Prime Day is officially right around the corner (October 6-7), but you do not have to wait until next month to score the best perks. The early deals are officially live, and this year, Amazon dropped a massive surprise for book lovers and music fans alike.
Right now, Prime members can head over to this Amazon Promo Page to score four months of Amazon Music Unlimited completely free (non-Prime members can still grab a fantastic three-month free trial!).
My absolute favorite part? Audible is now included directly inside the Amazon Music Unlimited app! That means you get a free best-selling audiobook credit every single month of your trial.
If you grabbed the free Audible deal I posted back in June, this offer actually stacks—giving you an extra four months of free access! Just make sure to cancel your original standalone Audible trial so you don’t duplicate accounts. Amazon Music Unlimited auto-renews at $11.99/month after the trial, but you can easily cancel anytime with a few clicks in your Amazon settings.
🎧 How to Claim This Deal (Don’t Miss This Step!)
Because this is a brand-new setup, a few readers have gotten turned down by searching the wrong app. Follow these quick steps to ensure it works flawlessly:
- Click this link: Lock in your free months via the Amazon Music Portal.
- Download the app: Make sure you download and open the Amazon Music App (not the regular Audible app).
- Claim your book: Navigate to your music dashboard, go to the Audible tab, pick your audiobook, and start listening!
What I’ve Listened to So Far:
Listening to books during my daily drive has happily turned my car into a mobile library. I am officially hooked on listening during my morning routines, workouts, road trips, flights, and errands around town. If you are wondering how to spend your first free monthly credits, here are the titles I’ve tried:
| Audiobook | Genre | Listen Time | Perfect For |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Calamity Club | Historical Fiction | 28h 44m | Long road trips & family sagas |
| Yesteryear | Satirical Thriller | 11h 15m | Pop-culture fans & drama |
| Biological War | Investigative Non-Fiction | 13h 10m | Thriller & current events fans |
| Atomic Habits | Self-Improvement | 5h 35m | Quick, life-changing upgrades |
The Mini Reviews
- The Vibe: From the bestselling author of The Help, this is a captivating novel about family, friendship, resilience, and fierce women.
- My Take: The narration is top-notch. At nearly 29 hours long, this single audiobook will cover your carpool commutes for the next month (and you’ll never get bored)!
- The Vibe: A viral “tradwife” social media influencer wakes up trapped in the brutal, unglamorous reality of 1855. Part psychological thriller, part dark comedy satire.
- My Take: This is the bingeable Good Morning America Book Club pick everyone is talking about—grab your copy before the upcoming Anne Hathaway movie hits screens. I honestly could not stand the main character, Natalie, but somehow that made the book even better!
- My Take: The depth of research in this book is genuinely frightening. It is the perfect follow-up if you read her smash-hit Nuclear War: A Scenario. It definitely leaves a lasting impression!
Atomic Habits by James Clear
- The Vibe: The ultimate guide to breaking bad routines and letting tiny 1% daily changes compound into massive results over time.
- My Take: Investing in yourself doesn’t have to cost a dime (especially when you can listen to this book for free). If you haven’t read this yet, you’re missing out on small, actionable life hacks that deliver massive results. It worked for me years ago, and those daily systems are here to stay!
🎯 Next on My List…
I just downloaded the new release, Whistler: A Novel by Ann Patchett, and will report back when I finish it.
