My favorite version of the story is the Bugs Bunny (or maybe it's Daffy Duck) one. I'd need a video, not an audiobook, for that one.

That is just too funny! As all of the Bugs Bunny cartoons of that era are. Thanks for finding it and posting it.

I spent mine before your list was posted but I already had Clare Mackintosh on my wishlist at audible, on searching at downpour I can only see it as a CD. Is it showing as a download in your region? In the end I went for The Passenger by Lisa Lutz

Showing as both CD and Download (the link Catlady posted defaults to CD for me, but download can be selected) for me here.

Ahh a trick for new players coming from an Aussie IP address this morning states it's not available to me at all, coming from a US one last night and it stated CD but I didn't notice the tiny little writing that states "Also: Download" nor did I notice the giant format filter above the search results Doh Thants what you get for shopping for audiobooks near midnight

Worse, though - it is "in my account" but not in my library, so I can't download it (or repurchase to try to get it into my library)

* Baudolino -- Umberto Eco

Eco's always good.

Right now I'm thinking about A Man on the Moon by Andrew Chaikin

Audible Daily Deal -- exp 12 May @ 11:59pm ET

$2.95 -- I Wasn't Strong Like This... -- Lee Gutkind/ Tavia Gilbert --> 8.6 hrs/ R-4.4 --> memoir

I Wasn't Strong Like This When I Started Out: True Stories of Becoming a Nurse

Whispersync: the Audible book is $2.95, if you own or borrow the Kindle ebook ($8.18)

I Wasn't Strong Like This When I Started Out, a collection of true narratives, reflects the dynamism and diversity of nurses who provide the first vital line of patient care. Here, nurses remember their first "sticks", first births, and first deaths and reflect on what gets them though long, demanding shifts and keeps them in the profession.

The stories reveal many voices from nurses at different stages of their careers: One nurse-in-training longs to be trusted with more "important" procedures while another questions her ability to care for nursing home residents. An efficient young emergency room nurse finds his life and career irrevocably changed by a car accident. A nurse practitioner wonders whether she has violated professional boundaries in her care for a homeless man with AIDS. And a home-care case manager is the sole attendee at a funeral for one of her patients.

What connects these stories is the passion and strength of the writers who struggle against burnout and bureaucracy to serve their patients with skill, empathy, and strength.

I didn't have any problems getting it. Looks like a call to Tantor is in order.

SYNC Weekly Deals -- Week 2 -- exp 19 May @ 7am ET

Note: further info can be found here --> SYNC 2016 | SYNC FAQs

• FREE -- Sin Eater's Daughter -- Melinda Salisbury/ Amy Shiels
  
• FREE -- Divine Collision -- Jim Gash/ Brandon Batchelar

The Sin Eater's Daughter --> US, Canada, Mexico only

A startling, seductive, deliciously dark debut that will shatter your definition of YA fantasy.

Sixteen-year-old Twylla lives in the castle. But although she's engaged to the prince, no one speaks to her. No one even looks at her. Because Twylla isn't a member of the court. She's the executioner.

As the goddess-embodied, Twylla kills with a single touch. So each week, she's taken to the prison and forced to lay her hands on those accused of treason. No one will ever love her. Who could care for a girl with murder in her veins? Even the prince, whose royal blood supposedly makes him immune to her touch, avoids her.

But then a new guard arrives, a boy whose playful smile belies his deadly swordsmanship. And unlike the others, he's able to look past Twylla's executioner robes and see the girl, not the goddess. Yet a treasonous romance is the least of Twylla's problems.

The queen has a plan to destroy her enemies—a plan that requires an unthinkable sacrifice. Will Twylla do what it takes to protect her kingdom? Or will she abandon her duty in favor of a doomed love?

Divine Collision: An African Boy, An American Lawyer, and Their Remarkable Battle for Freedom

Los Angeles lawyer and law professor, Jim Gash, tells the amazing true story of how, after a series of God-orchestrated events, he finds himself in the heart of Africa defending a courageous Ugandan boy languishing in prison and wrongfully accused of two separate murders.

Ultimately, their unlikely friendship and unrelenting persistence reforms Uganda's criminal justice system, leaving a lasting impact on hundreds of thousands of lives and unearthing a friendship that supersedes circumstance, culture and the walls we often hide behind.

Thanks on both the Groupon and Downpour deals. My first effort on Downpour was also 2 credits. I found something good but it was a huge download compared to what I usually get from Audible...about 800MB total. There is no room for this on either my iPad or my Nano.

Thanks - I'll add it to the OP

Even though I'm a member once again, the sale isn't visible to me because I don't have any credits.
