I know that I posted the GooglePlay audiobook offer, but I'm beginning to think that looking for a good deal using the vouchers is a colossal waste of time. I was similarly-minded with the last $5 off on an ebook offer that I got from them. After looking probably 2 or 3 hours looking to find a good deal, I gave up, and let that $5 go. It _seems_ that Google Play has it rigged to where even if you use their voucher, you're still going to pay for an audiobook about what you would pay at Audible for it.

Here's one deal that looked good, however, and I grabbed it for myself. Audible has C.S. Lewis' _Reflections on the Psalms_ for $5.95. So does GooglePlay, but with the $5 off, the audiobook ends up being only $1.95 there.

Some quick information: the _ebook_ is rated 4.2/5 at Amazon (most of the lower ratings have nothing to do with the content of the book). It is rated 3.93/5 at GoodReads (a good rating from that bunch). The ebook has 184 pages., which translates into 3 hours and 40 minutes of listening time.

I'll probably listen to this audiobook tonight, when I go to bed, and before I start sawing logs.
