June is Audiobook Month (JIAM) - Giveaway!

I love audiobooks! If you love listening as well or have never tried listening, I have an amazing giveaway for you today - eight great audio downloads, courtesy of the Audio Publishers Association!

Why do I enjoy audiobooks so much? They make the long drive to and from work much more enjoyable. They allow me to multitask - many a quilt has been made while listening. When I can't sleep, I pop in the headphones, as the light bother my husband. And the biggest reason is that sometimes a book is just better for me in audio format - I find I become more immersed in the story by listening.

One of my favorites is The Passage by Justin Cronin. This is the first book is in an apocalyptic trilogy. The reader for all three entries is Scott Brick. Brick is a fantastic narrator. Or perhaps I should say performer. His voice is amazingly expressive. He narrates all three books. Listen to an excerpt of The Passage.(My review)


Lisa Genova's Every Note Played is one of those titles that I know I enjoyed more by listening. Every Note Played is a personal story that is very emotional. There were dual narrators - Dennis Boutsikaris and Dagmara Dominczyk - who made me feel like I was in the room with them. Listen to an excerpt of Every Note Played. (my review)


I enjoy memoirs and biographies. I really enjoyed North of Normal by Cea Sunrise Person. Even better as the author herself is the reader. Listen to an excerpt of North of Normal. (my review)




And right now, I'm listening to Stephen King's latest - The Outsider.  The reader is one of my favorite narrators - Will Patton. He has a myriad of voices for King's large cast of characters. And his interpretation is so good! Listen to an excerpt of The Outsider.
