Heads up! Some prices have changed. The Kindle First titles this month were at $7.47 for the matching Audible book, but now they're at $1.99 for the preorder. A couple other books I had on my Audible wish list also dropped to a $1.99 Whispersync price.

Thanks for the heads up.

I post the Whispersync pairs for Kindle for Samsung because they were available during the promo. I didn't do Kindle First because the audiobooks didn't show until the following month, so I eventually quit looking. Looks like I can post those deals now.

Thanks! As of now, the Whispersyncs on my wishlist are steady at $7.49, but I'll keep an eye on them and my fingers crossed. No shillyshallying this time around - if the prices go down, I'll bite.

I think I beat TM to the punch, but he may have snuck it by me.

Free from PRH at TryAudiobooks.com:

Dreidels on the Brain by Joel ben Izzy (7 hr 42 min)

Quote:
At last a great American Hanukkah story! This very funny, very touching novel of growing up Jewish has the makings of a holiday classic.

One lousy miracle. Is that too much to ask?

Evidently so for Joel, as he tries to survive Hannukah, 1971 in the suburbs of the suburbs of Los Angeles (or, as he calls it, “The Land of Shriveled Dreams”). That’s no small task when you’re a “seriously funny-looking” twelve-year-old magician who dreams of being his own superhero: Normalman. And Joel’s a long way from that as the only Jew at Bixby School, where his attempts to make himself disappear fail spectacularly. Home is no better, with a family that’s not just mortifyingly embarrassing but flat-out broke.

That’s why Joel’s betting everything on these eight nights, to see whether it’s worth believing in God or miracles or anything at all. Armed with his favorite jokes, some choice Yiddish words, and a suitcase full of magic tricks, he’s scrambling to come to terms with the world he lives in—from hospitals to Houdini to the Holocaust—before the last of the candles burns out.

No wonder his head is spinning: He’s got dreidels on the brain. And little does he know that what’s actually about to happen to him and his family this Hanukkah will be worse than he’d feared . . . And better than he could have imagined.
Enjoy!

    $2.00 -- Society's Child -- Janis Ian/ Janis Ian --> 12.2 hrs --> memoir

    Society's Child: My Autobiography

    Janis Ian was catapulted into the spotlight in 1966 at the age of 15, when her soul-wrenching song "Society's Child" became a hit. An intimate portrait of an interracial relationship, "Society's Child" climbed the charts despite the fact that many radio stations across the country refused to play it because of its controversial subject matter. But this was only the beginning of a long and illustrious career.

    In this fascinating memoir of her more than 40 years in the music business, Ian chronicles how she did drugs with Jimi Hendrix, went shopping for Grammy clothes with Janis Joplin, and sang with Mel Tormé, all the while never ceasing to create unforgettable music.

    In 1975, Ian's legendary "At Seventeen" earned two Grammy awards and five nominations. Her next two albums brought her worldwide platinum hits. But after seven albums in as many years, she made a conscious decision to walk away from the often grueling music business. During this period, she struggled through a difficult marriage, which ended with her then husband's attempt to destroy her, and a sudden illness that very nearly cost her her life. The hiatus from music lasted for close to a decade until, in 1993, Ian returned with the release of the Grammy-nominated Breaking Silence. Now, as she moves gracefully into her fifth decade as a recording artist and writer, Ian continues to draw large audiences around the globe.

    In Society's Child, Janis Ian provides a relentlessly honest account of the successes and failures - and the hopes and dreams - of an extraordinary life.

I've listened to both of these, thanks to Overdrive.

I had high hopes for The Last Place You Look, but it was a flop. I hated the protagonist, who was a mess of problems and insecurities and not someone I wanted to spend time with.

I like Marian Babson's various cat mysteries, and listed to The Twelve Deaths of Christmas (also a mystery) last holiday season. No focus on kitties in this one, but it's a quick, painless mystery. It's not the one I'd choose as an intro to Babson, as it lacks the charm and quirkiness of her cat books.

I preferred early Babson, before she got into the cats.

The monthly FREE audiobook is here! Let the holiday festivities begin with a download of A BOY CALLED CHRISTMAS by Matt Haig, read by Stephen Fry.

Click here to download: http://ow.ly/mCvS30gCEBY

Quote:
Before there was Santa Claus, there was a young boy who believed in the impossible. . . . Lemony Snicket meets Elf in this warmhearted Christmas caper.

Eleven-year-old Nikolas—nicknamed “Christmas”—has received only one toy in his life: a doll carved out of a turnip. But he’s happy with his turnip doll, because it came from his parents, who love him. Then one day his father goes missing, and Nikolas must travel to the North Pole to save him.

Along the way, Nikolas befriends a surly reindeer, bests a troublesome troll, and discovers a hidden world of enchantment in the frozen village of Elfhelm. But the elves of Elfhelm have troubles of their own: Christmas spirit and goodwill are at an all-time low, and Nikolas may be the only person who can fix things—if only he can reach his father before it’s too late. . . .

Sparkling with wit and warmth, A Boy Called Christmas is a cheeky new Christmas classic-in-the-making from acclaimed author Matt Haig and illustrator Chris Mould.
