That’s why we think gift shopping is made a whole lot easier when you can give that special someone access to over 425,000 audiobooks by gifting them an Audiobooks.com gift subscription. Talk about a book lover’s dream.

With 1, 3, 6, and 12-month prepaid subscriptions to Audiobooks.com, you can find the perfect gift for everyone. Click here to visit the Audiobooks.com gift center, read our step-by-step guide below on how to purchase a prepaid gift subscription, and don’t forget to check out our frequently asked questions below before grabbing a gift that will really speak to them.

How to purchase a prepaid gift subscription (step-by-step)

1. Navigate to https://www.audiobooks.com/gifts/give.

2. From the four options (1, 3, 6, or 12 months), click on the option you’d like to purchase.

3. Next, you can select a special design to be included with the gift subscription. The birthday and thank you options will always be available, and the third option is swapped seasonally.

4. You will then scroll down and will then decide how you’d like to deliver the gift to your recipient. If you select Email, you can either send it right away by choosing Now, or you can send it on a specific date by selecting Choose a delivery date.

If you’d like to give this gift in person, then you can select Print.

You will then enter the recipient’s information into the To field and your own information in the From field.

5. Next, scroll down and enter the personalized message that you’d like included with your gift. This is optional; if you do not input a message, a pre-populated message will be included.

6. Your final personalization option is to include a recommended audiobook. This will simply be a recommendation for how they should spend their monthly credit, and the audiobook will not be gifted to them. To select a recommended audiobook, click the Select an audiobook button. A pop-up will appear where you can search for the audiobook you’d like to recommend.

7. Once all your personalization and information has been filled out, click Continue to checkout.

8. If you are already an Audiobooks.com member, click Log in Now at the top of the screen.

9. Once your Account Information and Billing Information have been completed, you can review this page to ensure your order details are correct. If everything looks good, you will then click Confirm Purchase.

10. You will receive an email confirming your purchase. Once your recipient has redeemed the gift you’ve sent them, you will receive another email to confirm that they have redeemed it.

And that’s it! All that’s left is for your gift recipient (or yourself if you decided to treat yourself) to enjoy access to 425,000+ audiobooks, extra listening with our VIP Rewards, and tons of other member benefits every month!

The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas, narrated by Bahni Turpin

Sixteen-year-old Starr Carter moves between two worlds: the poor neighborhood where she lives and the fancy suburban prep school she attends.

Soon afterward, his death is a national headline. Some are calling him a thug, maybe even a drug dealer and a gangbanger. Protesters are taking to the streets in Khalil’s name. Some cops and the local drug lord try to intimidate Starr and her family. What everyone wants to know is: what really went down that night? And the only person alive who can answer that is Starr.
