How Many Have You Read/Heard Contest (July Reads)

Cannot believe it's August already!!! Not sure where the month went, but I do have a list of listened to audiobooks to show for it.

I have these September pub date ARCs to give away to those who've read some of the books I listened to this month.

The ARCs:

    Fateful The Eleventh Plague   


Now, for the YA Audiobooks I read this month:

Lock and Key More of what Sarah Dessen does best. Some cute side characters in this one.

The Kind of Friends We Used To Be A nice tween book about friendship growing pains.

Delirium (Delirium, #1) A less hopeful version of MATCHED, but well worth reading. Lauren Oliver's writing is amazing.

Zazoo My surprise favorite book of July (see last week's Road Trip)

Finnikin of the Rock (Lumatere Chronicles, #1) Very different than Jellicoe Road, but just as good, esp. if you like High Fantasy.

Boys, Bears, and a Serious Pair of Hiking Boots A nice YA book about friendship growing pains.

The Throne of Fire (Kane Chronicles, #2) The Egyptian myths come to life continues...I'm finding that this series is growing on me. I especially like sister Sadie's voice.

Kissing the Bee A nice upper YA book about friendship growing pains...that seemed to be a theme for me this month.

 Let me know which ones you've read. One entry per book. (International entries welcome. Will draw names Friday morning.)

    Abby McDonald's cover art looks so intriguing! I like it!! And of course I have big love for Sarah Dessen. Having met her she's even more fabulous in person.

    For some reason I can't see the first two, but I have read Delirium. That's the only one. My daughter's read the Throne of Fire. Does that count? :)

    I REALLY want to read The Eleventh Plague! Thanks for the giveaway!

    Alison- Sure, you being a loyal follower, I'll count your daughter's Throne of Fire. Strange about the first two...They're Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen and The Kind of Friends We Used To Be by Frances O'Roark Dowell

    Wow! You've listened to a LOT of audiobooks! I need to get back into listening now that school is going to start back up and I'll be driving more.

    Delirium by Lauren Oliver!
    It was so sad in the end.
