Did anyone here get any Tantor audiobooks yesterday?
Bummer. I tried to find something, but after browsing for at least an hour nothing grabbed me, and then I got sidetracked until it was too late. They had a couple things from my Goodreads wishlist, but they were through Audible and not part of the sale. Phooey.

Nothing for me. I find the website not overly user friendly for browsing and when I did think of stuff nearly always only part of a series was available as a download from them (they pointed to Audible for the rest). I may be weird, but I wanted to get a couple of series but only if I could get the entire thing. I did find something I wanted, but forgot to go back and get it until it was after midnight.

I had a Tantor account already so I just had to log in (thanks to whoever posted on Sunday about the upcoming sale). I bought the sequel to the Lies of Locke Lamora. I've bought some of their audiobooks through Audible. In the future I'll probably buy more Mark Tufo and Kim Harrison audiobooks from them, but I don't want to start any new series ATM.

Oh, stay away from the Devon Monk "Allie Beckstrom" series - they put out seven of nine...and have no intention to do the last two (per the author's website)!

That's even worse than having the series in different formats...IMO.

For those of you looking forward to the upcoming moving, Audible has a copy of the original short story "The Secret Life of Malter Mitty" by James Thurber available for free. Even better - it's read by Ben Stiller. It's short (15 minutes) but this is supposed to be a classic (or so I've been told). If you are interested it is available here.

Enjoy!

Mine didn't. That's because I never got anymore books. After browsing over the remaining $0.99 classics, I decided against spending real money on what was left.

I've got another one for all of you romance lovers. Well, sort of. Audible has "I'm Dreaming of an Undead Christmas" by Molly Harper. Available for pre-order. (It comes out tomorrow so you won't have to wait long.) Apparently this is a short story / novella that is part of a larger series called "Half-Moon Hollow." As you might guess in the title this is a vampire romance, so pick if up if you don't think that kind of thing sucks (sorry, couldn't resist). The title can be found here.

Enjoy!

Nothing here yet, or at least I can't find it even though they said I qualified.

I did a google search for "amazon: A Christmas Carol: A Signature Performance by Tim Curry" and it took me here: http://www.amazon.com/Christmas-Caro.../dp/B006B9Y3ES

That page had a Whispersync box with a link to the free Kindle book (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0084BMUFA/). When I bought the Kindle book, it asked me if I wanted to sync with the audio version and I said yes. It wasn't a normal purchase, but when I refreshed my Audible page, it showed the Tim Curry book in my library.

I don't switch between formats either, but it sounded like too a good a deal to pass up for free.

Me too! I was always going to go back and look for something toward the end of the sale and ended up forgetting completely! I have enough credits that it wouldn't have cost me any *more* out of pocket, so I'm especially sad that I missed it.

Thanks very much for that lead, and I got it.

Last heard by me when my English teacher read it to us in class when I was 16 years old; that was many, many years ago but was good enough to be remembered :-)

My turn to vent! Just got this in response to my email:
Quote:
Hello Susan

Thank you for contacting Audible. My name is Michael and I will gladly assist you.

I do apologize that you did not receive the sale and would like to thank you for attempting to participate in the special sales' event.

Concerning the November Listening Rewards Sale one of the requirements to enjoy the bonus that appeared on the sale promotion was to buy an Audiobook that had a regular price of $14.95 or more to be eligible for the 4 audiobook purchase minimum. This also appears in the bottom of the image that you sent as an attachment. Which is the promotion campaign: http://www.audible.com/mt/ListeningRewards

After checking your library I do see that there are several purchases during November but none of the books had the regular price of $14.95 or more, which is why the bonus did not appeared on your account.

Again my apologies for the misunderstanding, I hope this information is useful concerning your inquiry.

If I can do anything else for you, please don't hesitate to contact us by simply replying to this email.
You can also call us at our Customer Care 1-888-283-5051 (USA & Canada), 1-973-820-0400 (International) We are here to help 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
I just looked up all my purchases for the time of the promo and find 8 purchases with "regular price" more than $14.95. Yes, some were freebies and sales, but had a higher regular price. And, their own promo page said I earned the reward. If they weren't counting properly, that is not my fault!

Not impressed.
