Stacking the Shelves (39)

Happy Independence Day!

I've just gotten back home from a week-long road trip. While I'm tired of sitting in the car for long hours at a time, I'm all refreshed and ready to return to work on Monday. A couple of good things about road trips:
(1) I have lots of uninterrupted time to read
(2) I don't have to go to work
(3) I'm offline most of the time

The important part of #3 is that if I'm offline, I'm not shopping for books and I'm not borrowing any from the library and I'm not requesting review books. This means that my TBR stack isn't growing. So this week, the only new books are from the weekly give-away at SYNC Audiobooks.

Freebies:

At 2 years old, Ben Underwood lost his sight. Shortly afterward, his mother noticed that Ben was clicking his tongue and listening to the sounds of the clicks bouncing back to him. He had developed the rare skill of echolocation, similar to the way bats navigate in the dark. In Echoes of an Angel Ben's mother Aquanetta tells the story of how Ben learned to interact with his world—riding a bike, shooting baskets, and even playing video games.

Jinsen is the new kid in school. A Buddhist, he wears oversize tie-dyed T- shirts, shaves his head, and always seems to be smiling. He's so different that he quickly becomes the target of bullying. Justin knows how brutal the popular bullies can be and wants to stay far away from Jinsen. But then he's paired with Jinsen for a project in their economics class. The audiobook of Buddha Boy has been created as a full-cast recording.
