In January, I reviewed The Leftovers Tom Perrotta. The lovely folks at McMillan Audiobooks saw it and has offered our readers a chance to win an audiobook of The Leftovers. Here’s a quick description of the novel, excerpted from my review:
In a Rapture-like event, people around the world just vanished into thin air. No one knows where they went or how they disappeared. Instead of dwelling on the disappearance, Perrotta focuses on the people who were left behind. The people who are left after the Sudden Departure try to cope with the disappearance of their friends, family, and neighbors. Laurie cannot deal with her normal life, so joins a cult-like organization. Her husband, who wants to help everyone move on, becomes mayor in hopes of helping the town recover. Their son quits college to follow a prophet while their once straight A-student teenage daughter struggles in school.

What a fun giveaway! I loved this book, and would definitely re-read it. I actually only own one audiobook, and always listen to it in the car on trips. It is a twelve disc set of The Lord of the Rings, so it gets us pretty far
i feel a lot better about doing my “chores” if i can listen to an audiobook while i do them. i’m listening to the help right now, even though i already read it. it is great to hear their accents out loud! and i’m getting a lot more housework done than usual!
