Audies 2015

Are you familiar with the Audies? The Audies are awards given by the Audio Publishers Association, or the APA. Audiobooks from nearly 30 different categories are narrowed down to a short list of finalists. The finalists are announced in February and the winners are announced at the Gala on May 28, 2015. The Armchair Audies are audiobook enthusiasts who listen to the finalists in each category and cast a vote for the winner.

 

I listened to one of the youth categories - Children's for Ages Up to 8. I listened to five out of the six titles before the Gala. My top picks that I thought would win were H.O.R.S.E. and Deep in the Swamp. This year's winning title for Children's for Ages Up to 8 is ... H.O.R.S.E.!
