June was quite busy here at AudioGals as we celebrated June Is Audiobook Month. Our biggest event was Hear the Talk, a six part series of recorded chats. But there was so much else packed into those 30 days as well that we thought it best to begin July with a look back at June.
Romance at the Audies – Brenda provided us with an overview of the romance finalists for the past eight years.
