I'm not trying to play one-upmanship, but I discovered something else odd. I checked to make sure that I waa signed in. I wasn't. So, I signed in. Now tbe price shows $24.95, instead of $21.83! I _lose_ more than $4 by being a member! For you nonbelievers, I would attach screenshots, but I can barely manage to use this smartphone to write text for a post.

We Inactive Listeners are the Rodney Dangerfields of Audible.I tell you, we don't get no respect; we don't get no respect at all.

This is one that I'll have to call Audible about.

A little late sharing this, but I'm late checking it out . . . .

This "As You Wish" sale is confusing. Some of the audiobooks are, in fact, $5.95 (again, I'm an "Inactive Light" member). But that's just a smattering. Most of them are higher--some much higher (I saw one for $55.95. Ouch!)--priced than that.

There are also more than 200 audiobooks. _Far_ more. I looked for a way to filter the audiobooks, but I couldn't find a way. I may go to the main Audible website and see what I can do there. No news is, well, no news.

I suspect it's what you suggest - that it's because your an Inactive Light member. I'm an active member, and almost all show as 5.95. I noticed two that were 4.86, and they were both much shorter audiobooks.

Thanks.

A couple of facts make me wonder if that is the answer.

One is that in the past, when I was eligible, I got the advertisement for the sale on the opening page. If I wasn't eligible, I didn't. This time I got the advertisement.

I did see some $5.95 audiobooks, but there were just a handful of them, if memory serves me correctly, they were marked down significantly in price, however.

It's a good thing I never mailed any of those "love letters" or I'd be in jail

Thanks, I appreciate that

  Wanderlust: A Love Affair with Five Continents -- Elisabeth Eaves, Erin Bennett / 9.9 hrs --> Nonfiction

Spanning 15 years of travel, beginning when she is a sophomore in college, Wanderlust documents Elisabeth Eaves’ insatiable hunger for the rush of the unfamiliar and the experience of encountering new people and cultures. Young and independent, she crisscrosses five continents and chases the exotic, both in culture and in romance. In the jungles of Papua New Guinea, she loses herself - literally - to an Australian tour guide; in Cairo, she reconnects with her high school sweetheart, only to discover the beginning of a pattern that will characterize her life over the long-term: while long-distance relationships work well for her, traditional relationships do not.

Wanderlust, however, is more than a chronological conquest of men and countries: at its core, it’s a journey of self-discovery. In the course of her travels, Eaves finds herself and the sense of home she’s been lacking since childhoodand she sheds light on a growing culture of young women who have the freedom and inclination to define their own, increasingly global, lifestyles, unfettered by traditional roles and conventions of past generations of women.

Enjoy!
