This is free to listen.

An Australian con woman discovers a billionaire is involved in human trafficking while searching through his files. Her background prevents her from going to the authorities, instead she decides to attempt to rescue the victims by infiltrating Tyler's sordid parties as a guest. What follows is an extreme and eye opening journey through the dark bowels of power, wealth and depravity. Orgies, hazing rituals, the threat of personal harm and extreme risk become her world.

Your feedback is appreciated! I am still trying to learn how to navigate this writing game, any help would be great!

I have five credits on audible and looking to discontinue the service since I don't use it too much (believe I lose the credits if I haven't spent them when I discontinue). Looking for some recs to spend my five on before I discontinue. I'm open to anything except straight up school textbooks/self-help/religion and political guides/so much porn uptime headphones are absolutely required in a house with other people lol.

Rn my library is The Martian and Project Hail Mary, some He Who Fights With Monsters, American Gods, some The Hangman's Daughter and The Faithful Executioner. My non-audible libraries cover a wide range like a history of Charlie Chaplain fighting spiritualists, Greek BC city state warfare, Star Trek novels, The Princess Diaries and Percy Jackson series, Andrew Lang's fairy books, Water Margin, Altered Carbon, etc so really wide open to suggestions from across the board.

The final 6 books have been numbered out of main continuity, because the labelled 40th is the first children's novel in the series, and 41-45 are a miniseries, also for children. However, the file metadata is all in release order, so if viewed in Explorer they will order themselves by release.

"Discworld is a comic fantasy book series written by the English author Terry Pratchett, set on the Discworld, a flat planet balanced on the backs of four elephants which in turn stand on the back of a giant turtle. The series began in 1983 with The Colour of Magic and continued until the final novel The Shepherd's Crown was published in 2015, following Pratchett's death. The books frequently parody or take inspiration from J. R. R. Tolkien, Robert E. Howard, H. P. Lovecraft, Charles Dickens and William Shakespeare, as well as mythology, folklore and fairy tales, often using them for satirical parallels with cultural, political and scientific issues."

I found that many websites offering free audiobooks have cumbersome search features, making it difficult to find what you want. To solve this problem, I’ve built a site that gathers audiobooks from various platforms, complete with reviews and ratings, to help you easily discover and explore new titles.

In the depths of the cosmos, the relentless Xortaag armada sweeps across the galaxy, leaving shattered worlds in its wake. Now, their sights are set on Earth.

In 2110 Earth is suffering major resource shortages, and the impact of climate change is peaking, with much of the planet's equatorial regions turned to lifeless desert and populations displaced.

For people who choose Audible over something like Libro.fm that does not use DRM, why do you do it?

I listened to a couple of these on Audible and liked them

Just finished the most recent Dungeon Crawler Carl book and look for suggestions! I also am a big fan of John Scalzi, especially those narrated by Wil Wheaton.

He is probably one of my favorite authors and I love Fuzzy Nation. I also swear he must have been a lawyer in another life.

For me it was Audibles "The Great Courses - Ancient Egypt" with Egyptologist Bob Brier. It's 24h long but it is really worth it.

Just saw there is a new Dungeon Crawler Carl book out. Hopefully they have the audiobook out soon. That may be one of most favorite series.
