Free Audiobooks: Carter Finally Gets It and She Stoops to Conquer

Two audiobooks are available for free from SYNC this week (through July 10rd).

Carter Finally Gets It
by Brent Crawford

Meet Will Carter, but feel free to call him Carter. (Yes, he knows it’s a lazy nickname, but he didn’t have much say in the matter.) Here are five things you should know about him:


  1. He has a stuttering problem, particularly around boobs and belly buttons.

  2. He battles Attention Deficit Disorder every minute of every day…unless he gets distracted.

  3. He’s a virgin, mostly because he’s no good at talking to girls (see number 1).

  4. He’s about to start high school.

  5. He’s totally not ready.


Join Carter for his freshman year, where he’ll search for sex, love, and acceptance anywhere he can find it. In the process, he’ll almost kill a trombone player, face off with his greatest nemesis, suffer a lot of blood loss, narrowly escape death, run from the cops (not once, but twice), get caught up in a messy love triangle, meet his match in the form of a curvy drill teamer, and surprise the hell out of everyone, including himself.

She Stoops to Conquer
by Oliver Goldsmith

Love, lies, and dysfunctional families. Sound like your last family gathering? Try this one on for laughs. Two randy young gents, Charles and George, set out to woo the alluring and upper-crust Kate and Constance. But inexperienced Charles is shy and clumsy around upper-class ladies, so it s the barmaid who catches his eye. But is she really who she seems? Bawdy high-jinx, popped pretensions, and good dirty fun are the hallmarks of this romping frolic that s kept audiences laughing for over two centuries.

She Stoops to Conquer is actually a play (don't freak out). Read along as you listen with a copy of the text from Gutenberg.com.

To get either audiobook (or both!) start at the download page.

You'll need to install the OverDrive® Media Console™ first, but the page walks you through that. The audiobooks have download buttons below the green sync-head thing in the third column of the page.

Enjoy!
