Mailbox Monday ~ August 12th
Mailbox Monday was created by The Printed Page. It is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their home last week.
Mailbox Monday is currently on tour, hosted by a different blog each month. Today’s Linky will be hosted by Kathy @ Bermudaonion’s Weblog.
Last week I received a big box of audiobooks from Penguin Audio. Since more than half of my summertime reading is actually listening I was thrilled to receive these.
Children’s Audiobooks by Roald Dahl
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Willy Wonka’s famous chocolate factory is opening at last! But only five lucky children will be allowed inside.
Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator
Now that he’s won the chocolate factory, what’s next for Charlie?
The BFG
The BFG is no ordinary bone-crunching giant. He is far too nice and jumbly.
The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar
Seven superb stories, from the world’s no. 1 storyteller.
Matilda
Matilda is a sweet, exceptional young girl, but her parents think she’s just a nuisance.
Adult Audiobooks
The Never List by Koethi Zan
For years, best friends Sarah and Jennifer kept what they called the “Never List”: a list of actions to be avoided, for safety’s sake, at all costs. But one night, against their best instincts, they accept a cab ride with grave, everlasting consequences.
Me Before You by Jojo Moyes
They had nothing in common until love gave them everything to lose.
The Kill List by Frederick Forsyth
The Kill List: a top secret catalogue of names held at the highest level of the US government. On it, those men and women who would threaten the world’s security.
Affliction by Laurell K. Hamilton
Some zombies are raised. Others must be put down. Just ask Anita Blake.
Death Angel by Linda Fairstein
Is the body found in the Ramble the first victim of a deranged psychopath, or are other missing women in years past whose remains have never been found connected to this savage attack?
JFK’s Last Hundred Days by Thurston Clarke
A revelatory, minute-by-minute account of JFK’s last hundred days that asks what might have been.
What are you reading?

Really curious what The Never List would be like on audio – I have a sense the creepy factor will be upped at least a little bit!

So many audiobooks, so little time! Enjoy them, Leslie! I am listening to an audiobook in my car, The Prosperous Heart.

I loved reading all of those Roald Dahl books growing up. I especially remember loving The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, I think because it was less well known than the others, so it was like I was in on a secret most missed out on.

Nice mailbox. I haven’t done any audio books since I retired. I used to listen to them on my way back and forth to work. 🙂 I can’t seem to sit in one place long enough. 🙂
ENJOY your week.

I have a pack of Dahl audiobooks, but it looks like the readers are all different. I have a few with Simon Callow who I just adore, but I’d be intrigued to listen to David Walliams doing The BFG- one of my favourite Dahls.
