For those of you new to the audiobook world, Audible is a subscription-based app where you get access to thousands of book titles. They have audio versions of books ranging from NY Times bestsellers to lesser-known titles. Whether it’s self-help, a new autobiography of someone you admire, or a thrilling murder-mystery, they have it all. They also feature hundreds of Audible Originals that you won’t be able to find anywhere else. We challenge you to think of a book they don’t have an audio version of. We bet you’ll have a hard time coming up with a title or author they don’t have.

Is Audible Worth It?

We love Audible because of one simple truth, we are all super busy. We’d all love to read more. There’s not one among us that doesn’t have a long list of books they’ve been meaning to read for years but just couldn’t find the time. Well, thanks to modern technology and Audible, now you can. Simply pop in your headphones while you’re commuting to work, walking the dog, or on the old exercise bike, and you’ll knock-out that list in no time. It’s a great way to relieve stress, to learn something new, or have a laugh. Don’t worry about keeping track of your place in the book. The app that’s available for iOS and Android does it for you.

Suppose you don’t have the attention-span to power through a full audiobook. In that case, Audible also has tons of ad-free popular podcasts and original, exclusive series. They’ve even got soothing sleep sounds that will help you sleep like a baby. Speaking of babies, kids love Audible too! They have a vast selection of children’s titles that are brought to life by skilled voice actors. If these aren’t enough reasons to join Audible, they’ve also got a massive selection of titles in almost every language. So if you’re trying to hone your Spanish speaking, or need a gift for your Chinese-speaking grandma, this is the answer.

So, this Cyber Monday, give the gift of audio-literature to yourself and a loved one for the holidays. You’re probably already tired from all of this Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping. There’s no better way to unwind than a nice cold (or warm) beverage and your favorite book-read to you!

Cape Verde’s miraculous run is what FIFA World Cup is all about
It's easy to see why almost everyone was rooting for Cape Verde in the World Cup.
Cape Verde World Cup team

I'm here in Mexico City for the summer, and watching World Cup games with such a rabid fan base has been nothing short of spectacular. Every game is hyped. Every bar and restaurant has rows of TVs with the volume turned all the way up, and everyone's having a blast drinking chelas (beer for the non-Spanish-speaking folks) while watching the intensity of it all. For group play, I've been watching from the comfort of my sofa. But after watching Mexico dominate in group play, I was determined to watch as many knockout games as possible at a packed bar to breathe the atmosphere.

And I'm so glad that I did.

Novak Djokovic now holds the all-time record for most men’s singles match wins at Wimbledon
Djokovic persevered in a grueling match to accomplish the feat.
Novak Djokovic

The king of the most revered grass court in the world is no longer Roger Federer. The crown now belongs to one Novak Djokovic, who needed every bit of grit and moxie to stake his claim as the all-time men's singles match winner at Wimbledon.

To get there, Serbian superstar and 7th seed had to dig deep to persevere against world No. 132 Roman Safiullin, who endeared himself to tennis fans by stretching the Centre Court match to extra sets on Sunday. It was no easy task, to say the least. Djokovic looked visibly frustrated throughout the match. At one point, Djokovic let out an audible obscenity, which triggered a warning from the umpire. He also uncharacteristically double-faulted, which might have been the result of vision problems on the court.

Nobody told Cape Verde they should have been happy to be here, and it was almost bad news for Argentina.

The squads that couldn't be further apart in world rankings (Argentina is No. 1 and Cape Verde is No. 67) clashed in what resulted in one of the best thrillers in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, because this was David against Goliath.
