June is Audiobook Month 2017

Welcome to Day 12 of June is Audiobook Month Blog Tour! Thanks for visiting Adolescent Audio Adventures. As a children's librarian, I love to share stories as well as listen to stories. Audiobooks help feed my reading appetite because I can always have a book with me! Audiobooks are also great for trips. It doesn't matter if it's a quick commute or a long family road trip. They can be shared to an audience of one or more. I love it! And we have a whole month to celebrate!



Planning a family road trip this summer? Here are a couple suggestions for your travels this summer:

The Hero's Guide Series by Christopher Healy, read by Bronson Pinchot
Quick review: Funny, fairytale remix with a fantastic reader!

    I just picked up the last of the 3 "Skullduggery Pleasant" series available in the US by Derek Landy. Looking forward to reading it, maybe when I finish "The Hound of the Baskervilles."

    The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman are fantastic and what a way to get the whole family involved by listening to audiobook on a road trip! I have introduced my grandbabies to them, and I myself am a slight addict. I am currently listening to a cozy mystery. My favorite of the year thus far is The Garden of Small Beginnings.

      You're welcome! Enjoy listening to Harry Potter this summer. Will you be listening to Jim Dale or Stephen Fry or BOTH? Both narrators are very good. Happy listening!

    The Graveyard Book is awesome. I've read it 3 times (once in audio) and loved it a little more each time. I recently listened to the full cast 10th anniversary edition of American Gods, which was great. Looking forward to whatever Gaiman comes up with next!
