Download Free Audiobooks from JV Brown

This morning at 5:00 am I borrowed a book from JV Brown while drinking coffee and wearing my pajamas.  By 6:00 am I was listening to it on my mp3 player while doing my laundry and cleaning the house.  How convenient.

Here's a blurb from the JV Brown website on this service:
