Latest Audible Haul

I thought I had all the Audible titles I could possibly want, but once again, they drew me in with the promise of "3 months for 99 cents". I had been wanting to get my hands on Jan Karon's latest Mitford novel, My Beloved, so I jumped at the chance of getting it for 33 cents. ($15 at Amazon). My second credit was spent on a Great Course offering from one of my favorite lecturers (Great Authors of the Western Literary Tradition - 84 lectures by Elizabeth Vandiver!). My third book was Against the Machine by Paul Kingsnorth. So far so good. 

When I discovered that almost all of Wendell Berry's books were on sale for 2 to 3 dollars, I bought eight of them, including his most recent novel (and possibly his last), "Marce Catlett." ($14 on Amazon)

I almost squeezed by without shelling out more money, but then I saw a few more Great Courses for sale done by Vandiver. Ha! 

You know how Sam's Club sells cheap rotisserie chicken at the back of the store so that you'll spend a lot more than you planned before you leave? Audible is no different. They offered me three almost free books and then deluged me for months with other books that were on sale. I'm not sorry for anything I bought, but am glad the temptation to give into book fever has finally ended. (Because somehow I resisted their offer of three more months for half price!)

Do you use Audible? Have you found any particularly good recordings of favorite books? 

Blessings,
