FREE Audiobooks for Summer 2015

SYNC

SYNC is a program that gives away TWO complete audiobook downloads each week throughout the summer program — a current Young Adult title paired thematically with a Classic or Required Summer Reading title.

This is an outreach from the Audio Publishers Association. It’s entirely free – all you have to do is enter your name and email address in order to download the two titles each week.

I took advantage of this opportunity last year, and I can vouch that they do not use your email address for anything other than an authentication. You do not receive a confirmation email, or any promotional emails either.

You can also get a text notification when the new week’s books are available to download. Text syncYA to 25827 for title updates and alerts when the new books are out.
