Amazon See more of our coverage in your search results.

Add The New York Post on Google Amazon has officially announced the return of its pre-Black Friday sales extravaganza — Prime Big Deal Days, a.k.a. October Prime Day.

This year, the sale will take place on October 6 and 7, but early deals are already rolling in, and just like years past, the discounts don’t stop at physical products. A new offer on Audible is available to take advantage of now, ahead of Prime Day 2026.

With this Audible deal, eligible Amazon Prime Members can sign up to get a three-month trial of Audible Standard for $3 total — which basically means you’ll get one audiobook of your choice for just $1 every month for three months.

You’ll need to be an Amazon Prime subscriber to sign up and try Audible for $1 today.

A Prime membership costs $14.99/month or $139/year, and in addition to exclusive deals, you’ll gain access to free books on Prime Reading, the Prime Video streaming service, and so much more. New subscribers also get a 30-day free trial before payment begins.

RELATED: We put Audible to the test — is it worth it?

As an avid audiobook listener myself, here are some titles I’d recommend new Audible subscribers use their credits on.

One of the hottest books of the year so far, “Yesteryear” follows a “tradwife” influencer who suddenly awakens in the brutal reality of 1855, where she must unravel whether this living nightmare is an elaborate hoax, a twisted reality show, or something far more sinister.

The last time we saw the women of “Big Little Lies”—Madeline, Celeste, Jane, Renata, and Bonnie —their children were five years old. If someone wasn’t invited to a birthday party, feelings were hurt. But ten years have passed and the kids are in high school, navigating all of the drama that accompanies teenhood (goodbye playdates, hello drugs, sex, and alcohol).

Abandoned by her mother one Christmas Eve, eleven-year-old Meg Lefleur has learned the hard way to rely on no one as she fights each day to keep her spirit unbowed. Birdie Calhoun, unmarried and outspoken, has come to Oxford to ask her socialite sister to help the struggling family she’s left behind. But as the Depression tightens its grip, Birdie discovers her sister’s seemingly charmed life is a tapestry of lies.

Hired to be a ghostwriter for renowned author Verity Crawford, Lowen Ashleigh’s assignment takes a dark turn when she discovers chilling autobiographical notes. As she wrestles with disturbing and twisted confessions about Verity’s husband, she soon finds it hard to separate fiction from reality, manipulation from attraction, and opportunity from obsession. Soon to be a motion picture starring Anne Hathaway, Dakota Johnson and Josh Hartnett.

Set in the rich farmland of California’s Salinas Valley, this sprawling and often brutal novel follows the intertwined destinies of two families — the Trasks and the Hamiltons —whose generations helplessly reenact the fall of Adam and Eve and the poisonous rivalry of Cain and Abel. Soon to be a Netflix limited series starring Florence Pugh and Christopher Abbott.

As the day dawns on the 50th annual Hunger Games, fear grips the districts of Panem. In District 12, Haymitch Abernathy is trying not to think too hard about his chances. All he cares about is making it through the day and being with the girl he loves. When Haymitch’s name is called, he can feel all his dreams break. He’s torn from his family and his love, shuttled to the Capitol with the three other District 12 tributes, and as the games begin, Haymitch understands he’s been set up to fail.

Bestselling authors and podcast hosts Joe Posnanski and Mike Schur love games — almost any game! — and they bring readers to the front row (and sometimes even right onto the field). Through crushing defeats and glorious wins, whether cheering penalty kicks with 65,000 fans in Liverpool or beholding a chess master castling in dead silence, ‘BIG FAN’ is about why we love what we love and how fandom connects us in a time when so much else pulls us apart.

Through character actress turned gossip columnist Edie O’Dare’s eyes, author Lindsay Lynch draws back the curtain on classic Hollywood’s secrets, bringing the golden age of Hollywood to glittering life, from star-studded opening nights to backlot brawls.

Ej Dickson takes a sharp, provocative look at one of society’s most polarizing labels: the “bad mom.” What makes a mother “bad,” and why? Through the lens of pop culture and American history, Ej Dickson explores how this trope has evolved — from Victorian “angels in the house” to the infamous “Mommie Dearest,” from Instagram influencers like EmRata and Mormon momfluencers to fictional icons like “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”.

The first book in the wildly popular LitRPG sci-fi fantasy series, “Dungeon Crawler Carl” follows Coast Guard veteran Carl and his ex-girlfriend’s prize-winning show cat, Princess Donut, as they fight to survive an apocalyptic, alien-televised intergalactic game show.

“Project Hail Mary” was recently turned into a blockbuster movie starring Ryan Gosling. The novel follows Dr. Ryland Grace, a middle school science teacher who wakes up alone in deep space. Grace must figure out why he’s there and later, how to save the entire world from the sun’s impending death.

Hugh Laurie, Matthew Macfadyen, and Riz Ahmed are among the famous names in the new audio cast of the Harry Potter series.
