Holiday season is upon us and while reading by the pool sounds nice it can be risky with splashing and discomfort holding your book up when you're tanning certain sides. There's one way to hit your reading target without even having to open your eyes - and it's free all summer.
Audible is Amazon's audiobook service and they've recently launched a deal that allows Prime members to take advantage of not just their first month free but their first three. Then it will cost £7.99 a month in a rolling contract until you choose to cancel.
Each month you get one credit, although you can upgrade your subscription to include two credits a month, which can be used in exchange for any book on the site. If you start a book and discover it's not to your tastes you can get a full refund of the credit and instantly use it to buy another.

Our very own resident bookworm recently went on a summer holiday to France where she opted to put away her Kindle and pop on an audiobook instead. She said: "I listened to Yellowface on a trip this month and it was great.
"When it was time to tan my back I didn't have to worry about pausing my reading and it meant I flew through the book. I'd been telling my friend all about it and we listened along to some of the later chapters in our hotel room - it was so fun having live reactions with someone else who was experiencing the book with me in the same way. It's a great way to read when you're travelling."
