Perhaps performed at different times in her career? Some narrators can differ a lot in quality from performance to performance.

I didn't know people did that.

I like Simon Vance. Listening to him right now.

Aww my $10 credit seems to have expired. Had $7 still and there's a couple books thanks to the sale I wanted too.

You might try calling Audilbe. Just a couple of days ago my daughter mentioned she had some expire a while back. She called and they gave it back to her, as a one time deal. Told her to be more careful in the future.

I got three books from the sale. I hope to listen to them while in physical therapy

I used my $10 credit and ending up spending $ .89

Jessica Lares · 08-27-2014, 08:40 PM

I got a few that were on my wish list. I was afraid of my $10 credit expiring too, so I used it right away with my Kindle matches.

I spent my last $10 credit at the end of July. Now I have a $20 credit to spend. I tried to quit my 3 month $1.95 promo yesterday and they waived $20 in front of me to stay on. Pity they don't sell bananas.

Will do, thanks for the tip.

I did the same thing last week. And spent the $20 already on 6 audiobooks from the sale plus a few WfV matches for Kindle Unlimited books.

Yah, I lost out on my first free $10, so I've spent all but $1.05 of my second one.

Random House Audio freebie: Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O'Dell.

Requires newsletter sign-up and, based on past offers, probably requires a Facebook account. The blurb says the offer ends September 30, 2014 at 10:59 AM ET, but I suspect they meant to say August 30.

Cool! Thanks for the heads-up.

I used one of my audible credits to get this a while ago (I used them for longer tomes, and for ones I thought I might return to in the future.)

I cannot say enough good things about this story. There are faults, it's not perfect by any means. But a great story (mostly) well told. I won't bore the board with a review, but if you have even the slightest interest, go ahead and do it.

Last Minute Offer -- exp Fri 29 Aug at 11:59pm PT

Free Coupon for Two Months of Audiobooks from Audible

Claim Offer by 29 Aug 2014
Redeem Offer by 12 Sep 2014

Sorry for the very short notice on this offer, but I just discovered it at Amazon Local. I scan it frequently looking for book offers and it wasn't there. Today, I scanned it while signed out of Amazon and it was there. Evidently, Amazon filters out offers you're not eligible for (and I'm not eligible for this offer). In the future, I plan to scan it while signed out.
