I'm nearly half way through, and as much as I like it, I don't like it as much as Hunger Games...but maybe it's just because I haven't been reading straight out, but rather just picking it up and putting it down whenever..
I've actually never listened to an audiobook. I think im scared that the voice will ruin it for me...are they worth listening to do you think??

Zainab, you should try ausio books, I love having them read to me, most stories are read by good actors and actresses and some are excellent at different voices etc. I love Stephen Fry, Martin Shaw, Alan Titchmarsh, Richard E Grant and Andrew Sacs reading to me but there are many others too. Stephen King is a wxcellent reader and Frank Muller who reads S K's books too.
Just finished the marvellous Keeping the Dead - Tess Gerritsen. Will now read Genesis - Karin Slaughter.
I'm loving this book. I think its better than N&NIP...You'll totally enjoy this Jo!!!
I am reading A Dirty Job and The Gargoyle and enjoying both....They are very different....
I just started Dead to the World. It is my first Sookie Stackhouse book. I've heard so much about them that I had to check it out.

I finished Bridget Jones's Diary and Drawn in Blood this weekend and am now reading The Hunger Games (finally) and listening to The Monster of Florence!
I just finished Rebel Angels and am now listening to The Lord God Made Them All by James Herriot
Sadie wrote: "I just finished Rebel Angels and am now listening to The Lord God Made Them All by James Herriot"Have you read Herriot's other books? I loved those.
I've read the other three books that came before this one and have loved all of them. I've been listening to them on audiobook and Christopher Timothy is the reader...he's so good. I plan on buying this book series.

I read them over 20 years ago and loved them!
Jennifer, I liked Rebel Angels there were quite a few twists just like the last one.
I am listening to The Sweet Far Thing audiobook right now. I liked Rebel Angels better than A Great and Terrible Beauty. I'm hoping this last book will answer all my questions with the series and so far I haven't been disappointed.
Linda Grace...it's good to know that you liked RA better than AG&TB. Hopefully I'll enjoy it too.
Jennifer - I found that the characters weren't AS annoying. :) I like learning more about the Order and the Realms also.
Decided to get Karin Slaughter's Genesis on audio in the nxt week or so. I am now gonna read Gravity - Tess Gerritsen

I am reading the Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde, its great!
I'm listening to "Garden Spells" so far so good.
Gave up on Gravity - Tess Gerritsen cos it wasn't my cup of tea. Now I am listening to White Teeth - Zadie Smith.

Think I will now read Case Histories - Kate Atkinson for my next book as I have wanted to know what her books are like.
I'm going to start Stray by Rachel Vincent today for lunch. Still working on To Ride Hell's Chasm & wishing I could get more time in the evenings to read it. Really exciting & good.
I just bought "The Bell Jar" and "A tree grows in Brooklyn" last night!!! That's so funny you guys brought that book up today!! I haven't started eaither one but had to throw that out there. (giggle-giggle)
LMAO I know you have read a ton of books I want to read chica! I'm just going one at a time. You should read your City of Bones its really witty and charming :) have you started Catching Fire yet?
I'm pretty far into it probly in a couple days I'll have it done have to go kick some ass, playing Volleyball tonight!! Whooo Whooo! Actually it could be the other way around there but I'm gonna have a good attitude. I want to read Dracula really bad after Twilight mentioned it over and over and HON series. I think those would be good books to read in October to get cha in the mood for the holiday!
Oh no! Katie Is the style it's written in too poetic or something? Jo Halloween is really for the kids here but some adults get into it and have parties and dress up. I was (OLD) little red riding hood last year..lol

Lily has what looks like the perfect life: a fabulous day job at a fashion magazine; a killer figure she can literally never lose; and a great group of girlfriends who are always there for her. Oh, and she also just-so-happens to be a succubus: an immortal demon who draws her power from other men's pleasure. Although working for the Devil does have it's perks, Lily's realising that serving up bad boys to the fiery pits of Hell is just getting ...well, lonely. Just once, Lily would like to wake up in the morning to something more than a pile of ashes but, contractually bound to Satan, she will only be released if someone truly loves her. Then the devilishly handsome PI Nathan Coleman enters her life and Lily begins to wonder if he might be the man she's been waiting for. He wants to ask Lily a few questions about a missing man, but suddenly someone - or something - wants Lily and her demon friends dead, and Nathan seems to know more than he'll admit to. Can a sweet-talking mortal and a girl from Hell ever really find true love?
