Happy May, happy AudioSYNC summertime!
Whatever your weather, it is now officially summer reading season because our free weekly audiobooks are here!
This year, the AudiobookSYNC program uses the Sora app for listening through a dedicated ‘public library’ that hosts one pair of free audiobooks weekly. Read more about the 13 week program here.
For every pair of audiobooks, your time to download either or both titles begins at 12 midnight (EDT) Thursday, running through late night Wednesday. For 2020, listeners worldwide can download all books! All you need to register is an email address.
Monday’s Not Coming (download)
by Tiffany D. Jackson | Read by Imani Parks Published by HarperAudio
How can learning-challenged Claudia start the school year without BFF Monday? Why can’t anyone remember the last time they saw the African American teen? How can a girl just disappear? Claudia wants answers, wants Monday back!
The 57 Bus (download)
by Dashka Slater | Read by Robin Miles Published by Recorded Books
Just 8 minutes in the same bus, day after day – but enough for differences in class, race, and gender perceptions to lead one teen to set another on fire, literally.
A true account of the horrific action that made international news – what punishment could fit this dreadful crime? How did the race of each person affect the daily bus ride, the attack, the trial?
Remember to download either or both mysterious titles before Wednesday night, May 6th. As long as they’re on your Sora app shelf, they’re yours to enjoy!
What mysteries – fictional or factual – do you recommend?
