R.A. Desilets | 375 comments Finished number 3 today, I'm counting it as goodreads TBR (been on shelf since January). Ruins (Partials Sequence, #3) by Dan Wells

Regarding newer releases - I realized two of my books were published in 2014 (prior to april), so I have 2 new releases, and can only use one more for the challenge.

... I seriously need to pick up the pace. I'm even behind on my yearly reading challenge (sadface)

message 317: by Diane (new)

Diane | 1234 comments I did it! I am GOLD! This is such a great thing for me because I was in such a reading slump and this challenge got me kick started. I Am Back Baby!

I finished #12 with Cinder (The Lunar Chronicles, #1) by Marissa Meyer which I have had on my kindle for over 2 years. I just got the other two Scarlet (The Lunar Chronicles, #2) by Marissa Meyer and Cress (The Lunar Chronicles, #3) by Marissa Meyer to keep me company over Christmas break. Thanks for this challenge - it is just what I needed :)


message 318: by R.A. (last edited Dec 22, 2014 12:09PM) (new)

R.A. Desilets | 375 comments Finished The Hunt (The Hunt, #1) by Andrew Fukuda today. Two more books left! I have to say, I really enjoyed the content of the book, but listening to it on audiobook was hard... the narrator was not that great.

Updated #15


message 319: by Dee (new)

Dee (austhokie) | 345 comments who is the narrator RA?


message 320: by R.A. (new)

R.A. Desilets | 375 comments Sean Runnette -- I looked him up and it doesn't look like he's done many other YA audiobooks. He'd get a little over zealous on some words, putting over the top emphasis and some longer pauses than necessary. It wasn't awful (I've had to stop listening to some narrators before because the pacing was so bad), but it wasn't amazing either.


message 321: by Dee (new)

Dee (austhokie) | 345 comments never heard of him...shall have to try a sample and see

Hi R.A! Was this an owned book? Or had it been on your TBR?

message 337: by Anna Kay (last edited Dec 26, 2014 06:15PM) (new)

Anna Kay (annakaybooks) | 697 comments Finished my sixth and seventh books for the challenge!!! Afterglow (Wildefire, #3) by Karsten Knight (12/25) Series not continued > six months and City of Flowers (Stravaganza, #3) by Mary Hoffman (12/09) tbr list for > 6 months My original post #9 is updated. :D Glad I used Afterglow (Wildefire, #3) by Karsten Knight and finally read it, because it was definitely one of the better series enders I've read in a very long time. The epilogue had me tearing up and only made the book that much better. Shocker, right? I was beginning to think that all epilogues were outsourced by writers/publishing houses to any bum off the street who knew the alphabet. *coughDeathlyHallowscough*
