The Book of Dragons by Edith Nesbit audiobook.
Genre: fantasy
In The Book of Dragons, Edith Nesbit gathers a sparkling set of fantasy tales in which dragons are not distant legends but troublesome, tempting, and often very funny neighbors to the human world. Across these stories, curious children, stubborn adults, would-be heroes, and unlucky families stumble into encounters with beasts that breathe fire, freeze rivers, hoard treasure, or slip into everyday life in startling disguises. Each adventure begins with a small decision - a broken rule, a careless wish, a plan to be brave, or the belief that magic can be managed - and then follows the consequences as dragons upset households, kingdoms, and expectations. With her trademark blend of wit and warmth, Nesbit turns classic fairy-tale ingredients into something sharper and more surprising: courage is tested, cleverness matters as much as strength, and kindness can be as powerful as any sword. By turns mischievous and suspenseful, these stories invite listeners to delight in wonder while recognizing the hard truths beneath the enchantment: magic always has a price, and growing up often means learning which bargains to refuse.

The Trail of the Axe by Ridgwell Cullum audiobook.
Genre: adventure
Dave ran a lumber mill in western Canada. There are some workers within his organization who he trusts implicitly, some who he doesn't trust at all, and some who he is unsure about. But Dave is basically a trusting soul. Most of the folks in Malkern liked him, as he had been a major factor in shaping the village and in providing employment for a lot of the folks who lived in the area. Dave was not a pleasant site to look at; ungainly, not very attractive, yet he had a heart that was the antithesis of his lack of physical attractiveness.
Dave was a good friend to Betty, who had promised her hand in marriage to Jim Truscott, who was on leave from Malkern searching for gold in the Yukon territory to secure a future for himself and his bride-to-be. Truscott had asked Dave to watch over Betty during his absence, but when he returned from his fortune seeking expedition in the Yukon, Truscott was a changed man. He didn't seem the same personable Jim Truscott that Betty had promised herself to, and Dave was a bit suspicious of his personality alterations as well. Now, Betty had to decide whether to hold herself to her promise, and Dave had to determine whether or not he should also keep himself to the promise he had made to his friend.
There is plenty of action, suspense, and personal introspection combined with a love story in The Trail of the Axe, and many a surprise awaits every turn.

Last Days of Pompeii by Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton audiobook.
Genre: history
Last Days of Pompeii is a novel written by Edward Bulwer-Lytton in 1834. Once a very widely read book and now relatively neglected, it culminates in the cataclysmic destruction of the city of Pompeii by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
The novel uses its characters to contrast the decadent culture of first-century Rome with both older cultures and coming trends. The protagonist, Glaucus, represents the Greeks who have been subordinated by Rome, and his nemesis Arbaces the still older culture of Egypt. Olinthus is the chief representative of the nascent Christian religion, which is presented favorably but not uncritically.
