2015 Audiobook Challenge 2nd Quarter Update

 

Welcome to the second Quarter Update for the 2015 Audiobook Challenge. This challenge is hosted by The Book Nympho & Hot Listens.


Okay, this time I did better. I listened to more audios for the second quarter. It's not the number I was aiming for, but I got to "reading" again. :)

 I've experienced a lot the last few years and I have a lot to share. So I hope that you'll take a moment to sit back, relax and enjoy the words I've put together for you in this book. I think you'll find I've left no stone unturned, no door unopened, no window unbroken, no rug unvacuumed, no ivories untickled. What I'm saying is, let us begin, shall we?

Debut Book: Roses Are Red by J.B. Kantt


Hello readers!

I've been introduced to a new debut novel by J.B. Kantt. I know I've mentioned that I will not be accepting as many books for review this year, but this one caught my attention.

What also makes this exciting is that I've been following this person's blog before she published this book. I am highly looking forward to it!

Here's what it's about:

With the help of his new friend, Sistine Bailey, Rob must decide what to do with his discovery and at the same time come to terms with his past.


Rob, who passes the time in his rural Florida community by wood carving, is drawn by his spunky but angry friend Sistine into a plan to free a caged tiger.

Inside Hana's Suitcase- Documentary & Interactive Website

I first encountered Hana's story by reading the book, Hana's Suitcase by Karen Levine (check out my review here). I was completely captivated by her story that I began to search for more information about her. I soon came to learn about the documentary and the online experience of the book.

Here are my thoughts on both the film and the online interactive website:
