Ok thanks! I am not into reality tv or that world so I will probably skip them for now but I have always wondered about them when I see them so I am glad to get a real reader update :)

Heidi - yes, I'll be listening. I think the narrator has a British accent?

Mod
It is a full cast audio Jen - I loved it. It does take some getting used to all the voices. I think the Katsa voice for sure is British. Let me know how you like it :)
Mod
So I'm working on our monthly read:
I'm like a third of the way through and so far I agree with Heidi ... it's more middle grade than YA so it's not really my thing. It's just okay for me so far.
I'm also reading:
It's four books in one and I've already made it through The Sword in the Stone. So, just three more books to go. :P
I also started:

Good to know. I may need to re-read it. It was creepy!
I hated Lord of the Flies when I was younger, I am thinking if I re-read it I might not hate it so much. Its on my eventually sometime read again list :)

I'd like to reread this one too! I'm loving the
series which felt like a modern day Lord of the Flies so would like to see how I'd feel reading 40 years after the first read. Eep...! That's a long time! I'm old! ;-)

Sounds good to me! Wonder what it is like on audio? *off to listen to sample*

Wow you are moving right along.

Good idea and I love that idea for a list! Sick of waiting for sequels...it's Okayyyy so far, cool concept but a bit slow moving and random at the moment, but I think it's about to pick up!
People just think i'm behind the times when I am not reading popular series when they come out. Its just I am still reading the popular series that are now completed from several years ago because I am too impatient to wait for sequels ;)
Like the A song of Ice and Fire series... there are going to be at least 2 more books. While they are long books... and I might not even like them... if I do I don't want to be stopped.
Mod
Have this on audio, but haven't gotten around to listening to it...

That one (Jacky) was a lot darker than the earlier books just to warn you. Still good though.

For a YA author, she isn't that bad. She could be better, she could be worse. But all in all I think she is okay. Her story lines are based upon real life in the celeb word that is, and unlike Hilary Duff who writes about silly garbly gook, I would rather read Lauren's books any day :-)
