical and the antique. Along the way, Morley explores the friendships and rivalries that shaped Walpole's world, the moral compromises of fashionable politics, and the private anxieties behind a public pose of amused detachment. Walpole emerges as both witness and participant: a man who records his age with unmatched sparkle even as he struggles to commit himself to anything beyond style, caution, and control. Rich in historical atmosphere and literary insight, this is a portrait of personality set against a Britain of empire, scandal, and change - and a study of how wit can illuminate a century while also shielding a life.
