Over on my Resources page I highlight several tools I use each day. One of my favorites is Audible.
Audible is a main reason I’m able to read so many books each year. The app, which works on almost any smartphone or tablet, lets you listen to audiobooks while you’re driving, exercising, or working around the house. Audible uses professional narrators so the quality is extremely high, the selection of books is amazing, and the pricing is very reasonable.
Recently, Audible hooked me up with a special code to give my readers a FREE audiobook of their choice!
Click that image above and you’ll get a FREE audiobook of your choice when you sign-up for a 30-day trial. After the trial, if you liked your audiobook, you can continue with the basic membership at $14.95 per month (that’s cheaper than a new hardcover book, and way cheaper than a book on CD.) The basic plan gives you one audiobook download per month, and it’s the one I use.
(Note: If you’re not pleased with Audible, you can cancel the membership at any time. You won’t be charged anything if you cancel during the trial period and you’ll still keep any books you’ve downloaded before canceling. But if you’re like me, once you see how easy and convenient it is to listen to audiobooks, you’ll probably want more.)
Audible’s library has over 150,000 titles to choose from, including several great Catholic books. When you download your FREE audiobook, you might consider some of these:
