TTT: Dec. 22nd. My Favorite YA Audio books of 2015

Top Ten Tuesday: The actual topic for the day is what books would I like Santa to bring me. Since I prefer to get my books from libraries and I typically don't ask for books for Christmas, I decided instead to list my favorite YA audio books of the year. Thanks for indulging me.

Top Ten YA Audiobooks I listened to in 2015
I really like to listen to audiobooks if they are narrated well and if the pacing isn't too slow. These ten audiobooks were my favorites of the year. I've listed them in alphabetical order because I love them all and can't choose a favorite. Please open the hyperlinks in a new tab and experience a short sample of each audiobook.
