FREE/BARGAIN — Audiobooks

SYNC Audio

A big shout-out to SYNC and the participating publishers for another season of free audiobooks. I picked up a few. SYNC will return in the Spring of 2020. Till then...

By now, you may be in possession of as many as 28 new audiobooks for your listening enjoyment. SYNC's 2019 season of free audiobooks has run its course. However, we don't disappear when the season ends. What can you expect until the free audiobooks start up again next spring?

First of all, thank you right now for continuing to support this program which aims to celebrate books and skillful reading. And, of course, big thank yous to the publishers who shared fine works from engaging authors and talented narrators. Very soon every partipant in SYNC's 2019 season will receive a brief survey and we hope you respond to it so that you, too, have a voice in our continued efforts to improve this annual program.

Our social media presence continues on all channels throughout the year, and we regularly share information about audiobook news of high interest to teens and those who facilitate their access to audiobooks. Occasionally we'll offer listening discussion guides and other models for bringing attention to reading with your ears.

As early as the new year, we should be able to start announcing audiobooks coming to SYNC 2020! So, stay tuned, and tell us about why you listen.

Simply Tuesday: Small-Moment Living in a Fast-Moving World

Our obsession with bigger and faster is spinning us out of control. We move through the week breathless and bustling, just trying to keep up while longing to slow down.

But real life happens in the small moments, the kind we find on Tuesday, the most ordinary day of the week. Tuesday carries moments we want to hold onto--as well as ones we'd rather leave behind. It holds secrets we can't see in a hurry--secrets not just for our schedules but for our souls. It offers us a simple bench on which to sit, observe, and share our stories.

For those being pulled under by the strong current of expectation, comparison, and hurry, relief is found more in our small moments than in our fast movements. In Simply Tuesday, Emily P. Freeman helps readers

· stop dreading small beginnings and embrace today's work
· find contentment in the now--even when the now is frustrating or discouraging
· replace competition with compassion
· learn to breathe in a breathless world

Jesus lived small moments well, slow moments fully, and all moments free. He lives with us still, on all our ordinary days, creating and redeeming the world both in us and through us, one small moment at a time. It's time to take back Tuesday, to release our obsession with building a life, and believe in the life Christ is building in us--every day.

One stipulation bugs me:
"All of your VIP Rewards books will remain in your library as long as you remain a member." So basically you're just borrowing the audiobooks. Why not just borrow audiobooks from your public library, and save the cost of the membership?

The upside is that Audiobooks.com's VIP selection looks pretty good.

Audible -- Free Membership

• Free -- Audible Membership -- 1 mo, 2 books -- YMMV

Worked for me. In the last year, I've had two promo memberships: Planet Fitness (2mo free Jan~Mar 2019) and Groupon (2mo $1.90 Aug~Oct 2018)

Note: this is NOT a special promo. It's Amazon/Audible's standard two book trial offer. So if it doesn't work out for you this time, try again later on.

Didn't work for me...just showed an ordinary renewal with no free month.

Of course, my last membership just ended about a month ago, so I suspect Audible/Amazon's algorithms, whatever they are, haven't "reset" me yet.

Thanks as always for posting though

The two answers that spring immediately to mind are:
1. If you're already a member, it's a non-issue, just one more benefit of membership.
2. Libraries don't necessarily have all the same titles.

Not algorithms. They use a giant wheel, similar to the ones that _The Price Is Right_ and the _Wheel of Fortune_ use. The main difference is that Audible/Amazon's has our names on it instead of the other stuff.
