Grand Prize
We welcome you to the second Best Audiobook Blog Hop hosted by Hot Listens, The Book Nympho, and The Geeky Blogger’s Book Blog.
It’s time to share your favorites for 2014.
I hope you can join us once again.
The Grand prize is 3 audiobook downloads (winner’s choice). We also encourage you to run your own giveaways concurrent to the grand Blog Hop prize. This is open for all audiobook genres.
Do you want to play along?
Here are the rules:
1. Have fun! It isn’t worth doing if you can’t have a blast while doing it!
2. Invite all of your friends and spread the word! The more the merrier and the more chance at prizes.
3. This hop starts: Jan 25 2015, at 1:00 AM (Eastern Time) and ends Feb 1st 2015 at midnight (Eastern Time). We will be verifying that the posts in the linky are live on Jan 25 2015 around noon (Eastern Time) so please have your posts live by then. Winners from individual giveaways should be drawn and posted by Feb o3 2015. If your winner has not responded please feel free to pick another winner.
4. Create a post that promotes your 5 favorite audiobooks from 2014. These do not have to be books published in 2014 but listened to in 2014. With all the independent and backlist books coming to audio there are so many books and narrators that aren’t getting their due. This is your chance to spotlight your favorites!
5. (If you have a Giveaway) Be very clear on whether your giveaway is US or International. Please only have up to 7 ways to enter (too many entries makes it too time consuming to the participants). If you are a US based blog please keep in mind that because of the FTC/FCC rules the only “required” entry you can have is either free or leave a comment (here is a link to a great blog post on Blog Giveaways.) Your giveaway is not required to be audiobook related but it is encouraged.
**Authors/Narrators if you aren’t participating but are willing to sponsor a giveaway contact any of the 3 of us (The Geeky Blogger, Hot Listens, or The Book Nympho) and we will pair you with a participating blog**
6. Take time to visit all the blogs participating. You don’t have to do them all in one day but you don’t want to skip the chance to meet new bloggers and win prizes. Every blog visit may equal a chance to WIN!
7. Visiting all blogs is recommended, but not required. Really that is up to you but the more blogs you hop to, the better your chances of winning prizes.
8. Finally do not hesitate to contact us with concerns and questions. We want this to be fun and of value to everyone participating.
9. Last but not least refer back to Rule #1 and HAVE FUN!
The images, giveaway and linky code will be sent to you a week before the hop.

I’m still trying to budget for Xmas presents, nevermind blog giveaways, so I won’t sign-up just yet. Maybe in early January once the madness is over. We’ll see. Still working on my 2014 Audiobook Challenge though. 🙂
Come on Carmel! Share your fav. with us 🙂
Question oh wise one. If you use an audible book as prize can international peeps claim it?
Unfortunately no 🙁 Only US and Canada. But to be honest, how would they know? But I’ve never tried just in case. There’re other stores like Ambling books that sale internationally.
Audible must check IP addresses, I think. I received an audiobook as a gift once, and I still couldn’t download it 🙁
Thank you Lexxie! I always wonder about that. Bummer!
Oooo can’t wait to follow along on this hop! I very much would like to give an audiobook a try this coming year, so I’ll be stopping by for all sorts of recommendations:)
Awesome Jenny! I’m looking forward to checking out everyone’s choices too 🙂
I’m glad you’re doing this again! I had so much fun participating last year. Yay for 5 favorites this year instead of 3 🙂 (Still will be hard to choose though!)
Thank you for join us again Lucy 🙂 Yeah 5 should be a little better. I can’t wait to see if we have any the same 🙂
I’ll participate if I can squeeze in a few listens this month! I’ve been slacking with my audios, I usually listen at work but it’s been so hectic lately that I haven’t listened or read anything in a while. Hopefully things will calm down after the holidays 🙂
Hahaha Lori, just pick the best 5 out of six!
It’s Ok maybe they just not your thing, nothing wrong with that 🙂 I live in the country, and believe me, if I lived in NY I wouldn’t have time to listen to all these books…Nothing to do here!!!
I actually have enjoyed almost all of the one’s I’ve listened to, it’s just a time thing right now…or lack of! I need to get back into reading/listening mode, it’s a great stress reliever 🙂
I’ll be checking out the participating blogs, for sure, but I haven’t listened to five audiobooks in 2014, and I really doubt I’ll be able to listen to any more before the end of the year 🙁
It’s a great idea, though, and hopefully, I’ll be able to participate next year 😀
I hope so to Lexxie! We’ll be happy to have you joining us next year 🙂
All signed up. I listned to more audiobooks than ever this past year. Hoping to do the same in 2015.
Yay! We’re happy you’re joining us 🙂
Yay, I signed up! It will be HARD to pick 5…
Cool!! So glad you’re going to be doing this with us, I can’t wait to see your choices…You will probably cost me credits..lol 😉
I am so in! This sounds like a blast and I’ve been listening to so many more audio this year then I normally do!!
Yay! Welcome to the hop! I had a great time last year checking everyone’s choices, and sure added a ton to my TBL.
I’m glad you’re joining 🙂 I can’t wait to see your choices.
Gonna talk to Drea about this, but I think we’ll be joining 🙂
Oh yes LilY!! Join us!! It doesn’t matter how many you have listened to, just share your fav. with us 🙂
Oh that’ll be fun to see. Shared it for ya 😀
Thank you Anna 🙂
My audio team of sexy Kai Kennicott and Wen the smolder Ross are muy caliente. I retweeted, but would be glad to offer up any of their work for the contest even those that are not my own. They rock!
Cool!! I’ll pass it around. I’ll contact you via-email later this week. Thank you!
So looking forward to this again! I just have to pick 5, which will be hard!
I know! I’m glad you’re joining us! I can’t wait to see your picks 🙂
I’m going to be watching your posts – I have 3 audible credits and I just can’t decide what to use them on!! I’m looking forward to seeing everyone’s favorite listens.
I got more than few last year that way, and I tried other genres that I normally wouldn’t have.
I hope you have fun! I’d love to see your fav. If you’d like to do a guest post I’ll be thrilled! ( but I understand if your busy…I know how RL gets..lol) But I’m throwing the suggestion just in case 🙂 I’m just dying to know myself..LOL 😉
Just signed up. I listened to 6 last year, so this will be easy for me. I’m excited to see everyone’s recs!
I’m glad you’re joining us Grace 🙂
