Volume 30: Asian Heritage Month 2019

Volume 30: Asian Heritage Month - Cinco de Mayo, 2019

Hello fellow Accomplice!

Welcome to our Special Edition Newsletter that inaugurates Asian Pacific American Heritage Month this May! Plus, May is National Pet Month! Plus, today is Cinco de Mayo!

Puff, puff, puff. Enough exclamation points there to suit you?

Please visit our webpages for APAHM and NPM updates throughout the month and year. And please note our Oldie but Goody Cinco de Mayo choice for the day.

May you find something to enjoy this week!

As always, feel free to share your favorites with me! Just comment below on this week’s reviews or email me at Gillian@AudiobookAccomplice.com!

Turns out “An Empty Cup” was the hands down choice for My Next Listen, with Restaurant Man coming up on second place (Who knows? Maybe I’ll listen to it soon too!).
And of COURSE I’ll continue the audiobooks celebrating All Things Asian. And of COURSE I’ll continue the audiobooks celebrating National Pet Month.
Heck, I’ll just spend AAAAALL of May celebrating, shall I?
Go to **Listening To Now** for more details on this week’s audiobooks.

This go-round, I decided I’d like y’all to have a variety of schtuff to choose from. Will you choose for me some cool Biology, or a nice little Anthology? Or a Novel? Or a Bio? What?
Tell me what my Next Listen will be by taking a bit of time to **vote** on whatever you might be interested in. **Vote** as much as you like if you feel strongly one way or the other.
I do indeed appreciate your input!
The details for the books are at **Tell Me What’s Next**. Feel free to also **suggest another audiobook** for review.
