The Rockspur Eleven by Burt L. Standish audiobook.

Genre: drama

In The Rockspur Eleven, Burt L. Standish drops listeners into a turn-of-the-century football season where character is tested as hard as muscle. Don Scott wants nothing more than to help Rockspur win, but his quick temper and stubborn pride keep putting him at odds with teammates, rivals, and even the game itself. When a new, swaggering coach, Dolph Renwood, takes charge, practices turn harsher, expectations rise, and Don finds his resentment growing just as the schedule tightens. With the big games looming, Don's loyal friend Danny Chatterton tries to keep him grounded, while Don's father urges him to master the one opponent he cannot tackle on the field: his own anger.As Rockspur's eleven pushes toward its defining matchups, the boys face bruising competition, schoolyard politics, and moral pressure that reaches beyond playbooks and touchdowns. Rumors, mistakes, and a shadow of wrongdoing threaten to fracture the locker room, forcing Don to choose between defending his ego and protecting the team. Packed with brisk game action and old-school locker-room banter, this classic sports tale asks what it really means to be tough, fair, and worthy of the jersey.

The Lady of the Shroud by Bram Stoker audiobook.

Genre: adventure

When young Englishman Rupert Sent Leger inherits a fortune from an eccentric uncle, the will comes with conditions that pull him far from London society and into a rugged coastal land on the edge of Europe. Determined to claim his legacy and understand the strange charge entrusted to him, Rupert travels to the blue waters and steep mountains of the Balkans, where local unrest and international intrigue simmer just beneath the surface. There, in a lonely castle battered by sea winds and old legends, he encounters a veiled figure who appears only at night: a silent, captivating woman wrapped in a shroud, rumored to be something not quite living. Rupert's rational courage is tested as eerie rituals, secret passages, and whispered superstitions collide with very real dangers from spies, assassins, and rival powers watching the region. As Rupert tries to protect his newfound domain and the mysterious Lady who haunts it, he is drawn into a high-stakes struggle over identity, loyalty, and the future of a small nation fighting to define itself in a hostile world.

The Case of Miss Elliott by Baroness Emma Orczy ~ Full Audiobook [mystery] Dec 21, 2023

Show notes

The Case of Miss Elliott by Baroness Emma Orczy audiobook.

Genre: mystery

In Edwardian London, crimes that stump Scotland Yard become tea-room talk in an ABC shop off the Strand. There, a mild, unassuming figure known only as the Old Man in the Corner sits with a cup of tea, a length of string, and a talent for seeing what everyone else misses. When a sharp young journalist, often identified as Polly Burton, brings him fresh newspaper accounts and courtroom gossip, he listens, asks a few disarming questions, and then patiently reconstructs the truth from motive, timing, and the smallest contradictions. The Case of Miss Elliott gathers twelve of Baroness Emma Orczy's early detective tales, each built around a seemingly impossible puzzle: a death in a quiet Maida Vale street that raises the question of murder or suicide, a prized racehorse targeted by an insidious plot, stolen jewels in a high-society house full of guests, baffling disappearances, and scandals that ripple through drawing rooms and docks alike. As Polly tests his conclusions and bristles at his certainty, the Old Man spins elegant solutions that expose greed, desperation, and the fragile masks of respectability - all without leaving his chair.

The Artist by B. F. Gandee ~ Full Audiobook [self help] Dec 21, 2023

Show notes

The Artist by B. F. Gandee audiobook.

Genre: self help

First published in 1835, The Artist by B. F. Gandee is an art manual disguised as a friendly lesson book, inviting listeners into the drawing room where technique is taught through conversation, encouragement, and careful practice. The guide follows Charlotte as she tutors her cousin Ellen, moving step by step from foundational habits of hand and eye to the ornamental styles that fascinated early Victorian makers. Along the way, Gandee explains how to plan, prepare, and execute a variety of period methods, including Grecian painting, Japan painting, oriental tinting, mezzotinting, transferring, and inlaying, with practical advice on materials, surfaces, and common pitfalls. The instruction is geared toward creating decorative work that could be displayed at home or turned into attractive objects for bazaars and fancy fairs, making the book both a snapshot of nineteenth-century taste and a usable set of lessons for patient beginners. Part historical craft handbook and part gentle apprenticeship story, The Artist centers on discipline, experimentation, and the confidence that grows when practice starts to look like art.

