Mod
Thanks for the heads up, Ash.

since Sylvia gave it such high praise."Ok I'm going to have to add this to my to read list :-)"
Ooh, can't wait to hear what you think when you get around to it. It was only $1 the other week.

There are wayyyyy too many books. It looks and sounds good :-). What rating is it? PG, R, beyond. Lol

It's still 99 cents :-). Woot
Mod
I've never actually listened to an audible so I need to figure out whether I like the idea of it or not. Must try try try!

it was fantastic! Great ending to a great trilogy. I laughed so much with Penryn's mom, her character's a hoot! And my heart kept breaking..."Darn I need to read these.

Mod
I don't know about the kindle app Melissa. I think you have to have the audio for it however my kindle will read to me but it's so robotic it made any book awful.

Mod
Well, there is no point then. That would just annoy the hell out of me.

I can go back and forth from the ebook to the audio (back & forth) without loosing my place in book or audio. That's what Amazon is calling "Whispersync". It's awesome that you can add the audio to lots of ebooks you buy for cheap. I've been able to buy a ton of cheap audios this way.
Mod
I do have audio but on my actual kindle I don't. It will read every book yo me but it doesn't sound good at all.
Mod
Yep, I agree.
Ash wrote: "Sylvia wrote: "Ash wrote: "Melissa wrote: "Sylvia wrote: "Melissa wrote: "Does anyone know how to get your books from kindle to read to you? I saw someone mention that. Now my old kindle don't ha..."LOL! That's me too Ash :P I'm way out of control with the audio buying :D

Mod
Just have to try some audio's then. The only thing is, I've got so many ebooks and no point me buying audio's of ebook's I already have.

Also there's other audio websites that offer cheaper monthly rates for audio memberships that you can try a trail to see if you like audios. Also lots of libraries are offering audiobooks now. You should check that out ;)

But for i think 15$ a month you get one credit that gets you one audio book for free and then you get discounts on others.

I thought audible ruled that area. I will check more on things. Thanks ladies :-)

I have the audible app on my iPhone and had it on my Samsung Galaxy before that to listen to my audiobooks it's easier and more portable since the phone has a lot of memory and it's way lighter than a tablet or even a kindle :)

They're also giving a free first week so you can give it a try and see if it's something you'll like :)

I finished
. Normally I love witch books, but this one didn't do it for me. The writing was really beautiful, but I think I've just gotten used to faster paced books.
Melissa wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Ash wrote: "Melissa wrote: "Sylvia wrote: "Melissa wrote: "Does anyone know how to get your books from kindle to read to you? I saw someone mention that. Now my old kindle don't hav..."Audible has different membership subscriptions but no matter which one you choose, as a member you get loads of deals and discounts. Honestly, I have the audible membership out of ease and convenience since I'm a total Amazon fanatic LOL! I have a huge kindle cloud of like 6k ebooks over the many years, Amazon prime membership because hello free shipping! and also tons of great deals and perks including kindle first which gives you specially offered first dibs on selected new releases before releasing to the public and for free, an Amazon Reward credit card which gives me purchasing points for buying free stuff, and the Whispersync option between the audio and ebooks with many at super discounted pricing, and everything shows up cohesively in my library since they're both linked in my Amazon account. Everything nice and tidy. I opted to go with the once a year membership because it ends up being the better deal. At $229.50 I get 24 credits to use whenever I want throughout the year which breaks-down the price of each audiobook to be $9.56 but I save them and will only use one of my credits to buy the expensive audiobooks LOL! So if an audiobook is priced between $14-$30 I'll use a credit to buy it. But for any audiobook that's priced under $9 I won't a credit. I'll wait for it to go on sale and then just buy it. And they do have lots of special pricing for members. Especially once the system syncs in and they realize that you own the ebook for a particular audiobook, you'll see the special discounted price displayed for you in case you want to "add the whispersync" because you already own the kindle book. Other times it'll offer special pricing once you click on an audiobook by stating "you can buy the audio for $1.99 if you purchase the kindle version" and you can link into the Kindle Amazon page and see what the price is for the ebook. In those cases you'll still get both at a cheaper price than what the audiobook retails for because if the ebook ends up being priced for lets say $2.99 & the audio "whispersync" portion is $1.99 that adds up to a total of $4.98 for both :) And my absolute favorite part is that you can find everything on Amazon. Yup, I'm a total amazon hussy LOL!

I hope your next read is a good one.

Then you purchase the book on Amazon and click the little box that says, add audio for $1.99 or $2.99 or whatever price. You can also find syncs for books you've previously purchased on your kindle. It's SUPER awesome!!! I just discovered it a few weeks ago, and I LOVE it!

? Is it good? I was thinking about diving into that one next.
Night Melissa! For future reference, you can just do the free month of audible and then cancel, then have the audible app and use your "free account" once you cancel to start using Whispersync in tandem with your kindle app. You will save SO much money doing audible. I pay but I've had seasons where I canceled. But I could still use my audiobooks on the app. Then when I'd buy a kindle book and there was a $1.99 match audio I could just get that. But I'm like Belkis, I also have the Prime membership and all that. I'm like a freak for Amazon…lol
You guys

Have you gotten around to reading A Court of Thorns and Roses (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #1) by Sarah J. Maas? Is it good? I was thinking about diving into that one next. I loved this one Theresa - definitely recommended!
I just finished reading Lies Beneath. I quite enjoyed it. Never read about psychotic mermaids before! Just about to start The Farm. Do love a good thriller :)

Oh I loved Lies Beneath. That book ended up being my favorite of the series. I've heard The Farm is really good. Enjoy!

before the library takes it back. Book 2 and 3 had no waitlists as of a week ago. I was trying to wait to check it out so i'd have it for an upcoming road trip and now the wait is at 7 people! DANG!

where the narrator was AWESOME and I loved it. Then there were others where I had to make myself finish because the narration was so terrible. And these were books that everybody loved. I believe the narrator can make or break a story.
