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.

Boys Book of Famous Soldiers by J. Walker McSpadden audiobook.

Genre: history

In Boys Book of Famous Soldiers, J. Walker McSpadden gathers a gallery of military lives into a brisk, story-driven introduction to the men who shaped famous campaigns and the eras around them. Written for young readers but engaging for anyone who likes clear, dramatic history, the book moves from one portrait to the next, sketching childhood influences, early ambitions, decisive moments of leadership, and the hard choices demanded by war. Each chapter sets its subject against a vivid backdrop of shifting nations, rival commanders, and battles where discipline, timing, and nerve matter as much as strength. McSpadden is less interested in dry timelines than in the human qualities behind reputation: courage under pressure, loyalty to comrades, the burdens of command, and the way victory can carry a cost. Along the way, the book invites listeners to weigh honor and ambition against the realities of conflict, asking what makes a soldier memorable after the smoke clears. The result is a lively, accessible tour through military history, told through the lives that defined it.

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.
