Sixteen-year-old Suzume is a shadow weaver, trained in the magical art of illusion. She can be anyone she wants to be—except herself. Is she the girl of noble birth, trapped by the tyranny of her mother’s new husband, Lord Terayama? A lowly drudge scraping a living in the ashes of Terayama’s kitchens? Or Yue, the most beautiful courtesan in the Moonlit Land? Even Suzume is no longer sure of her true identity. But she is determined to steal the heart of the Moon Prince and exact revenge on her stepfather for the death of her family. And nothing will stop her. Not even her love for fellow shadow weaver Otieno, the one man who can see through her illusions.

Well, Amazon finally figured out it is no longer June! They have at last updated their free Whispersync for Voice offering. I suspect they will stay with this title for August since it is so late in the month. If you'd like to get "Far From the Maddening Crowd" by Thomas Hardy remember to first get the Kindle edition (here) first, then get the Audible edition (here.

In a remote corner of early Victorian England, where traditional practices remain untouched by time, Bathsheba Everdene stands out as a beacon of female independence and self-reliance. However, when confronted with three suitors, among them the dashing Sergeant Troy, she shows a reckless capriciousness that threatens the stability of the whole community. Published in 1874, and an immediate best seller, Far From the Madding Crowd established Thomas Hardy as one of Britain's foremost novelists.

Enjoy!

Yeah, took 'em long enough and now we'll be short one freebie for the year.

You beat me. I was just going to post this after I got done posting the daily deals. The early bird gets the worm and the late monkey gets no bananas

Thanks - are the 2 links different than just adding audible narration to the Kindle purchase?

No. Other than that the auto-add purchase often doesn't work (didn't for me just now, whined about the payment type, which is the Amazon store card; you would think that would not matter for a free audiobook, but their programmers are lazy). Using the separate link worked just fine, with exact same payment type.

For those that want a nicer Kindle edition, this 99 cent one from Harper is also linked - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004BA54GK/

Thanks - I just use a Visa card and don't recall ever having a problem with checking the audible narration box, but I'll keep that in mind...
