I seriously cannot believe that Mother’s Day is a little over a week away. It seems like just yesterday kids were handing out Valentine’s Day cards and the kids in my kindergarten classroom were creating a trap to capture the leprechaun. Time sure does fly too quickly.
Now that both of my kids have jobs, I am curious to see what they are going to get me for Mother’s Day.
To be honest, I would prefer that they just make me something from the heart. If not, I am MORE than happy with a clean house. LOL!
My mom passed away 15+ years ago. I miss spoiling her on Mother’s Day. It was always important to me to get her a unique gift – something she wouldn’t expect.
Flowers and jewelry are nice, but there is nothing unique about them. Those are cliché Mother’s Day gifts. I think most moms anticipate gifts like those.
This year why not give mom something unique and unexpected – a gift code or gift subscription to Audiobooks.com.
Most moms are very busy people. Between taking care of their children/family, doing the housework, cooking, running errands and working outside of the home – moms don’t have much time to themselves.
As a busy mom I can tell you first hand that finding the time to read a book is next to impossible. If I don’t have something to do (which is rare), it’s hard to sit and relax. Most of the time when I sit down to read a book the phone rings, my kids need me for something, the cat is puking up a hairball… the list goes on and on.
It seems like the only time I have a moment to myself is when I am driving to and from work. It’s just me in the car. I can enjoy MY music (and not my kid’s music) or simply enjoy the sounds of “life” (cars, birds, a distant train…).
With Audiobooks, I can listen to a book being read to me while driving in my car. That means I can listen to popular books – books I really wanted to read myself – being read to me on my commute. That is an awesome idea! Why didn’t I think about that sooner.
Audiobooks offers 1,3,6 and 12 month subscriptions. Each month you can enjoy one new book (you have the option of buying more credits to listen to more books). You can even gift a specific book.
Each month is $14.95. When you think about it, many books are that price and higher. So it is like receiving a brand, new book each month.
Audiobooks has many titles to choose from. You can browse by genre (mystery, horror, romance, sports, science & technology, travel, fiction, non-fiction, biographies, health & wellness…) or by book lists (New York Times Best Sellers, Oprah’s Book Club, Pulitzer Prize Winners…).
I was on the site for only a few minutes and found several books that sound really interesting.
Audiobooks does offer a FREE 30-day trial. You can also sample books for FREE to make sure it’s something you would be interested in listening to. Each sample is five minutes long.

Audiobooks can also be found on social media. All of their links are found on the bottom of their website. Follow them to learn more about new releases, sales, staff picks and more.
