    @ryan I'm sure we all give enough of our money to Amazon that we deserve a couple of free audiobooks every now and then

    @ryan-carruthers @Keith-Anderson I get loads of Audible. Another feature you might not be aware of is that you can return books and get a refund. You have 12 months from when you purchase them. They don't question it but the general rule is "don't take the p**s". Some audiobooks are dreadful or not what you were expecting at all so it's valid to return them. I've returned about 5-6 books before they removed that feature but it'll reinstate every 12 months I believe.

    Finally, if you have a library card or a member of your local library, most local councils are registered with ebook and audiobook lenders. It's the same as Audible/ Kindle but you borrow books. Croydon Libraries use one called Libby which is excellent.

    Ive never been a huge audible fan I prefer the book, but I have found recently that I used audible as there's books I wanted to read but I never seem to be able to with the baby so I got audible and am getting through more I am hooked.

    There is also Whispersync which links to kindle and audible and will pick up where you left off!

    Slightly off topic, but if anyone uses Audible there is a 2 for 1 sale currently on with quite a lot of decent books included.

    Its probably common knowledge, but if you use Audible never pay the full price for books. It’s most cost effective to buy 3 more tokens and each book works out about £4. They’re also forever having some sort of sale on.

    (Apologises, that is the cost consultant in me coming out)

    I buy loads from audible. I love it!

    GOT went down the same route as LOTR with the Hobbit. Shall we just have another battle episode but make it bigger than the last one?

    Not watched the Hobbit yet for this reason.

    Me neither, although I didnt think that much of LOTR, 9 hours of walking and listening to/looking at Orlando feckin Bloom.

    He wasn't in about half of it haha! Did you even watch it haha??

    Yea I did but cant stand him so it sticks in the mind lol. Vigo was good as Aragorn though, decent actor that, A history of Violence is brilliant.

    I just have a bit of a downer on LOTR, probably the only person in the world haha, appreciate that when written it was waaay ahead of its time in the genre and led the way. Just did not really buy into it that much. Tom Bombadil missing from the films was a downer too.

    Also I read the Silmarillion and that was tough going.

    Tolkien is spinning in his grave right now hàha

    The Hobbit was just a more child friendly version of Lord of the rings, LOTR was one of my top tier list, i honestly hope when it comes to the new amazon series that its with the originals in mind

    I'm with you on that. LOTR was next level. I've got high hopes for the television series.

    LOTR one of the only films/series of films that's inspired me to read the novel. Plenty of novels have worked the other way around but not many films that make me think I want to read 400 pages of that. In this case, well over 1000.

    The Handmaid’s Tale, The Expanse and The Boys all got me doing that. The Boys being Graphic Novels.
