Anyone with audible?

Thanks @ChessieFL , will take a look

Hi @MINEareCRAFTy yes there are - you can choose a 2 credit per month membership, or if you can afford to pay upfront you can get annual memberships for either 12 or 24 credits. If you go to My Account on the desktop site (not mobile) you should be able to see the different options.

Are there different levels of membership? Id quite like more than one credit a month 😳

40% of everything in Audible until 31st Dec if anyone fancies treating themselves, and today's daily deal is The Muse for 99p

reviving again to say today's audible deal is 1Q84 for £2.99

I know this is an old thread but I believe the recommendations are still relevant.
I need a new audible book, has anyone listened to anything good recently?

I can't believe no one has mentioned Diana Gabaldon and her Outlander series. Hours and hours of pure joy.

Just wanted to pick this up, as am now amassing a few cheap audible credits so will be scouring for recommendations (and keep them coming if you've got any updates please!)

Just lsitened to A Far Cry From Kensington by Muriel Spark. Wonderful!

I am a huge audible fan and I'd bet that I have the biggest library of anyone here. I joined in 2000 and I have had at least 2 books a month every month since then.

Currently I'm gorging on The Great Courses (just search for them, they are brilliant). My favourites so far are 'London: A short history of the greatest city in the western world' and 'Big History: The Big Bang, Life on Earth, and the Rise of Humanity'

Fiction wise I am about half way through The Wheel of Time. If anyone loves both Game of Thrones and really long listens they should have a go. Played back to back you are talking weeks of listening by the time you reach the end! On the other hand it's really good value. The shortest book in the series is 20+ hours and they are a credit each!

I joined audible last month, mainly so I can get Dorothy Dunnett's books in audible versions. Not sure if anyone has mentioned it upthread but you can borrow audiobooks and ebooks from your library, you just need a library card and the Overdrive app.

Just finished Pretty Girls by Karen Slaughter. I'm not sure about the story or the narration, it was okay but a bit gruesome for me :(
I need some more recommendations though. Has anyone listened to anything good recently?

I quite like the sound of the Dublin Murder Squad series by Tana French but will have to save them for another time. I'm using my credits on the Shardlake series by C J Sansom this time

Have you tried Kate Atkinson's crime novels?

Can anyone recommend me a series similar to simon serellier series by susan hill.
Thanks

Fingersmith by Sarah Waters is wonderful. Excellent narration, and I thoroughly enjoyed it

I may have said this before.
A cheaper (free) way to listen to audio books is to use your local library. I use the London Borough of Tower Hamlets library group and they have quite a large library of Audio books.
By supporting our local library's we might save them for our children and our children's children.

Audible for the kids is bloody brilliant. I was flicking through to see whether anyone had mentioned David Tennant reading the Hiccup books. It is an unbelievably good combination, and 'leave DS to go to sleep with book on' becomes 'adults compete to skulk outside DS door to hear a few chapters' He has a different accent for every Viking tribe - Alvin the Treacherous as a Brummie is epic.

Miriam Margolyes reading the Worst Witch and Tony Robinson doing the Wee Free Men are pretty good too.

Just remembered this excellent thread! Does anyone know if there are any good plays done on audible? When I last looked there only a few great classics like Chekov and Shaw with a fantastic cast but largely American which I think might be off putting, but maybe I'm being closed minded?

We love Audible in this house too. Have had loads of different books but current favourites by a country mile are any of the How To Train Your Dragon books by Cressida Cowell. They are read by David Tennant and are quite simply brilliant as he brings them to life......to the extent that I cnanot actually stand the films.

DS loves books and the films, however in the films Tootless the dragon becomes some kind of super dragon while in the books he is thought to be a small common or garden dragon...and he stutters. The whole point in the books are that he is thought to be so ordinary and small, not a dragon worthy of the heir to the tribe.

Also loved An Anthropolgist on Mars by Oluver Sacks

I am listening to Jumpa Lahiri The Lowland this week. I really like it. I am glad I bought it (got Kindle copy for 99p and added Audible narration - in total for under 5 pounds).

I listen to at least a book a week.

Can't actually function without audible now as NEED an audio book to do housework...
Faves this year - a God in Ruins and Two Brothers (Ben Elton).

Currently reading peter james dead simple.

Great narrator and good story. Listened to 4 hours so far today

I'm listening to Small Island by Andrea Levy at the moment and really enjoying it. The narration is excellent which can make or break an audiobook for me.

I got Audible for the long drives I have to do but found that I struggle to keep track of any plot - so end up reading the book as well as listening.

Now listening to The Fry Chronicles which is Stephen Fry's autobiography. Quite enjoying it.
