I'll get off this topic soon...... once the Audible sale is finished I'll get back to posting about other things. ( I'm not an affiliate of Audible, so these posts have no hidden agenda ☺)
For anyone that was wanting to listen to Elizabeth Gaskell's book Cranford:
if you "purchase" the amazon kindle edition for $0.00 first the well read audiobook, over at audible , becomes a very affordable USD $0.99
The same can be done with Wives and Daughters, though if it was me I'd be selecting out another reader to go through the audiobook with. The other options cost USD $2.00 more than the edition read by Nadia May, but with over 25 hours of listening to get through, that's still very good value for money; and, would gift someone a huge amount of listening time while they tackle some those 'before winter hits' jobs.
Reading through Gladys Hunt's Honey for a Woman's Heart has given me some new authors and titles to consider; one author I've decided to try is Dorothy Gilman, and I went with her book The Amazing Mrs. Pollifax as it had one of the highest ratings. I'm hoping this will be an enjoyable new series for Daisy to listen through, since she's listened to most of the appropriate Agatha Christie titles we have.
Update: For others that appreciate knowing of things like this too, before handing an audio title to their teens: one of the characters says, "What the h3ll" quite a bit, the author includes a mention of horoscope driven personality traits, clairvoyant gypsy. & karama.

Hoping that missing seeng the sale is not a huge disappointment for you!? the audible sales are a 'savings' must if we are going to enjoy quality items so I make sure I have our wish list loaded with possibilities for when the sales swing round.
