Winning Wednesday Audio Book Giveaway Results
By MudslideMama | February 27, 2008
Welcome to Winning Wednesday! This week, we’re excited to give away a complete audiobook of The Kite Runner, read by author Khaled Hosseini.
The Kite Runner didn’t win any awards at last Sunday’s Oscars, but we do have a Kite Runner winner
here at TravelingMamas. Let’s all extend our congratulations to Mama Zen. Yay, Mama Zen! She wrote, “My husband makes me listen to geeky podcasts. Help!” Well, hopefully, this audiobook - with a hefty 12 hours running time - will give you a nice break from all that Star Wars fan fiction (or whatever the “geeky podcasts” are).
We’re not 100% positive, but it looks like this was the only response out of many to mention podcasts. Popular responses regarding audiobooks were clearly in the Stephen King and Harry Potter categories. For example, Sarah wrote “I listen to Stephen King in the car. Nothing like a little terror to keep you alert!” Indeed. And Susan wrote, “I’ve listened to the whole Harry Potter series during my driving trips.” Wow! Those must have been some serious road trips. I stubbed my toe on the fifth Harry Potter book the other day, and I thought I’d broken a bone. The audiobook series must last a week.
Other common answers to the contest question were like Jim Cincinello’s: He wrote “I have never listened to an audio book before but would like to.” Please don’t let them pass you by. Books on tape are a great way for busy people to “read.” Time on the road is time well spent when we can soak up that classic or new best seller. What can I say? It beats road rage.
Mama Zen, email me at MudslideMama at Travelingmamas dot com, and you’ll be listening to The Kite Runner before Spring Break. Congratulations!
