After a July full of events and special features, normal service resumed at AudioGals in August, with 28 reviews, including the eagerly awaited new book from Susan Elizabeth Phillips, Heroes Are My Weakness. Our monthly Audio Picks received even more attention than usual since we looked at both August and September titles (and there was a lot for us to choose from!), as well as the monthly round-up of reviews and features for July – a new overview you’ll see around the beginning of each month that will provide you with a quick look at the previous month. Early on, we interviewed Sherry Thomas complete with a My Beautiful Enemy giveaway, Melinda launched a Countdown to Outlander, and BJ and Brenda discussed Amazon’s new Kindle Unlimited program. In a recorded interview, we were honored to talk with Jeaniene Frost and Tavia Gilbert and we welcomed a new Narrator Friend, Erin Bennett. In conjunction with those two events, we ran two big giveaways of Jeaniene Frost’s The Beautiful Ashes and Susan Elizabeth Phillips’ Heroes Are My Weakness.
