Another week down for #JIAM2013! Week 2 Round-Up

Another week down for #JIAM2013! Yet again, there were great posts this week.

To begin, Book Reporter posted an audiobook-themed interview with author Mary Roach.

Another author-post comes from Kevin Hearne, author of the Iron Druid Chronicles, who interviewed Luke Daniels, narrator of the Iron Druid Chronicles!

We love listening to narrator chats, like this one from AudioGals with Kaleo Griffith, Xe Sands, Karen White, and Angela Dawe!

This week, even the New York Times got in on the audiobook action with Andrew Adam Newman’s piece on expanding the audiobook market.

Don’t forget that next week is Audiobook Week, hosted by Devourer of Books.

June is Audiobook Month Week 1 Roundup

June is Audiobook Month is the title of a month-long campaign by the Audio Publishers Association to raise awareness for audiobooks. It’s a great time to discover new audiobooks, narrators, and book bloggers. You can participate by posting a review, blogging about what you like about audiobooks, or just using the hashtag #JIAM2013 on Twitter.

The first week of JIAM has included some great posts and interviews. Check out some of our favorites.

• To kick off JIAM, Jenn at Devourer of Books released her plans for audiobook week, the highlight of June is Audiobook Month.
• My Books, My Life, featured an interview with audiobook royalty, Simon Vance, and discussed the good work being done by Going Public.
• Over on Book Riot, Rachel dispelled eight myths about audiobooks.
• Audiogals kicked off JIAM with a look back at the Audie Awards for Romance.
• Miss Susie interviewed Jeff and Susan Dunman of one of our favorite sites, Audiobook Jukebox. Make sure to check out Audiobook Jukebox for links to audiobook reviews!
• As a bonus, check out this throwback post from Read Learn Write about how to get the most out of your audiobook listening.
