The annual Audible holiday freebie is out. Man, do I miss the days of getting a mainstream book...

Gather ‘Round the Sound by Paulo Coelho, Yvonne Morrison, Charles Dickens

Gather 'Round the Sound: Holiday Stories from Beloved Authors and Great Performers Across the Globe

2017 has been a monumental year for Audible, having just celebrated our 20th anniversary, a milestone that would have never been possible without our wonderful and loyal listeners. One of our major commitments is bringing new and diverse audio experiences to our members, so this year, as our gift to you, we pulled together a collection that reflects a little bit of everything we've been up to recently: a surprising and heartwarming documentary, a selection of stories from our partners around the world, and even some improvised comedic carols we hope will make you laugh as much as they did us.

The lineup includes:

Zip Code 12345

This mini-documentary centers around a peculiar holiday tradition at General Electric's headquarters in Schenectady, NY. For two decades, GE has been receiving thousands of letters from kids - children who think they're reaching Santa Claus. And every year, a handful of GE employees give up their December lunchbreaks to respond to each and every letter.

An Aussie Night Before Christmas, by Yvonne Morrison, performed by Magda Szubanksi

This rollicking rewrite of the famous old poem 'Twas The Night Before Christmas gives the original version a hilarious Aussie twist. Magda Szubanski, Australia's most trusted personality, caries this incredibly fun romp. Kangaroos pulling the sleigh, a beer for Santa, and all the over-the-top Australian lingo, it's everything you'd expect.

The Music Coming from the House, by Paulo Coehlo, performed by Daniel Frances-Berenson

In this magical story from the author of The Alchemist - the master of the modern parable - a disguised king visits a poor village, and what he sees through the window of a house changes his life, and those of the occupants.

The Signal-man, by Charles Dickens, performed by Simon Callow, Dan Starkey, and John Banks

For literature lovers, the holiday season needs a little Dickens. We dug up a story of his that you may not be familiar with, originally published in the Christmas edition of a Victorian short story periodical. Of course, ghosts are involved in this 19th century work told by Simon Callow (Outlander) and Dan Starkey (Dr. Who).

A Very Improvised Holiday Musical

What would the holidays be without some carols? Vern, a New York City-based improv troupe, performs a few improvised holiday songs.

Enjoy!

I was randomly wandering around audible looking for anything good in the 50% off sale and came across 2 bundles of Robert Crais books each $10.48 for 3 full-length novels.

The Monkeys Raincoat, Stalking the Angel, Lullaby Town
First Rule, Sentry, Taken

I've not seen bundles like that on Audible before and wondered if anyone knows of any others in the Mystery/Thriller genre

I was able to get the offer. I haven't been a paid member for several months.

Very tempting, but with gifting of audiobooks disabled now, I'd end up with books in multiple accounts, which would make it much harder to listen....

I saw that and corrected the post. Thanks.

I sure wish expiration dates were always given for offers

Likely this was a pricing error on Downpour's part, which they quickly corrected.
