The Begum's Fortune by Jules Verne audiobook.
Genre: scifi
A novel with some utopian elements, but primarily dystopian. A French doctor and a German professor both inherit a vast fortune as descendants of a French soldier who married the rich widow of an Indian prince. They both decide to go to America and establish their own 'ideal' society. Dr. Sarrasin, the French doctor, is focused on maintaining public health. He builds Ville-France. Professor Schultze, the German scientist, is a bit of a militarist and racist. He builds Stahlstadt and devotes his city to the production of ever more powerful weapons so that he can destroy Sarrasin's city. They manage to get the US to cede sovereignty to two cities so that the two newly rich men can create their utopia. The setting for Ville-France would place it on the Oregon Coast, near Bandon, Oregon. The location for the second city, Stahlstadt, is less clear, but the description would place it somewhere near Roseburg, Oregon

The Art of Conversation - Twelve Golden Rules by Josephine Turck Baker audiobook.
Genre: self help
In The Art of Conversation - Twelve Golden Rules, Josephine Turck Baker turns the everyday act of talking into a practical craft, showing how small choices in words, tone, and attention can shape friendships, social ease, and first impressions. Written as a lively back-and-forth between two characters, the book teaches by example: a poised conversational guide offers candid corrections while her companion tests each principle in real time, uncovering why certain habits charm and others quietly exhaust the room. Across twelve clear rules, Baker tackles common pitfalls and social anxieties: drowning listeners in needless detail, interrupting, contradicting over trivialities, turning every story into a monologue, or asking questions that feel intrusive or indifferent. She also champions the habits that make talk feel effortless and generous - choosing topics of mutual interest, listening with intention, speaking in harmony with the moment, quoting aptly without mangling meaning, and cultivating tact as the final, essential grace. Part etiquette manual and part character study, this classic guide invites listeners to practice conversation as an art of empathy, restraint, and genuine curiosity.

Bunny Brown and his Sister Sue at Camp Rest-a-While by Laura Lee Hope audiobook.
Genre: adventure
Bunny Brown and his little sister Sue are off for a new summertime treat: Camp Rest-a-While, a cheerful place in the woods where city worries feel far away and every day promises something to discover. With their warmhearted family close by, the two curious youngsters plunge into camp life - learning the rhythms of outdoor living, making new friends, and turning simple moments into big adventures. But the forest and the lakeside are full of surprises. Strange noises in the night, mix-ups that do not feel accidental, and a few stubborn misunderstandings test Bunny's quick thinking and Sue's brave, eager spirit. As the children explore cabins, trails, and the water's edge, they also begin to understand what it means to be responsible for others, to tell the truth even when it is hard, and to meet trouble with patience instead of panic. Light, lively, and filled with gentle humor, this classic story captures the fun of camp and the small mysteries that can make an ordinary summer feel unforgettable.
