Welcome to another installment of the Twitterview. You read my review of Not That Kind of Girl earlier this fall and today, Siobhan Vivian is sharing with us her thoughts about “Jersey Shore,” ice cream, and, of course, writing.
What inspires your writing?

AudioSynced, October Edition
Welcome to another month of AudioSynced, your roundup of reviews, news, and other audiobook related stories from October 1 until now. If you’ve got something audiobook related on your blog, share it in the comments and I’ll add it! Next month, make sure you head over to Abby (the) Librarian‘s blog where she’ll be hosting.
News:

Have you checked out Audible yet? If you haven’t perhaps the idea of two free audiobook downloads will convince you. Just head to this site and sign up. It’s easy to use and the amount of titles they have available is incredible.
