After noticing most bloggers post a list of free or really close to free e-books, every week, month or just once in
awhile I decided to post a few free audiobooks. I love free
books. I mean who doesn't.
Yes, there is a such thing as a free audiobooks, and they are not just
boring old classics either. I seem to run across a few new ones here
and there. Some of them are short and sweet while others are prequels to popular series.
When I run across a couple of free audiobooks, I will post them for you to check out as well.
If you are new to audiobooks this is a great way to try one or two without spending any money. All of these title are FREE at the time of posting. Things could have changed.

It's Christmas in Half-Moon Hollow and newly turned vampire Iris
Scanlon-Calix wants to make Gigi's first visit home from college as
normal and special as possible. It's taken months for Iris to work up
the nerve to spend time around her baby sister after her vampire
transition, so she enlists help from Jane Jameson and Company to keep
her blood-thirst under control and assure Gigi's safety. Gigi, on the
other hand, has problems of her own, including the demise of her
relationship with high school sweetheart, Ben, and a looming job
interview with Ophelia Lambert, the scariest potential employer in the
Hollow. And then there's the small matter of the handsome, frustrating
vampire who keeps appearing in Gigi's peripheral vision, then
disappearing before she can talk to him. Can the Scanlon sisters
negotiate romantic problems, vampire politics, and Christmas cookie
disasters and enjoy a relatively normal holiday?

Emmy Award-winner Damian Lewis, who stars as Former Congressman and U.S. Marine Sergeant Nicholas Brody in the hit series Homeland, narrates this original Homeland

form of a letter to Carrie, his desperate escape by sea and land as the

analyst and a battle-scarred French mercenary, he stays in the
shadows...both physically and emotionally. But wherever he goes and
whoever he meets, he cannot stop thinking about Carrie.
This
powerful audio-only story is the perfect complement to your Season 3
viewing, and a great way for current and new fans to get to know what
drives one of the most fascinating characters on television.

Stop me if you've heard
this one. A thief, a candlemaker, an ex-mercenary, and a pig farmer walk
into a trap...and what happens to them is no joke. When Riyria is hired
to retrieve a jester's treasure, Royce and Hadrian must match wits with
a dwarf who proves to be anything but a fool. Difficult choices will
need to be made, and in the end those who laugh last do so because they
are the only ones to survive.
This is a standalone short story of 7,200 words. No prior knowledge of The Riyria Revelations or The Riyria Chronicles
is required to enjoy it to its fullest, making this a perfect
introduction for new readers or a chance for Riyria veterans to spend a
little more time with old friends. The Jester is a story of adventure,
bonds of friendship, and a recognition that the choices we make dictates
the future we find.
