One step at a time sounds reasonable.
So I thought I would give the newly released audiobook version for this
next read, to try out reading along with the reader and Guidall, the
reader, has been praised here by the p-list. Anyhooz, so I go to audible.com
to see the price, 60 bucks, and reconsider. But it says "free with 30 day
trial." I used the 30 day trial long ago for something else but i clicked
it anyway and, whaddaya know, was granted another free audiobook. Is there
some loophole here that hasn't been addressed by audible/amazon?
