Welcome to Litsy!

I never thought I‘d do this, but I‘ve fully switched to a Libro.fm membership now that they have a two-credit option. There‘s a small bookstore in a nearby town that I can‘t get to often enough, so I‘m happy to be able to support them. I guess I‘ll miss the audible-exclusive titles, but I‘ve had my membership on hold for three months and really didn‘t miss it then. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I‘ve been deleting ebooks off of my Kindle but I‘ve also been deleting audiobooks off of my Audible app. The number of audiobooks I have now used to be higher but it‘s gone down since I started removing audiobooks. I‘ve acquired more audiobooks but I‘ve also removed a lot. I still have more to do but I‘m happy with what I‘ve done.

Anyone else give Audible all their money this week? I can never resist audiobooks on sale. 🤦🏾‍♀️💸💸💸

I saw on Audible that you can choose books that you want to read based on whatever you‘re in the mood for. This is great for people who are mood readers. Sometimes, I‘m a mood reader. Sometimes, I like to have more structure in my reading life by picking out what I want to read. It just depends on what my mood is.

Didn‘t realize how many minutes i had. I like my results. Enjoy listening while driving.

2023 is the last year I‘m going to be paying for an Audible subscription. I have so many un-listened-to audiobooks already in my library, plus access to Hoopla and Libby libraries, I know I won‘t miss getting new books from Audible.

These stats are still always fun to see!

I was looking on my Audible app and I saw that I lost access to a lot of books that I added to my library from the Audible Plus catalog. The ones I‘ve lost access to have an expiration date or padlocks on them. When I click on the books I‘ve lost access to, it tells me that they‘re no longer included with my membership and it gives me the option to buy them. I can‘t buy them because I don‘t save my credits every month so I‘m going to delete them.

Never realised that #Audible has a listening log! Has anyone else found this? Or am I the last to know? 😂📚📖

Here‘s my 2022 Audible Stats.

PSA on Amazon‘s antics. Kinda typical for them, tbh.

https://winteriscoming.net/2022/12/30/brandon-sanderson-blasts-audible-unconscio...

I have 2 Audible credits burning a hole in my phone & no idea what to listen to. Recommend me! Please??? I‘m desperate here🙏

Okay, I have two credits and I'm trying to make sure I use them on Audible only options. I have these on my wishlist, but can't decide which ones I want to choose. Help!

1. The Color Purple
2. Cabal
3. The Black Echo
4. The Last Flight
5. Cape Fear
6. Crescent City
7. The Martian

I‘ve added 4 new audiobooks to my Audible library in preparation for my upcoming trip to Spain. Thanks for the recommendations @jenniferw88 @britt_brooke

Okay peeps, I took advantage of the audible offer right now... 3 months free. We'll see if it's worth it.

Hit me with audible must listens!

My 2021 #AudibleStats 🤓This doesn‘t include my Scribd, Hoopla and OverDrive accounts.

Curious to see yours @Megabooks xxx

I wish the ADD A BOOK feature would work so I could add these Audible Originals into the database.

How It Ends by Rachel Howzell Hall is 2 hours and 32 minutes long and it's another good one. Perfect for Audio-Cleaning...

4⭐

This is another Audible Original that I listened to this past month.

Brackish Waters by Matt Boren - Performed by Christina Applegate - 4⭐

Christina Applegate turned this mediocre story into something quite entertaining. It was the perfect length to get me through the rest of my Christmas present wrapping.

It's a bummer that the Add Book feature on here doesn't seem to work, either that or it doesn't let you add Audible Originals.

Anyhow...regarding Sleeping Dogs Lie by Samantha Downing

🦮🦮🦮🦮🦮 FIVE DOG STARS!

A surprisingly good short murder mystery story for the dog lovers out there. One that begs the question how far is too far?

Went on a little holiday shopping spree #AudibleSale
Wish I had #NonFiction22 prompts yesterday - go to @Riveted_Reader_Melissa page and check out her challenge 🙌🏻
Might need to go have a second look, just waiting & hoping that #Pop22 drops today 🤞🏼

My current listen isn‘t in the database (yet). It‘s a memoir about a woman coming to terms with her husband‘s job loss after 17 years of being the family provider. It‘s ok so far. #AudiblePlus #Freebie #NonFictionNovember

I figured out how to calculate the percentage from Audible audiobooks because Audible no longer shows the percentage read when I try to share my audiobook progress on social media. I looked up a time percentage calculator on Google. I calculated the amount of time I‘ve been listening to the audiobook and the amount of time in the audiobook and I get a percentage. After that, I update my reading progress on Goodreads and Storygraph.

