Where To Find Free Audiobooks Online
Finding the time to read is a constant struggle. Between my kid's schools, swim training, and all the other things I have going on on a daily basis it can be hard to find the time to sit down and read. This is why I've been looking more into audiobooks.
I've listened to a few audiobooks in the past that I got sent by publishers, authors, or PR companies for review. Some were great. Others harder to get into. The narrator makes a big difference!
What I did like though was that audiobooks allow me to follow the story whilst doing other things at the same time. For example, it was a great way to kill the time whilst ironing or cooking.
As life seems to get even more busy with each year that passes, the idea of getting copies for review feels like it would leave me stressed. I don't like having to read a book to a deadline. It takes away some of the enjoyment of reading, and makes me feel like I have to read it. Too much pressure.
So, being the frugal gal I am, I decided to look into other ways to get free audiobooks. Whilst I love a good freebie, I'm not a fan of privacy sites (NEVER use them!), and so want to make sure that all the audiobooks I download are legal copies. I will also be reviewing each of the books I listen to in support of the authors.
Websites That Offer Free Audiobooks:
Audible - This is the first place I looked. I get ebooks from Amazon quite often so it was the first place to come to mind. They have a special offer that when you sign up you get 2 free audiobooks. I've yet to subscribe, but did find a few audiobooks listed on site for free anyway. It's much harder to find free audiobooks on here than it is to find free kindle reads though so you need time to search the site.
Librivox - This site is awesome! A great collection of books from the public domain. Searchable database by author, title, genre, and language. The objective of the site is:
To make all books in the public domain available, for free, in audio format on the internet.
All it's recordings are donated to the public domain. So far the quality of the audio I've listen to on this site is great.
Loyal Books - Another site offering free public domain audiobooks. Over 7000 titles in a variety of genres. This site also offers audiobooks in different languages.
Spotify - Yep, it's not just music. They have quite a large selection of audiobooks you can listen to too. Spotify is free to listen to, or you can go Premium if you don't want the ads. As I have this app on my phone I'll probably be using this quite often to listen to audiobooks now.
Free Audiobook Promo Codes - This is a new site I discovered thanks to Facebook where you can get promo codes to redeem via Audible. A great way to get free audiobooks! Like I said, it's a new site. They already have a nice selection available though. I'll definitely be checking back often.
