It sounds something like what you're already thinking but maybe slightly more joyful? Then per your calculations if you just read one more Plus title in the month it will be a good deal.

Or a variation on this: Sign up for the full membership for $14.95, essentially getting a credit for $7 in addition to a month of plus.

Are we sure they'll be cycling books in and out? It sounds very possible but maybe many will stay on a more permanent basis. Quite a few of the ones that look good to me are branded as 'only from Audible' so maybe those are more likely to stick around. It will be annoying though if they do cycle books and ones that I had planned to read on Plus disappear.
I also just thought, if they do cycle they really should give warning well ahead of time on books cycling out. No one wants to be mid-read and have the book cycle out.

Do titles in the Audible Plus Catalog change or rotate?
Yes! New titles are added every week. If, for any reason, a title you have selected needs to be removed from the Audible Plus Catalog, you will be notified in the app.

I think it stands to reason that titles will be eliminated as others are added; only so many will be available at one time, although I’m sure some will turn out to be permanent. I do wonder about a warning for a book you’re listening to and if they’ll give you time to finish books you’ve started, and how long. Could you just start a whole bunch and then figure you can finish them at your leisure? I bet they go to a “no more than X number of borrows at a time” system to avoid this. I would hope it’s more than one, though. I don’t listen to more than two books at a time, but I frequently do that. I am right now, in fact.
