This thread is similar in spirit to the Kindle Unlimited titles that you recommend thread. There are a number of titles roatating into the Audible Plus free listening catalog that are worth posting about.
Some of these titles are ones that I would recommend as Kindle book titles (if they every go on sale again). Here's one that I was fortunate enough to buy in eBook form on November 11, 2012, when it dipped to $1.99, and that I picked up in an Audible sale for $5.99 on January 15, 2020
The Long Ships (New York Review Books Classics) by Frans G. Bengtsson, Michael Chabon, Michael Meyer $11.99
Audiobook The Long Ships narrated by Michael Page, unabridged, 20 hrs and 12 mins Highbridge Audio released 12-05-17
It's really good as an audiobook, and those of you who liked Kristin Lavransdatter: (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) (The Kristin Lavransdatter Trilogy) by Sigrid Undset (her nobel-prize winning book in the Tina Nunally translation) will like this. Although Bengstsson wrote this in 1955, its style is that of the old sagas.
Wasnt sure where to put this but for Audible members with access to the catalogue I just realised that The Lady Violet Mysteries by Grace Burrowes are now available in Australia to listen for free, hopefully US and UK also have access. I’ve been thinking that we may need to start a separate forum for miscellaneous items like this. That’s like my previous confusion over where to put my post about realizing the first two audiobooks for Michelle Diener’s Class 5 books could be purchased for $0.99 each from Audible (or from Amazon) before 12/31/2023.
I also just discovered that Robert J. Sawyer has a free (for Audible Plus) members book that got released at the end of October. In the U.S. store this is The Downloaded and the book release (paperback) isn’t due to come out until May 2024, so it isn’t as though I could have found this with a book reference.
I only found out about the muti-country free Audible release when I went to the author’s web page at https://www.sfwriter.com/ just now. Sawyer is one of 7 writers who has won all the top 3 international awards for science fiction: the Hugo, Nebula and John W. Campbell awards
I also found a lot of Guy Gavriel Kay titles are now on Audible Plus. These are epoch fantasies based loosely on historical periods reimagined. (I wouldn’t start on his Fionavar books that are different and can be dark unless you know more about these)
