A book I liked that wasn't long was . It is a juvenile books but heart warming. The narration was excellent.

I know that book. My boys loved it! They watched the movie, too.

Would Daughter of Smoke and Bones be a good one to try?

Excellent book to try. I love the narrator. She does an excellent job with the many voices. It made the book come to life for me.

Thanks, Leigh, I'm going to look for Smoke and Bones:) I started Patricia Briggs' [bookcover:Shifting Shadows: Stories from the World of Mercy Thompson|20821263. The first story breaks the "show, don't tell" rules, but I love it anyway.

You can also change the length of time it takes to listen to a book from audible by changing the reading speed. I find that the regular speed is a bit too slow for me to stand, maybe because I talk so fast myself, so I bump it up to 1.5 to 2, which I'm not exactly sure how they differentiate from one speed to another, but I just go with what sounds right to me.

Thanks, Angie!

Just dawned on me how fast this year is passing me by! Then I looked at my Kelley Armstrong Challenge-o-Meter and realized that I've only completed one out of five.

What the Harry is up with that?! I says to myself

So, I decided to hit a double Whammy with this one. Actually, I think it's a Trifecta. I'm about to start Omens by our talented Kelley Armstrong. In doing so I will have completed 2/5 Armstrong Challenge, completed YASO of the September Hello/Goodbye Challenge and I should, hopefully, be able to call this book 94/100 for my Reading Challenge!

Yay!!! Always excellent when that happens LastBreath!

All I can say is "Wow!" Happy reading.

So I have caught up on some reading over the past few days



Listening to on audio

Right now I am sick of PNR so I am going to start either or or

I can say I am not a fan of YA at all but I really enjoyed

Lol. I get sick of a genre when I read too many, back to back, too. Happy reading with your next book:)

Thanks!! I honestly have no idea why I read PNR back to back like that but I do!

Just finished that is a really intense book, though i did highly enjoy it.

I've never read it. Too long:) But all my friends loved it. Are you watching the TV series?

It's like me and peanut butter cookies. They're all great until you indulge in that one too many:)

I've tried to read it twice, but couldn't get into it. I did watch the first show and liked it, but not enough to give the book another shot. Will probably check out the rest of the show when it comes out on DVD.

That's the route I'm probably going to take, too. The series has had great reviews.

The hubby was just telling me about the wedding scene in the TV show. He still hasn't twigged that its a romance. LOL

I've heard people who couldnt get into it tried the audio book version and loved it.
apparently there's some fantastic narrator who is a genius with all accents.

i thought the first part of the book was a bit bleh, but once she pops through the stones i really got into it.

but its not a book for everyone. if you dont like it, you dont like it.
same as i dont like that angel book, Daughter of Smoke & Bone and EVERYONE loves that book. lol

picked up so far pretty good

I did listen to it on audio and the narrator is awesome. I tried to read the book and couldn't do it. After listening to the first one I tried to read the second one, couldn't do it. I may listen to it though.

The first time I tried the book, didn't make it far. The second time I went the audio route as sometimes I can listen to books that I can't read, but it still didn't work for me.

Ashleigh, is the Annabelle Lee in Dead on the Delta from Edgar Allen Poe's poem? Can't hear the name without thinking about Poe.

Judith, have you tried the audio book yet?

No, my plans got scrambled. My mom died on Saturday--a wonderful release from 10 years of Alzheimer's. We're all happy for her, but my routine's going to be bumpy for a little bit. But it's still on my list.

I'm so sorry for your loss. It is hard to see ones we love suffer. My thoughts and prayers will be with your family.

Thanks, Leigh, you're so nice. But it almost feels like a release now, we're so happy for Mom.

Sad for your loss Judith, and I totally understand your happiness for her. Best wishes to you and your family.

Thank you, Sandra.

I'm halfway through , and boy, never expected Russian myths. Guess I should have since Ilona was born in Russia, but Baba Yaga? Cool! The plot's getting pretty complicated, trying to keep everything straight. My biggest complaint: I bought the paperback, and the print's so small and not very dark, my eyes get tired.

I love that series!

So do I. One of my top three, along with Patricia Briggs and Faith Hunter.

Finished and loved it! Now listening to

I really need to try Faith Hunter.

Yep, you really do!

I have the first three in the Jane Yellowrock series. I need to move them up on my TBR list.

I love Jane Yellowrock. Just bought It's next on my list.

Vlad is yummy! I liked Cat and Bones but this spin-off is even better. Vlad is such a tortured soul.

Eagerly hanging out for #3 Vlad

Sandra wrote: "Eagerly hanging out for #3 Vlad "

I am so ready for that too!

Just started by SM Reine. I don't usually enjoy series with a male lead that much but this one is great.

Squeeee!!!! Love me some Vlad!!!! I'm really looking forward to the final book .... even if I don't want it to end lol....

I'm trying my damndest to work through but for some reason I'm struggling with it ... Usually I just breeze through them... I'm thinking I may be in a paranormal funk....

I've struggled through the last two books for some reason... probably because they incorporate lycans into them but the rest of them I absolutely love...

Are there only going to be three books in the Vlad series? There's hope for me then. I might catch up with everyone.

Yea... Unfortunately we're only getting 3 books for him and Layla
