Audiobook Challenge
Back in 2008, after reading the series Twilight and in my efforts to fuel my addiction I discovered the pleasure of a well narrated audio book; I've never looked back since.Since then, I no longer have to be away from my favorite books and characters, because now they come along with me for a ride, grocery shopping, while I’m cooking or doing all my house chores, and let me tell you, my house has never looked cleaner.
So when Jennifer at The Book Nympho asked me if wanted to co-host this challenge, I was more than thrilled to accept.There has never been a better time to discover the magic of audio books than now. The selection in every genre is almost as good as the printed ones, and it keeps getting better and better.Come and join us!
