Looking Back at May 2015 – Our News, Features and Reviews

Looking back at May shows we had an exceptionally busy month here at AudioGals!  We ran no less than FOUR interviews and giveaways with narrators and authors, which you can find listed at the bottom of this post.  We spoke to Kate Reading about Loretta Chase, to Nalini Singh, Anne Stuart and the talented team of author Amy Harmon and narrator Tavia Gilbert, and each of those interviews includes exclusive audio excerpts.  The giveaways are now closed, but you can still read and listen to the interviews and extracts.

As well as all that, we ran our regular round of features – Currently Playing and Monthly Picks among them – as well as 21 new reviews of audiobooks across a wide variety of genres.

So keep watching this space – and Happy Listening!
