In the first two weeks of June, as the 2019-20 school year crawled to a close and the pandemic postponed or canceled graduations, proms, and spring sports, young readers turned to the comfort of trusted authors and old standby series.
BIPOC authors are noticeably few and far between until the audiobooks lists. The Grades 5-8 list includes Kwame Alexander, Jason Reynolds, Jewell Parker Rhodes, Pam Muoz Ryan, Linda Sue Park, and Christopher Paul Curtis. The YA audiobooks list has titles from Angie Thomas, Nic Stone, Walter Dean Myers, Bryan Stevenson, Reynolds, and Jenny Han.

Ken Follett was only twenty-seven when he wrote Eye of the Needle, the award-winning novel which became an international bestseller and a distinguished film.

This series was discontinued due to issues with the two authors as well as the publishing house. You can't buy the first 4-5 books in the series in print, ebook, or audiobook. An old print copy for one of them can go for like $200 on ebay. So to find the entire audiobook series for such an insanely good price made me take the plunge and buy. I figured even if it didn't work, it was worth the attempt. But the CD came, had everything on it, and I've since converted it to listen to the Books app on my iPhone. Soooooo worth it.
Couldn't believe the great price for this series. CD came in good time, even during the holidays. The audio is slightly lower quality than expected, but once you get into the groove of listening you stop noticing.
A rare and hard to find series of audiobooks. And a fantastic find in this case. The sound quality varies, but considering the source material, not too bad at all.
Prompt and efficient delivery (to UK).
Certainly good value for money.
This summer I am much more likely to be listening to books than turning the pages. About a year ago I discovered that audiobooks are a great antidote to the problem of never having enough time to read for pleasure , or being too tired at the end of a day spent in front of a computer, to look at even one more word. And by listening to books while I do other things, I have reclaimed time that would otherwise be lost in today's 24/7 work world.
I can read this way on my iPhone while walking to the subway; forget my discomfort standing in the rush hour crush; plug the device into the kitchen radio during the time it takes to cook and clean up; and even slip the iPhone into a pants pocket when I'm doing other chores around the house. Suddenly I am a voracious reader again. For those who say that listening to audiobooks isn't "reading," I heartily disagree. It's simply another way of consuming them. And when a wonderful narrator reads a compelling story, it's an even richer literary experience.
Appropriately enough, I began my audiobook journey at the library -- downloading digital books from the web site of The New York Public Library using the Overdrive app. But I soon discovered two major inconveniences. Since, like hard copies, these editions are available only to one borrower at a time (for copyright reasons), I sometimes had to wait my turn to get the book I wanted. Worse yet, a digital loan lasted only two weeks, and if I didn't finish a book in that time it would become inactive on my iPhone.
This year, instead of getting summer reading recs from the local librarian, as I did when I was a kid, I decided to crowdsource my summer list. By email I reached out to Forbes colleagues; their friends and relations; representatives from the audiobook divisions of Hachette, Macmillan, Random House and Simon & Schuster; and in some cases their customers.
