FREE/BARGAIN — Audiobooks

[badgoodDeb]

Among the free stories for streaming at Audible ( https://stories.audible.com ) is Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, read by Stephen Fry. Hmmm -- eenteresting!

Can one pause a stream and start at that place later? Even if I have to write down the time that I stopped at, it would still be useful.

Yes. I just checked and a story my niece was listening to on my laptop started where she left off.

Oh -- it was probably on that very page that they suggested "everyone in the family use a different device, or a different browser -- so that you can continue where you left off". It was your use of that phrase that reminded me

Thanks for the reassurance!

3 freebies from Blackstone. Available on Google Play or Kobo. (My links are for Google, but just search the title in Kobo; I got them there as well.) No idea why or how long, but they made it on the "Top Free" section in Play so have at it.

• FREE -- The Big Get-Even -- Paul Di Filippo, Keith Szarabajka / 7.6 hrs --> Thriller

Spoiler:

A disbarred lawyer and an ex-arsonist cross paths and find themselves organizing an elaborate real estate scam to bilk a shady rich speculator out of twenty million dollars. The sting is personal for ex-arsonist Stan and for a woman named Vee, who plays an essential role in the caper. Glen, the narrator and former lawyer, finds himself at first just along for the money. Eventually, as bonds deepen among the conspirators, Glen too discovers he has a lot more at stake than simply the loot.

This cast of lively eccentrics discovers along the way that getting to the big payoff might just be more scary fun than the monetary prize itself.

• FREE -- Nail’s Crossing: A Novel -- Kris Lackey, Mark Bramhall / 6.5 hrs --> Mystery

Spoiler:

This debut mystery from a fresh voice in Southwestern fiction stakes out the common ground between Tony Hillerman, Elmore Leonard, and Cormac McCarthy.

In a remote corner of the Chickasaw Nation, tribal Lighthorse policeman Bill Maytubby and county deputy Hannah Bond discover the buzzard-ravaged body of Majesty Tate, a young drifter with a blank past. They comb Oklahoma’s rock prairie, river bottoms, and hard-bitten small towns for traces of her last days.

Tate was seen dancing with Austin Love, a violent local meth dealer fresh out of prison. An Oklahoma City motel clerk connects her with an aspiring politician. An oil-patch roustabout and a shady itinerant preacher provide dubious leads. Ne’er-do-wells start dying off.

A fluke lead propels Maytubby deep into Louisiana’s bayou country, where a Cajun shrimper puts him on the scent of a bizarre conspiracy. He and Bond reunite in the Chickasaw Nation for the eventual face-off at Nail’s Crossing.

• FREE -- Path of the Dead -- Mark Edward Langley, Bronson Pinchot / 6 hrs --> Mystery

Spoiler:

The battle is one of wits and cunning, where the strong heart will overcome his enemy.

Ex-marine Arthur Nakai spent years as a member of the Shadow Wolves, an ICE tactical unit tasked by the US government to hunt human traffickers and drug smugglers on the US/Mexico border. He put that life of confronting violence in the darker contours of the desert landscape behind him and settled into a quiet existence in New Mexico with his wife, Sharon, a local TV reporter.

But when Sharon goes missing after crossing paths with a serial killer who has just added to his list of young victims, Arthur’s calm world is shattered. He must return to the darkness of the life he left behind in order to save what matters most to him, and the future he and his wife plan to share together. He can only hope that she is still alive, and that his skills will be enough to find her.

So begins the hunt—to find a ruthless killer and save the love of his life.

Enjoy!

FREE -- Don’t Lose Heart -- Jason Meyer/ Adam Verner -- 3.0 hrs

Don’t Lose Heart: Gospel Hope for the Discouraged Soul

A fallen world is full of reasons to lose heart. From the large-scale tragedies of war, famine, and natural disasters, to the more personal tragedies of broken relationships and broken dreams, it can be difficult to avoid discouragement-even for the believer. And yet, Scripture calls us to a life of hope, based not on wishful thinking or avoiding our problems but based on who God is, what he has done, and what he is still doing.

In this short, giftable book, pastor Jason Meyer shows you that though the reasons for discouragement seem strong, the reasons we have to take heart and hold on to hope are stronger yet. Through biblical truth and personal stories, Meyer encourages the weary and anxious believer by shining light on the nature of reality, the nature of God, and the intersection of the two in our daily, rubber-meets-the-road lives. The result is a book that lifts our spirits in a world that too often seeks to drag us down.
