Free Listens for June 2014

It's that time for the freebies!

After noticing most bloggers post a list of free or really close to free e-books, every week, month or just once in awhile I decided to post a few free audiobooks.  I love free books. I mean who doesn't.

Yes, there is a such thing as a free audiobooks, and they are not just boring old classics either.  I seem to run across a few new ones here and there.  Some of them are short and sweet while others are prequels to popular series. 

When I run across a couple of free audiobooks, I will post them for you to check out as well.

If you are new to audiobooks this is a great way to try one or two without spending any money.  All of these title are FREE at the time of posting.  Things could have changed but all you have to do is click the cover to go to the Amazon page.

Thoughtful Thursday: Series Type

Hosted by Reading Is Fun Again

Pam over at Reading Is Fun Again started this meme to get a book blogger thoughts on a few bookish things. You know how much I love sharing my thoughts/opinions on stuff, so I thought it would be perfect to add my two cents in too! Stop by her blog and join in on the Thoughtful meme.

I created Thoughtful Thursday, because bookish thoughts kept popping up in my mind while reading, and I wanted to explore these questions and get your opinions too! -From Reading Is Fun Again

Thoughtful Thursday Question

There are lots of different types of series. For example, there are series that are just one long story (e.g., The Lord of the Rings), there are series that follow a character on a set of different adventures (e.g., The Dresden Files and The Sookie Stackhouse novels), and there are series that are a collection of stand alone novels all within the same universe (e.g., Star Wars Universe). What is your favorite type of series?

Waiting on Wednesday: Blue Lily, Lily Blue

"Waiting on Wednesday" is a weekly meme, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that I am eagerly anticipating.

I'm back again with another WoW post. I am such a pack follower. LOL! 

Anyways, it's only because I found yet another book I am looking forward to reading. Since I started the Spring Sequel reading challenge I have been plowing through a few series. I am completely a series right now so I thought I would mention a new book in that series. Perfect timing!  I know everyone has done this one but I just have to jump on the band wagon too.

This week's "can't wait to read" selection is...

Quicky Review #17: Miss Moppet, Sleep Donation and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

Welcome back to another Quicky Review.  

A lot of the time I like to read short stories, prequels and free audiobooks that are short and sweet.  But why do a full review on a story that is say...80 pages long.  So I do Quicky Reviews for the shorties and children books as well.  Basically, the short stories get short reviews.

Here are just a few sentences on an audiobook (about 2 hours or less) I got free from Audible.com.

There are other Quicky Reviews for you to check out too and don't worry there will be more to come. I like short stories because most of them are FREE and I can get in and out of one in no time.

A Small Break

Hi all!

If you have stopped by here and noticed a few things are not happening... it's because I am taking a small break from blogging.  I wasn't planning on it and just realized it was happening.   Lately, I have been crazy busy with a few small things.  I am a scheduler and when things get off my regular schedule then the whole world seems to fall apart.  That is why I am taking this week and maybe next week to get things back on track. 

I know you are dying to know what has thrown a wrench into my perfectly planned life (LOL!)
