It's a little bit more expensive than most Audible Daily Deals, but it's got good "bang for the buck" (non-Americans, replace that with your favorite synonymous idiom) with 13.1 hours playing time.

Astronomy is one of my casual interests. This is a definite must-buy for me. Thanks for posting it.

Y'all are quite welcome

Charles Dickens' Whispersync Collection

February is the birth month of Charles Dickens, so I'm compiling a list of his works that are Whispersync for Voice-ready. The Kindle ebooks are free ~ $2.99 each and the matching Audible audiobooks are $0.99 ~ $2.99 each. It's important to note that there are frequently multiple versions of both the ebooks and audiobooks at varying prices for these Whispersync offers. In order to get a particular price point, you must order the specific ebook first and then you'll be linked to the matching audiobook. Before clicking the "Buy now with 1-Click" button, check the box below it marked "Add Audible narration to your purchase for just $x.xx".

Charles John Huffam Dickens (/ˈtʃɑːrlz ˈdɪkɪnz/; 7 February 1812 – 9 June 1870) was an English writer and social critic. He created some of the world's best-known fictional characters and is regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. His works enjoyed unprecedented popularity during his lifetime, and by the twentieth century critics and scholars had recognised him as a literary genius. His novels and short stories enjoy lasting popularity.

Born in Portsmouth, Dickens left school to work in a factory when his father was incarcerated in a debtors' prison. Despite his lack of formal education, he edited a weekly journal for 20 years, wrote 15 novels, five novellas, hundreds of short stories and non-fiction articles, lectured and performed extensively, was an indefatigable letter writer, and campaigned vigorously for children's rights, education, and other social reforms.

Bryn Halbrook had always seen the glow on the people around her. And she knows all too well what psychiatrists do to people who claim impossible powers. She's always stayed below the radar, but when she discovers the meaning of the beautiful auras, she's not sure why she was cursed with the ability to see the soon-to-be-dead and be unable to do anything about it.
But Bryn is on the brink of the unbelievable truth - she is a creature from myth. Valkyrie- a warrior maiden of the God Odin. And a Collector of Souls.

Aidan Lee just can't do what he's told. Visiting Craven was not supposed to be a time to fall in love. He's just helpless when faced with the beautiful Brynhildr, but there is more to the biker dude that either Bryn or Aidan himself knows.

Can their fledgling love survive the secrets and intrigue, the reality of Odin's realm of Asgard, the pressures of being a warrior of the gods,

But Bryn lucks out when the Trickster god Loki sets his sights on her. Can Bryn hold her own against the charmingly manipulative god long enough to discover what Loki is really planning?
Dead Radiance is a fantasy filled with passion and intrigue, betrayal and broken hearts, that will keep you turning the page.

Nook Daily Find -- exp 22 Feb


$5.99 -- The Visionist -- Rachel Urquhart -- read by Peter Ganim, Ellen Archer (12.1 hrs)

An enthralling first novel about a teenage girl who finds refuge--but perhaps not--in an 1840s Shaker community.

After 15-year-old Polly Kimball sets fire to the family farm, killing her abusive father, she and her young brother find shelter in a Massachusetts Shaker community called the City of Hope. It is the Era of Manifestations, when young girls in Shaker enclaves all across the Northeast are experiencing extraordinary mystical visions, earning them the honorific of "Visionist" and bringing renown to their settlements.
The City of Hope has not yet been blessed with a Visionist, but that changes when Polly arrives and is unexpectedly exalted. As she struggles to keep her dark secrets concealed in the face of increasing scrutiny, Polly finds herself in a life-changing friendship with a young Shaker sister named Charity, a girl who will stake everything--even her faith--on Polly's honesty and purity.

Ever since I cancelled a trial 3-month Audible plan earlier this month, I haven't been able to see any of the sales in the front page banner. I can't even browse their catalog. In the past I was able to do this, but not anymore. I can only view my account, my library, and recommendations.

Anyone else experiencing this? FTR, I'm using Dolphin browser on a Fire HDX 8.9 (3rd Gen).

How about if you sign out of your account? I just checked on Chrome, where I'm not signed in (I have a plan right now) and I can see everything as usual.

I don't see the daily deal (I made a bookmark directly to work around this) and no sales offers, just a "we miss you" banner. I can still search and browse, however.

I was checking the Audible membership deals in the OP and I can't find any current deals that will work for fairly recent former members like me.
Some of the discount offers I find online, like Groupon or Living Social, claim to work for former members, but their official terms all state "new members only" so I'm not willing to spend the money.

Anyone have anything for me?

I'm not sure if the "not transferable" means limited availability. I am LL.

It's the same.

I just tried it on my Chromebook and no sales are visible, but it will allow me to browse from the "browse" tab up top; unlike my Fire HDX.

I bookmarked it also, so I could post the daily deal.

I can't browse from the "browse" tab up top, but I can search and browse from the categories at the bottom of the page.
