I am not sponsored by Libro.fm, but if you subscribe using my referral link, we each get a free audiobook. (NB: It does say "for a limited time" as I type this, and it provides the required code. I have no idea when this will change.) I like supporting a local indie bookstore with my audiobook purchases, I have found the selection to be comparable to other audiobook sources*, and on the rare occasions I have contacted customer service, they responded promptly with exactly what I needed.

* Yeah, Audible Exclusives are a thing. I think they are bad for the entire industry, but I have seen the contracts and I cannot fault my author friends who feel it is the best choice for them.
