Dollar Daze (by Karin Gillespie) app for iPhone and iPad

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

“Each character is lovingly crafted in Gillespie’s hilarious, heartwarming, and often irreverent look at senior living in small-town America.” (Booklist)

This third installment of the popular series about the Bottom Dollar Girls from Cayboo Creek finds their love in bloom. Attalee is hot and heavy with her beau, Dooley. But Elizabeth is pining for her newlywed days, and widowed Mavis has been up nights nursing a case of loneliness.

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.

“The characters are the kind of steel magnolias who would make Scarlett O’Hara envious.” (Atlanta Journal-Constitution)
