O’s Little Books and Guides are my latest indulgence and I just have to share!
These audiobooks contain an amazing collection of short stories written by various authors on different topics and put together by the editors of O, The Oprah Magazine.
Whether you are looking to add a bit of inspiration and depth to the daily grind, seeking confirmation that you are not alone in the struggles of life, or just a sucker for a good, heartwarming story, these essay collections are sure to engage your mind and expand your soul!
Before you get started, I want to take a minute to tell you about my recent discovery of Scribd. How I had not discovered it sooner, I have no clue!
I have tried several audiobook subscription services and while they usually have SOME free audiobooks (e.g. stuff no-one wants to hear), the good ones can usually be purchased for an additional fee.
For you, I took the liberty of doing a little comparison shopping of JUST the titles mentioned in this post.
Scribd
Scribd Offers: Free 30-day trial. $9.99 a month. Cancel anytime.
What I have found so far is that Scribd has an EXTENSIVE collection of audiobooks that are INCLUDED with your monthly membership.
With Scribd, EVERY SINGLE ONE of the audiobooks mentioned in this post is INCLUDED (both in the Free Trial AND Paid Monthly Subscription) at no additional cost.
And now that I think about it, I haven’t come across a single title I wanted to read or listen to that wasn’t INCLUDED in the Scribd membership.
In the spirit of full disclosure, I subscribe to both Scribd and Audible at the moment and I wanted to see what the same titles would cost if purchased through my current Audible subscription.
Audible
Free 30-day trial. $14.95 a month. Cancel anytime. Credit for one (1) FREE audio-book per month + (2) Audible Originals
You can exchange your monthly credit to purchase ONE of these titles OR pay the following prices in ADDITION to the monthly subscription cost.
- Wisdom of Sundays – $20.99
- O’s…Love and Friendship – $13.99
- O’s…Happiness – 13.99
- O’s…Calm and Comfort – 12.59
- O’s…Starting Over – 13.99
- O’s…Finding Your True Purpose – 13.99
- O’s…Big Questions – 13.99
For me, it’s an obvious choice. Scribd has my vote for this audiobook collection.
In all fairness, I did find that audible gets the new releases out there a bit sooner than Scribd but if you can wait on the new stuff, it looks like it is the more cost effective option.
No matter which service you choose, dive in and get ready to be inspired!
The Wisdom of Sundays
I know this post is all about O’s Little Books and Guides but this, THIS my friends, is the book that hooked me. I’m an Oprah fan from way back. LOVE Oprah! When I was younger and someone asked “If you could be anybody in the world…” yep Oprah.
And believe it or not, it was not because of her financial status. I love what she DOES with her money but I don’t see it as defining her. She has always seemed to me like one of the most down-to-earth, wise, loving, caring souls on the planet.
This book is packed with great stories and life-changing wisdom. I’m now listening to it in my car for the third time….just in
This beautiful, cherishable audiobook is organized into 10 chapters – each one representing a powerful step in Oprah’s own spiritual journey. Each chapter begins with an intimate personal essay written and read by Oprah herself before launching into deeply affecting conversation with some of today’s most-admired thought leaders. I wish everyone would read or listen to this book.
