LeoniekeThanks to a tip from <a href="https://masto.deoan.org/@neurovagrant" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@neurovagrant</a>, I have cancelled my audible subscription and I have created an account with libro.fm.As I listen to audiobooks alsmost exclusively in English, any Dutch services do not cover my audio/listening needs and wishes.To check if libro.fm was a good fit for me, I compared my wishlist at audible (currently at about 30 titles) with the libro.fm catalogue: apart from 1 title it was a complete fit.Next up: copying over my wishlist from one to the other, check out the specific membership options (probably going for a 2 credit/month version again) and get ready to listen.Biggest perk: you can Download Your Purchased Audio Books! Second biggest perk: supporting an independent bookstore, unfortunately only in the USA at the moment.Join me? <a href="https://libro.fm/referral?rf_code=lfm951239" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://libro.fm/referral?rf_code=lfm951239</a><a href="https://squilla.vitaulium.eu/tags/debigtechmylife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DeBigTechMyLife</a> <a href="https://squilla.vitaulium.eu/tags/librofm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LibroFM</a> <a href="https://squilla.vitaulium.eu/tags/audiobooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AudioBooks</a>

Zivan - Childless Cat GuyLibroFM is having an Indie Bookshop Appreciation SaleThe sale includes, Blackheart Man by Nalo HopkinsonMy Review: Myth, Magic and History blend on the island of Chynchin. Threatened by an imperial power it's population looks to its mythical past for solutions. Veycosi, a local scoundrel and history student with the heart of an engineer, is tasked with studying the magical victory that earned Chynchin its independence. This is not a simplistic story, with plucky egalitarian islanders as the good guys and the empire as the villains. The island is not perfect and has its share of sins. Veycosi is very much a representation of the powers of ADHD and is constantly getting into trouble, weather by his own actions or due to the magical nature of Chynchin. He reminded me of the Jewish story about the difference between a Shlumiel and a Shlimazel. The Shlumiel when carrying a bowl of soup will inevitably drop it over someone. The Shlimazel is the person that somehow manages to allways find himself in the path of the soup. Veycosi somehow manages to embody both aspects of such misfortune. <a href="https://libro.fm/audiobooks/9781797179636-blackheart-man" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://libro.fm/audiobooks/9781797179636-blackheart-man</a><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@bookstodon</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/audiobooks" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@audiobooks</a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/fantasy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fantasy</a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/lgbtq" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#lgbtq</a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/BookSale" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BookSale</a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/LibroFM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LibroFM</a>

Zivan - Childless Cat GuyThe Light Brigade by Kameron Hurley is on sale at LibroFM. A wonderful military SF page turner without the Jingoism that turns me off many books in the sub-genre. With a strong anti capitalist core. Told from the point of view of a grunt that finds herself unstuck in time, there is much more to a mission than just the fighting. We slowly build a picture of the world through the mosaic of Dietz's disjointed experiences.<a href="https://libro.fm/audiobooks/9781508280408-the-light-brigade" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://libro.fm/audiobooks/9781508280408-the-light-brigade</a>A time travel novel so good the Science Fiction Book Review Podcast reviewed it twice and gave it a rare 5 star rating.SFBRP #394: First Review<a href="https://www.sfbrp.com/archives/1558" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.sfbrp.com/archives/1558</a>SFBRP #416: Spolerific Review<a href="https://www.sfbrp.com/archives/1644" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.sfbrp.com/archives/1644</a><a href="https://masto.nu/@lukeburrage" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@lukeburrage</a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/BookSale" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BookSale</a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/LibroFM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LibroFM</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/audiobooks" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@audiobooks</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@bookstodon</a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/ScienceFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ScienceFiction</a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/TimeTravel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TimeTravel</a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/AbudioBooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AbudioBooks</a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/antifa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#antifa</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/@Kameronhurley" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@Kameronhurley</a>

Ami Angelwingshas anybody used libro.fm and can explain something to me? if a 1 month subscription comes with 1 audiobook credit for $18.99 CAD, and the audiobook I want is $34CAD if I purchase it standalone then wouldn't it be cheaper to just get a 1 month membership and get the audiobook with the credit and then cancel so it doesn't renew?Am I missing something? You get to keep the book you get with the credit just like if you bought it right?<a href="https://urusai.social/tags/audiobooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#audiobooks</a> <a href="https://urusai.social/tags/librofm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#librofm</a>
