You can only download Kindle audiobooks from your local Amazon website.
Eline Blackman (pronouns: she/they) fell in love with books as a child – with being read to and reading herself. 10 years ago, she bought her first Audible book. It was love at first listen! An average of 250 audiobooks per year has become the new normal and you will rarely see Eline without a wireless earbud. Romance and Fantasy are the go-to genres for this audiobook fan.
I love that there’s now audiobooks under Kindle Unlimited!
Yes! I don’t know how it is internationally, but it some marketplaces they’ve been around for several years. It’s actually how I got into audiobooks first. I had Kindle Unlimited when I was still mostly reading ebooks. Then I started noticing the “Read and Listen for free” titles and the KU ebooks with Whispersync deals for $1.99. That made it really easy to get into the audiobook habit, haha. The one Audible credit a month just wasn’t enough!
I always look forward to your wonderful curated lists! Thank you for providing such great insight that feeds my appetite for fun books.
Thank you so much for your feedback 🙂
I heavy considered getting What Never Happened but I felt like there was too many death themes in one book. Is that even possible? LOL. I may pick it up for my Halloween reading challenge though!
