5 Reasons I LOVE Audible
This post is sponsored by Audible
I’ve been an Audible member for years and years and it is one of my very favorite subscriptions.
Right now, Audible has their Prime Day deal going on for 3 free months of Audible (even though Prime Day is over, it’s not too late to grab it!).
(Also, if you’ve had an Audible subscription in the past, it’s worth taking 2 seconds to click the link and see if they’ll offer it to you!)
Here are five reasons I love having an Audible subscription so much and why it’s used almost daily at our house:
- Audible has THE biggest audiobook library on the planet. They have such a massive collection and they have audiobooks you can’t get anywhere else (like the Keeper of the Lost Cities series that all my kids and my husband blew through last year!).
- The Audible Plus catalog. Aside from the books that are available to buy with cash or your monthly credits, there are tens of thousands of audiobooks included for free with your membership. There are SO MANY good options and my kids and I have listened to tons of them over the years. I have a list of adult favorites here and kid favorites here!
- My kids can listen screen-free on their Echo Dots. This is one of my FAVORITE things about Audible! Each of our kids has an Echo Dot in their room and they love listening to audiobooks while they play or go to bed or get ready for school and they can listen screen-free to books from our Audible library just by saying, “Alexa, play The False Prince on Audible.” We use these literally every single day and it means our Audible library gets a LOT of use!
- My husband and I can link our Audible accounts with Amazon Family Library. This is such an underrated option – you can choose one other person (could be your mom, a friend, a spouse, etc) to link your Amazon accounts with and then you’ll both be able to listen to the books in each other’s Audible library! We each have our own Audible memberships and it’s so nice to not spend 2 credits for a book we both want to listen to – directions for how to set this up here. (And also, our girls can then listen on the Echo Dots to anything from EITHER of our libraries).
- If you have an Audible membership, you have access to member-only sales. This is a huge perk for me and one of my favorite ways to bulk up our library without spending a fortune. Last month, the ENTIRE Audible catalog was on sale and I picked up nearly 40 new titles for as low as 67 cents a book! They also frequently have 2-for-1 credit sales where you can get two audiobooks with one credit!
If you have an Audible subscription, I’d love to hear what you love about it! And if you have any questions about Audible or this Audible deal, leave them in the comments and I’m happy to help!
We got the summer deal earlier this year when you get 3 months for .99 a month. This summer we’ve loved the audible plus library! We haven’t used our credits because there’s been so much to choose from that’s included. We will use up our credits, cancel, and wait for another great deal!
