FREE/BARGAIN - Audiobooks - 2015

[skinmaan]

Trick or Treat? Treat - more Halloween goodies! Over at Big Finish you can get a free title from their "The Confessions of Dorian Gray" series. If you're interested in the appropriately-named "Trick or Treat" you can get it here.

London, October 31st. When Dorian finds himself alone on Hallowe’en, he’s content to shun the Trick or Treaters at his door… until something else starts knocking.

A free story for Hallowe’en from Big Finish Productions.

Hopefully this one lasts longer than Carmilla. Since I can't guarantee that, though, you might want to get it sooner rather than later.

Enjoy!

Speaking of Big Finish, here's another free Halloween story I added to the Halloween list yesterday. It's been free since last Halloween.

• FREE -- Big Finish -- Dark Shadows: Snowflake -- Joseph Lidster (15 min)

“It's this town. It's Collinsport. It's broken."

Victor Frost, a private investigator, is visiting Collinsport to find out whether the people there believe in ghosts.

After meeting many of the townsfolk, he's in no doubt that they do.

But will he survive to tell his tale?

A ghost story for Hallowe'en, from Big Finish Productions. The story is followed up in Dark Shadows - Bloodlust, the first episode of which can be found for free here.

'Twas the Night Before Christmas...

Courtesy of Jamie Anderson of Anderson Entertainment, and the wonderful voice of Denise Bryer, we have a free festive three-minute download for you, as Zelda gives her evil take on The Night Before Christmas. One for your Christmas playlists!

The list presented to me had a mix of genres and totaled 158 to choose form

Would 3 for 2 purchases count toward the 4 for $10 credit sale on 11/1?

It will likely depend on whether or not Audible sets the date range to avoid an overlap. Remember, we are going off memory (and history) to predict the B4G10 promo - they haven't actually announced it yet. They could set the dates so they don't overlap, or the left hand may not know what the right hand is doing and you'll be good if you wait.

My best advice would be if they have announced the dates of the 3-for-2 sale wait until the last day (but don't forget ). That'll give you at least have a chance to overlap.

I think they're cleverly running the 3-for-2 sale to get people to use up credits so we don't have them for the Buy 4 Get 10.

The current freebies are:

• Roman Holiday
• Christmas Present
• When a Child is Born

All three titles are currently free and show to be released on April 7, and are about an hour each. I don't know if they will be free after that date (heck I don't know if they will still be free in an hour) so if you are interested don't delay.

Also, the author has another short not in this series that is already available and free. If you are interested in "Little Donkey: A Short Story," it can be found here. This appears to be a Christmas-themed fiction, though not a Christian-themed book (I haven't read it, so I could be wrong).

Enjoy!

This month's ChristianAudio freebie:
Sex and Money: Pleasures That Leave You Empty and Grace That Satisfies

The Free Audiobook of the Month for November is Sex and Money by Pastor Paul Tripp. It grieves our Lord when there is sin in the church. Headlines of Christian leaders sinful failures in areas of sex and money create national news. Sex and Money by Pastor Paul Tripp was written to address these issues and provide clear biblical counsel in these areas. With thanks to our publishing partner Crossway, we believe this is a timely, relevant, and helpful audiobook.

They'd have a better chance of accomplishing this goal if they offered something decent in the 3-for-2 sale. Seems to me like they're always offering the same old books. Occasionally there's something different--but not often enough to interest me.

They never have anything I want in these sales, so I spend my credits as fast as I get them.

I'm waiting a little impatiently to see if Audible is running the "Buy 4, Get $10" promotion this month. I'll be finishing up my current listen today and unless an OverDrive hold comes through in a few hours, next up is a Whispersync purchase I'll make and I'd like it to count toward my four purchases.
