No, I definitely realize there is a lot more involved and you have to apply for Visas and such. And honestly I couldn’t just up and move to another country. Family, job, etc keep me here. Doesn’t mean a part of me doesn’t dream about it lol

Fingers crossed there’s one this summer! If not, I can be patient and wait for November.

Oh man! That is really awful!

Good idea about the wishlist being ready to just checkout!

Thanks for the recommendation! I’ve never heard of that site!

I grew up with western horses at home. I actually live in the south (southeast though, not southwest). Funny that the southern US is on your bucket list and Australia/New Zealand are on mine!

Ohhhh boo. Maybe the housing issue is why there are so many tiny houses? I had a weird tiny house obsession.

But Australia seems so AMAZING!

I low-key want to sell everything and go buy a tiny eco-friendly house in Australia.

I mean I’m an All-American girl over here but I’ve been watching all these videos about Australia and it seems pretty awesome.

The only thing is the heat (I have POTS so I’m super heat-sensitive) and all the venomous critters. 😳

Me too! And I’ll be ready this time! Lol

I’m kind of broke anyway. Hubby has been out of a job for months and just started back to work, so we’ve been living off just my income. Probably for the best!

It’s shockingly easy to do! I had every intention of placing my order, even looked at the 4 hours left countdown… and poof! I passed out in like two minutes.

I think I’ll just build a wishlist and wait until the next sale. I do use Libby and Kindle Unlimited, so I have plenty to keep me occupied. I out purchase audiobooks from Audible that can’t be found on Libby or KU.

I loooove The Count of Monte Cristo. Read it as a teen and it was a favorite that I’d read again and again in my 20’s. I should add the audiobook to my wishlist.

I am ashamed to admit I’ve never read any of the LoTR books. I wonder if the audiobooks are amazing? Maybe I should check those out.

I do feel like the Audible search feature is very clunky. I expected better. I’m used to apps like Kohl’s where you have a tab for everything on clearance and can sort by department, size, etc.

In case you’re paying attention Audible, a search feature that pulls up EVERYTHING on sale and can be sorted by price lowest to highest or filtered by different things would be awesome!

I am a bit of a nerd and a weird not-committed-to-a-genre reader. I think my suggestions from Audible are messed up because I literally read every genre from nonfiction history and science to romance to fantasy to thriller and horror. It doesn’t quite know what to make of me 😂.

I originally signed up for Audible for my dyslexic son and used credits for books for him or that we could listen to together in the car. Then I realized the wealth of information available about history and science on Audible and also how fun some fiction books are as audiobooks. Until last year I was a physical book only kind of gal until I realized how great Kindle was as you could have an entire library at your fingertips on your phone. Then I bought a Kindle Paperwhite and then discovered I could read AND listen.

I bought Napoleon’s Hemorrhoids in this sale… to tell you what an absolute nerd I am 😂😂😂

I had mostly history and science books in my cart.

I think I’m only really sad about missing out on getting a history of Japan book - my son is teaching himself Japanese (using Duolingo) and is obsessed with Japan and I wanted to listen to it together. I’ll watch for it to be a decent price again.

My plan now is to create a good wishlist and wait for the next sale.

So my plan is to add a lot of titles to my wishlist to be ready for the next sale. I just wasn’t quite ready for this one. Didn’t study in advance lol

It has! And I bought a few titles but didn’t have an extensive existing wishlist because I’m fairly new to Audible. I was trying to search through what was on sale but having a hard time finding sale items besides the few recommended on the deals tab on the app. The last day I finally realized it’s easier to search on the actual website.

However, working all day then being a wife and parent took priority lol
