I just got an e-mail from Audible offering me a 12-credit annual membership for $89.50; the e-mail says the offer is for current members who switch to the annual plan by July 29.

I don't have a link--the e-mail link seems to be personalized with my account info.

Factual History Makes Phenomenal Fiction with SYNC

Listening Library supplies SYNC participants with a pair of historical fiction novels this week. While these two audiobooks depict the lives of fictional characters, their settings and the details of their plots accurately reflect actual events, traditions, and even some real-life people. In both, we travel back to the 20th century and into the action-packed lives of strong female characters.

Well, that's exciting! I haven't gotten such an email (yet???). Wonder what the criteria is to get the offer.

I’ve received the same offer, I’m currently a member because I took advantage of an offer last month, 3 months for 0,99 $/month, not sure if that makes any difference to qualify for this offer

That's what I have as well. I wonder if someone could sign up for a free trial and then switch at this price; it seems like it would be worth a try.

Ah. Maybe this offer is only being extended to new members who took advantage of the 99¢ offer

Seeking verification: it's been established that you can use a credit on a prebuy and then quit, and you'll get the audiobook when it's released, correct?

Transformative Legends, Legends Transformed on SYNC

During this twelfth week of the SYNC season, with thanks to HighBridge Audio and HarperAudio, we get to hear of legendary transformations. Humans have always had a soft spot in their story-loving hearts for characters who undergo changes that are corporeal, spiritual, or something else. This week’s free audiobooks give us a pair of such transformative tales.

How Not To Be Afraid -- $0.99 -- Gareth Higgins/ G Higgins -- 8.3 hrs

Growing up near the troubled city of Belfast, Gareth Higgins was schooled in suspicion, mistrust, and paranoia. Would someone be lurking behind the door? Was there a bomb under that car? Yet fear feeds on the stories we tell ourselves, Higgins claims, and in How Not to Be Afraid, he delves into the mechanisms of fear, as well as the quiet, immense strength of individuals and communities that refuse to let it reign.

Caught Up In Another's Game and in SYNC

Even when we need to rely on others for safety or comfort, we like to maintain a sense of personal freedom and choice. This penultimate week of the 2023 SYNC season, we are swept into stories in which the leading characters are not in charge. What can happen when personal control of our lives is taken away from us? Thanks to Scholastic Audiobooks and Thomas Nelson, we get front row seats for events several people experience in that situation—all without leaving our own sense of independence behind.
