If you’re the kind of person who likes to read the books your favorite shows and movies are based on, we have some good news for you.
Audible is running a Cyber Week deal that’ll take 60% off your first four months of Premium Plus and you’ll also get an additional $20 in Audible credit to spend on additional audiobooks.
Instead of $14.99/month, your first four months will be just $5.95, and each of those months includes one credit to buy any audiobook in the Audible library.
You can cancel an Audible Premium Plus membership at any time, and be able to keep all of the books you used a credit (whether it was a monthly credit, or a book you purchased with the $20 bonus) to buy in your library even after you’re no longer a member.
Below, we’ve rounded up some of the books that inspired this year’s most talked-about movies and TV shows with information on how much they’ll cost with a credit, without a credit, and discounted hard copies, in case you’re not into reading with your ears.
