This is the code for the Slate+ offer I posted about here. It is supposed to be for members only, but someone figured out how to get through their firewall.

The code will work for anyone with an Audible account.

Enjoy!

PS - I realize it's only a "deal" if you're a member. There may be a way to hack past their paywall; if you find one please don't share it here.

ATTENTION Members -- Even though the promo code for this offer will work for anyone with an Audible account, do NOT use it if you're not a member of Slate Plus. I'm editing/removing all posts containing the code. If you know the code, please don't share it with anyone who is NOT a Slate Plus member.

The correct way to post these offers is to do what skinmaan did above. If you're a member of these sites, you'll know the code.

skinmaan - I missed your above post and after my own research, discovered this was for premium members; otherwise I would've stopped this sooner.

Details at http://www.theripperfile.com/ although it might only be for audible uk users. Details of the book are at https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00ZXJPI...ng=UTF8&btkr=1

Is this one of those that uses up your one "free share" book that can be given from another member?

I don't think so as that promotion does not seem available in the UK.

Audible Daily Deal -- exp 18 Jun

$3.95 -- Under the Udala Trees -- Chinelo Okparanta/ Robin Miles --> 11.4 hrs/ R-4.5 --> literary

Whispersync: Audible ($3.95) | Kindle ($2.99)

Inspired by Nigeria's folktales and war, Under the Udala Trees is a deeply searching, powerful debut about the dangers of living and loving openly. Ijeoma comes of age as her nation does; born before independence, she is 11 when civil war breaks out in the young republic of Nigeria. Sent away to safety, she meets another displaced child, and the star-crossed pair fall in love. They are from different ethnic communities. They are also both girls. When their love is discovered, Ijeoma learns that she will have to hide this part of herself. But there is a cost to living inside a lie.

As Edwidge Danticat has made personal the legacy of Haiti's political coming of age, Okparanta's Under the Udala Trees uses one woman's lifetime to examine the ways in which Nigerians continue to struggle toward selfhood. Even as their nation contends with and recovers from the effects of war and division, Nigerian lives are wrecked and lost from taboo and prejudice. But this story offers a glimmer of hope - a future where a woman might just be able to shape her life around truth and love.

Nook Daily Find -- exp 18 Jun

$3.99 -- Flesh and Blood -- Patricia Cornwell/ Lorelei King --> 12.2 hrs/ R-4.0 --> thriller

Flesh and Blood --> Kay Scarpetta Series (book 22 of 24)

Whispersync: Audible ($12.99) | Kindle ($9.99)

Number one New York Times best-selling author Patricia Cornwell delivers the next enthralling thriller in her high-stakes series starring Kay Scarpetta - a complex tale involving a serial sniper who strikes chillingly close to the forensic sleuth herself.

It's Dr. Kay Scarpetta's birthday, and she's about to head to Miami for a vacation with Benton Wesley, her FBI profiler husband, when she notices seven pennies on a wall behind their Cambridge house. Is this a kids' game? If so, why are all of the coins dated 1981 and so shiny they could be newly minted? Her cellphone rings, and Detective Pete Marino tells her there's been a homicide five minutes away. A high school music teacher has been shot with uncanny precision as he unloaded groceries from his car. No one has heard or seen a thing.

In this twenty-second Scarpetta novel, the master forensic sleuth finds herself in the unsettling pursuit of a serial sniper who leaves no incriminating evidence except fragments of copper. The shots seem impossible, yet they are so perfect they cause instant death. The victims appear to have had nothing in common, and there is no pattern to indicate where the killer will strike next. First New Jersey, then Massachusetts, and then the murky depths off the coast of South Florida, where Scarpetta investigates a shipwreck, looking for answers that only she can discover and analyze. And it is there that she comes face to face with shocking evidence that implicates her techno genius niece, Lucy, Scarpetta's own flesh and blood

It's not from "Send this Book'. The author issues promo codes, so it's legit; although the code will only work on the UK site.

And what a Whispersync deal it is! It's only $1.99, over $15 less than the audio alone at Audible, thanks to the ebook component now being free! And, of course, I haven't relaxed my high standards--it is very highly rated.

Amazon states that the ebook is suitable for age level 12-18/grade level 7-12.

Title: Stay the Distance.
Genre: Fiction (YA/Sports & Outdoors).
Author(s): Mara Dabrishus; Erin Smith (editor).

Amazon URL (you can get the whole Whispersync deal here): https://www.amazon.com/Stay-Distance.../dp/B00UGL7704.
Comments: Audible calls this "Book 1." However, I saw nothing at Amazon to indicate that, nor that the ebook is part of any series at all.
Book Description (Amazon):
July Carter’s world is perfect from the back of a horse. From the ground, everything is a complete mess: her jockey mom ran off for California years ago, her dad always seems more interested in the horses than in her, and the horse July wants for herself will never be hers.

Even though the New York racing circuit has taught her not to get attached, July can’t help connecting with Kali, a hopeless filly that refuses to run when it counts. When bankruptcy rumors start swirling around the barn, the future is murkier than ever. July can’t stand losing one more thing, and Beck, the barn owner’s son, knows more about the rumors than anyone else. July will get the truth, even if she has to pry it out of him, for Kali’s sake and her own.

Audible Daily Deal -- exp 19 Jun

$2.95 -- The Match -- Mark Frost/ Richard Poe --> 8.7 hrs/ R-4.6 --> NF sports

The Match: The Day the Game of Golf Changed Forever

Whispersync: no deals at this time

Renowned novelist and screenwriter Mark Frost turns his eye for golf to an event so famous that it’s grown to the stuff of legend. In 1956, a casual bet between two millionaires eventually pitted two of the greatest golfers of the era—Byron Nelson and Ben Hogan—against top amateurs: Harvie Ward and Ken Venturi. Frost recounts this dramatic tale from start to finish, detailing the match that vaulted golf out of the shadows and into the national spotlight.