The Case of the Lamp That Went Out by Auguste Groner ~ Full Audiobook [mystery] Dec 21, 2023

Show notes

The Case of the Lamp That Went Out by Auguste Groner audiobook.

Genre: mystery

In late-19th-century Vienna, an ordinary morning turns grim when a milk girl, Anna, discovers the body of a well-dressed man in an empty lot. With no clear witnesses and only a handful of puzzling traces, the case is handed to Joseph Muller, a quiet, dutiful member of the Imperial Austrian police whose unassuming manner hides a razor-sharp talent for reading people and details. As officialdom pressures the investigation toward easy answers, Muller follows a subtler trail: a nervous woman glimpsed at a garden gate, a household full of guarded servants, and a strange recollection from a night watchman - a red-shaded lamp in an upstairs window that was not simply blown out by the wind, but deliberately extinguished by a human hand. The vanished light becomes a doorway into a tangle of respectability, secrecy, and motive, where every polite conversation seems to conceal a fear, and every object in a room may be a message. Patient, methodical, and quietly stubborn, Muller must separate coincidence from design before the truth disappears into Vienna's shadows.

Guy Garrick by Arthur B. Reeve ~ Full Audiobook [mystery] Dec 20, 2023

Show notes

Guy Garrick by Arthur B. Reeve audiobook.

Genre: mystery

In early twentieth-century New York, private detective Guy Garrick makes his name by treating crime like a laboratory problem. With his loyal friend and assistant Tom Marshall at his side, Garrick is pulled into a baffling case that begins with a rich young man, Mortimer Warrington, reporting the theft of his prized automobile and quickly escalates into violence, intimidation, and a trail of clues that suggest the robbery is only the surface of something far bigger. As the police and an insurance investigator struggle to keep pace with a fast-moving underworld, Garrick applies emerging forensic methods and ingenious devices to test evidence, trace hidden connections, and expose the mechanisms of a motor-driven criminal ring. The investigation leads from respectable drawing rooms to backroom gambling, blackmail, and official corruption, where every witness seems compromised and every lead may be a trap. Blending brisk action with the excitement of new technology, Guy Garrick is a classic mystery of modernity arriving at street level, and a detective determined to prove that science can outthink the citys most ruthless operators.

The Heroic Life and Exploits of Siegfried the Dragon Slayer by Anonymous audiobook.

Genre: folklore

In The Heroic Life and Exploits of Siegfried the Dragon Slayer, an anonymous classic of Northern European legend, the young hero Siegfried rises from gifted outsider to figure of awe and fear. Tempered by hard training and a restless desire for glory, he leaves the safety of home to seek trials worthy of a song. His path leads to perilous wilderness, to the shadow of a monstrous dragon, and to treasure whose glitter promises power but carries a dangerous reputation. Marked by the consequences of his victories, Siegfried is drawn into the glittering world of kings and courts, where honor is performed as carefully as it is defended, and where a warrior's reputation can be weaponized by friends and foes alike. As he serves royal ambitions and pursues love, Siegfried must navigate rivalries, oaths, and schemes that test whether strength alone can secure lasting peace. Sweeping, swift, and mythic in tone, this tale explores courage, pride, loyalty, and the high cost of fame when heroic deeds collide with human jealousy and political intrigue.

Chicot the Jester by Alexandre Dumas ~ Full Audiobook [adventure] Dec 19, 2023

Show notes

Chicot the Jester by Alexandre Dumas audiobook.

Genre: adventure

In turbulent late-16th-century France, the court of King Henry III is a glittering stage where every smile can hide a dagger. Into this danger steps Chicot, the king's sharp-tongued jester - a fool by title, but a keen observer and fearless improviser by nature. While nobles posture and factions harden, Chicot slips between worlds: bantering in public, listening in private, and carrying messages that could topple alliances. With the Catholic League tightening its grip and the powerful Duke of Guise threatening the crown, the king needs more than soldiers - he needs someone who can move unnoticed, speak freely, and turn mockery into a weapon. As conspiracies multiply and the line between performance and deception blurs, Chicot is drawn into secret missions, perilous encounters, and tests of loyalty that place him squarely in the path of France's most ruthless ambitions. Alexandre Dumas blends swashbuckling momentum with political intrigue, showing how a man dismissed as comic relief can become the most dangerous player of all.
