THE BEST FREE AUDIBLE BOOKS

Free Audiobooks? I’m Listening.

The Plus Catalogue is a whole library of free audiobooks for Audible members. Seriously. Freeeee. Now, let’s state the obvious. These are free for Audible subscribers. So that means a fee. One that starts from £7.99 a month. So…. Does that count as free?

 

I see it as an added bonus. A perk, if you will. Or maybe like the complimentary breakfast at a hotel. You pay for the room, you get to inhale the omelette bar. That’s a deal I can get behind. 

 

Excellent. Awkward part out of the way. Now we can get down to the quality of the selection. According to Audible, their Plus selection includes thousands of free audiobooks and podcasts, all of them Audible Originals. 

 

So far, things look promising. Good variety of genres, authors and titles and some truly brilliant listens. 

 

Just one last thing before we get to the reviews. Please keep supporting the authors and narrators where you can by buying audiobooks. 

 

Alright, here we go. Free audiobook reviews, no more waiting.

This first person account of a zombie apocalypse is made to sound like a real recording by its main character. And with it being just two hours long, this one’s a (ahem) no-brainer.

A sombre, but compelling take on the zombie genre, this has the prepper origins and close friendships of Sarah Lyons Fleming but with much more of a The Road style. An easy listen for any zombie fiction fan.

The Marriage Pact is an agreement. A promise to follow a few simple rules to keep your marriage happy. It’s also part of being in an exclusive, enigmatic and powerful club. For newlyweds Alice and Jake, it’s the start of a nightmare. This tale of manipulation reminded me of the Michael Douglas 90’s blockbuster The Game.

Carey Mulligan

average rating is 3 out of 5

The Midnight Library is one of the best audiobooks I’ve ever heard. Carey Mulligan delivers her usual incredible performance, while the premise of being able to right all wrongs was intoxicating. What’s more, I don’t think I would have heard it had it not been for the Plus Catalogue. was one of those listens I vaguely intended to buy, but never quite tempted me enough to warrant my monthly credit.
