Head Start - Free Audiobooks from Guardian UK
The Guardian (a UK newspaper) is once again giving away audiobooks as part of their Head Start program. The first free audiobook in the series is Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia, by Elizabeth Gilbert. You'll need an account with AudioGo, but should not need to enter any credit card info (you don't even have to be from the UK or ROI, even if that is what it says on the Guardian's page)
Book Description This beautifully written, heartfelt memoir touched a nerve among both readers and reviewers. Elizabeth Gilbert tells how she made the difficult choice to leave behind all the trappings of modern American success (marriage, house in the country, career) and find, instead, what she truly wanted from life. Setting out for a year to study three different aspects of her nature amid three different cultures, Gilbert explored the art of pleasure in Italy and the art of devotion in India, and then a balance between the two on the Indonesian island of Bali. By turns rapturous and rueful, this wise and funny author (whom Booklist calls “Anne Lamott’s hip, yoga- practicing, footloose younger sister”) is poised to garner yet more adoring fans. Get the free Audiobook from The Guardian UK. You'll need to enter a name and email address, click to submit the info, then click a link that takes you to AudioGo; be sure to note the coupon code on that page, as you'll need it to get the book for free. Once at Audiogo, click on the ad, then click Checkout; log in (or create an account), then enter the promotional Code and click Update. Don't click on Continue until after you've confirmed that a total of $0.00/£0.00 is shown. Once you've added the audiobook to your account, you can download at any time (I'd expect download times to be very slow this week). Tomorrow's book will be Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert Pirsig. The link is live now, but you can't sign up until it's Tues in the UK. |

This is the 10th book I've gotten from them, and it was the first time I was told I couldn't download to my area. I didn't even enter an address, just flipped from US to UK, then it worked. Hate to fib, but, geesh...

Today: Sophie's World
http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandsty...world-download Note: the audiogo link is missing "s" at end of "Sophie" - you have to add it to get to order page. ETA: Audiogo corrected their site and now the wrongly spelled link is working, so you no longer have to add an "s" to the URL to get it to work (in fact, now the correct spelling goes nowhere).
