Bet Your Bottom Dollar (by Karin Gillespie)

BET YOUR BOTTOM DOLLAR by Karin Gillespie (unabridged) is presented by Blackstone Audio and comes with what is perhaps the best audiobook app available (see FEATURES, below).

For Elizabeth, Mavis, and Attalee, logging nine to five at the Bottom Dollar Emporium of Cayboo Creek, South Carolina, is not just work time, it’s family time. So when news gets out that the Super Saver Dollar Store chain plans to set up shop and run the Bottom Dollar out of town, things go cattywampus.

“Brace for a wild ride chock-full of southern wit and down-home advice from a clutch of quirky characters you will hope to see again soon.” (Booklist)

Self-contained, this audiobook app is perfect for your commute, on a trip, or while relaxing. Based on a library-quality recording, this app was built especially for your iPhone and iPod Touch. No unreadable text, no endless scrolling on a tiny screen. The audio is of higher-than-normal quality, making for a great listening experience that will not tire your ears or grate on your nerves.

NOTICE: This app includes the exact same 5-star recording offered elsewhere at much higher prices. It was professionally recorded by Blackstone Audio’s narrator, Carrington MacDuffie. You are not buying yet another amateur or volunteer narration. No clicks, background noises, throat clearing, mispronunciations, tinny voices or monotones will be found here.

“Carrington MacDuffies charming and sweet Southern drawl adds to the hominess and appeal of each character…” (AudioFile)
