Reading an awesome book is often a rejuvenating and relaxing experience, but you definitely need to set aside some time to do it. Not everyone can read in noisy or busy environments. Worse yet, not everyone has time to sit down and enjoy a novel, magazine, or even a comic. That’s where audiobooks come into the mix. You can listen to an audiobook during your commute, while working out, while mowing the lawn, or while doing any number of busy tasks.

If you’re not sold on the idea, you can take advantage of Audible’s free trial to get access to a huge library of audiobooks and more. With a standard free trial, you get access to the library, and 1 credit, which you can use to purchase any book, at any price. That book then becomes yours even after the subscription is over. Why not give it a try?

Audible is a reading subscription service that includes access to audiobooks, guided wellness content, podcasts, and original media. The service also hosts member exclusive sales on a range of content, with prices typically much lower than you’d find anywhere else. You can listen to audible content on your smartphone, tablet, Fire TV devices, or even Amazon Echo devices with Alexa’s help. That also means the 10 best audio books on Audible are available across all of those devices.

Signing up for the 30-day Audible trial is free. Once the trial concludes, you will be charged $14.95 a month, for 30 days. However, you can cancel your trial and subscription, at anytime. If and when you cancel, you lose access to the basic Audible library but you get to keep any books you’ve purchased with your credits. You will receive a friendly email reminder just before your trial is over, allowing you ample time to decide if you want to renew or cancel.

Overall, it’s an excellent option for students, busy professionals, and busy parents, who don’t necessarily have time to sit down and read, yet still want to. Audiobooks are great, and they’re often narrated by creative voice actors, giving the experience a little more tone and intrigue.

How Do You Get 2 Books for Free?

New Audible Plus subscribers will get 1 premium credit with their trial, but Prime Members will get 2 credits, allowing you to purchase up to 2 books. The credits work, quite simply, like virtual currency through the Audible service. Your Audible subscription comes with access to many audiobooks, as part of the basic library, but there are some that are not included. You can use your credits to purchase those books, no matter what price they are. Once purchased, you also get to keep the books, even if your subscription expires. However, just be aware, if your subscription does end, you’ll lose any credits you’ve accrued but haven’t spent.

Is 21-Year-Old Jackson Koivun the Future of Golf? Scottie Scheffler Already Offering High Praise
Adult, Male, Man

The future is here, and his name is Jackson Koivun. The 21-year-old made only his third pro start over the weekend at TPC Twin Cities, where he fended off world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler to capture the 3M Open. It’s Koivun’s first PGA Tour win, but it’s not just that he won. It’s how he won that impressed the golf world, including Scheffler.

The Auburn alum entered the final day of the tournament with a three-stroke lead, and he didn’t let up. Koivun got off to a stellar start on the front nine. He later admitted that he had nerves heading into the back nine, but it didn’t show. Koivun posted two birdies on the back nine and finished the final round bogey-free. He’d go on to win by three strokes. He finished 5-under 66 on Sunday and set a tournament-record 25-under 259 total.

Head, Person, Face

Lewis Hamilton is having a rebound year for Ferrari. Ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix in Budapest, the 41-year-old was looking to accomplish something no driver had ever done there: earn his 10th pole position. McLaren’s Lando Norris, however, had different plans.

At the last second, Norris snatched Hamilton’s chances at making history in Hungarian Grand Prix qualifying. Norris crossed the line with a qualifying time of 1:17.207 to take pole position, followed by Hamilton (1:17.219) and his Ferrari teammate, Charles Leclerc (1:17.445). 19-year-old sensation Kimi Antonelli (1:17.479) settled for fourth place for Mercedes.

Saturday Packs a Punch With Anthony Joshua vs. Kristian Prenga and Errol Spence Jr. vs. Tim Tszyu
Adult, Male, Man

Your Saturday is pretty much booked if you’re a big boxing fan. But if not for Tyson Fury, the action would have actually started Friday morning with his heavyweight bout against Poland’s Mariusz Wach, which was NOT televised because the so-called Gypsy King opted to save the footage for the upcoming season of his Netflix series, At Home With the Furys. According to reports, Fury squared off against Wach at Max Muay Thai Stadium in Thailand, where Fury secured a seventh-round TKO. Fury’s dominant win sets up a once-in-a-generation heavyweight showdown against Anthony Joshua, provided the British boxing star keeps his end of the bargain on Saturday.

Joshua’s long-awaited return to the ring comes against Kristian Prenga in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, as part of Riyadh Season. It’s Joshua’s first fight since he brutally knocked out Jake Paul at Kaseya Center in Miami in December 2025. While his fight against Paul was a sanctioned contest, Joshua’s last fight against a legitimate boxer came against Daniel Dubois in September 2024. Joshua, who was a passenger in a deadly car crash that killed one of his best friends in Nigeria days after the Paul fight, lost to Dubois via a fifth-round knockout.