How‘d I get up to 729 titles? Sales like this! (Note: I have listened to most of them! #audiophile)

I do love my #audiobooks!

#AudibleSale

Gotta LOVE those #AudibleDeals ❤️🧡💜💚

Hey all you experts! I want to cancel my audible subscription because I can find pretty much everything at my awesome library but I have 2 credits left. I have wandering mind syndrome when it comes to audio so I don‘t listen very often. Are there any books on audio that add something over and above the print version? Some audiobooks I have enjoyed are The Anthropocene Reviewed, Milkman, and The Refugees by Viet Thanh Nguyen. Thank you!

Michael Connelly did a documentary podcast exclusively for Audible?! It's been a while since I cancelled my subscription but I may just have to temporarily resubscribe 😆

Here‘s my review for another book I listened to. I‘m counting this book for 1 prompt.

☑️Published In July - #bookishbingo

Because I‘ve been incredibly spoiled by #litsylove and several other Littens, I need help!!! More like audiobook recommendations for Audible. I love mysteries/thrillers/police procedurals, historical fiction and true crime. I want an adventure! Anyone have any great recommendations?!? 😀😎📖💕

Uk #Audible sale.

@Andrew65 @Ms_T @Cathythoughts @oryx @squirrelbrain @Itchyfeetreader @youneverarrived @julesG @rockpools @Heideschrampf

What a sweet surprise this morning in my email. I‘m not sure who sent it so I could thank them! If you would like please let me know! Thank you sooo much! This is going to help when I have my 3 hour stint of not being able to do anything outside of listening or watching tv. I have to have ice packs on my hands and feet to fight off neuropathy and it‘s not what I could consider a good time. 🤨 Thank you! 🥰💕💕💕

I‘m thinking about quitting Audible and getting Bookbeat - does anyone have any Opinion on Bookbeat?

#Audible Uk Sale

@Andrew65 @Ms_T @Cathythoughts @oryx @rockpools @julesG

I just had the strangest customer service experience with audible. I am past my self-service exchanges because I get a lot of audiobooks and some don‘t work out, so I called to return a book and the lady said, “so I‘m adding three credits...” me, “I don‘t want to buy any credits right now.”

The woman started cracking up and said, “no, I‘m giving them to you.”

Me 🤯 what?

So maybe someone else will hit the return jackpot!

That‘s a lot of hours! That‘s 16 days 🤪

So this happened for Christmas!!!! Yay!!!

@ElizaMarie @AsYouWish @jb72

#Audible Uk doing Cyber Monday sale now! Unlike the Black Friday sale it will change every day till Monday so keep checking the titles on offer.

@Andrew65 @Ms_T @Cathythoughts @oryx

I did it. I finally cut the Audible cord. I‘ve had a Libro.fm account now for over a year, and this past month I‘ve been using Libby through my library almost exclusively. The Libby app is so much better than it used to be! A little less money in Bezos‘ non-tax paying pocket is a good thing. 😉

4 “new to me” audiobooks on Audible thanks to their “return” feature and my credits!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@Andrew65 @Ms_T @Cathythoughts

Your girl got audible today and has already manage to squeeze in an hour of listening time! This is going to change my reading game 😎

Thanks to @Megabooks for this Audible Original recommendation 🎧
For a short story, it was full bodied; containing humor, insight and though provoking topics. I really enjoyed both the content and the narration ♥️

Everyone check out this on facebook

Loving #Audible 's new advert.

On #Audible for members til 21 July.

I am seriously considering this can anyone help with me as to whether it is a good idea?

I asked you for advice about getting a Kindle Paperwhite and it has transformed Kindle reading experience.

It would be rude to say no 😂

#Audible

It isn‘t often that I am super interested in the daily book deals/offers that Audible emails out, but sometimes I see ones that have been on my TBR for too long that I feel like I can‘t pass up! Today‘s deal was one of those!

My mom recommended this book to me a while back, and as soon as I can get my hands on a physical copy, I‘m diving in!

If you‘ve read it, what‘s your rating/review? Love it? Hate it? So-so?
Drop stars or comments for me!

Anyone else seen the new Audible app layout? I'm on android and in the UK so I don't know if has changed for anyone not on Android or outside the UK

I quite like it as it is really organised.

@Andrew65 @Ms_T @Cathythoughts

I LOVED his first physical book!
I have high expectations for this one as one of my next audio listens. 💯
Coming May 21st!!

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Fantastic gesture from Amazon 🥰 Spread the good news! My niece is listening already #Audible

Audible is allowing the free streaming of certain books as long as schools are closed. It doesn't appear that you can download them using the app for free, so use this site. https://stories.audible.com/
