I see one of the libraries in my circuit just addded the audio for Cress so I think I might get it soon :)
I just finished Out of This Place
which I got on audio for under $3. It was pretty good. It was short though so it left me wanting more.

I love it too Darcy. I have been checking my library online 2-3 times per week for the audio and today was the first day an audiobook showed up!

I am listening to The Ghost of Raven Hill
because I got the audio for super cheap and it is narrated by my "girl crush" Rebecca Macauley who narrated On the Jellicoe Road. :)

i really enjoy this cozy mystery series and the audio is one of the best i've listened to. just found out they don't have an audio for the last three of her books. sucks!

Heidi *Listen. I'll just keep talking anyway. * wrote: "I thought I was the last to read it David! I feel better now :)"Ha! No, I'm with you too!
I'm now reading
, which is SO GOOD so far! I'm only 8% in but I'm really impressed with it, sort of a mix between Graceling and Throne of Glass :)
NOpe, not at all Heidi! I've been eyeing my book for about a week, but this is one I really want to read with my friends :)
I'm holding off a little on The Lunar Chronicles in hopes that I'll be able to read all of them back to back. My patience for waiting for sequels to be published is not great.David, I hope you like Grave Mercy 'cause I enjoyed it a lot. I'm working on the sequel: Dark Triumph Again, the last book isn't out yet so I'll be annoyed with waiting but at least it is due out this year.
We are getting ready to start our "Around the World" books! If you already signed up, check the threads out to see where you are on the list!!And if you haven't joined in yet, you are still welcome :)

Thanks Becky! I am really enjoying everything about Grave Mercy at the moment, although I'm still very early on :) How's the sequel?
David now that you are soon to have an "address" are you joining any of our Around the World book trips??
Oh yes, David join our Around the World book trips!! Then I'll get back some postcards from Hawaii ;) j/k It would be awesome if you joined, we'd love to hear your opinions! :)
Oooh maybe!! Although I might not have a permanent address for a couple months...how soon do I have to tell you?
I just finished
which I wasn't sure about at first but ended up really liking. It's more on the sci-fi side. I'll definitely continue this series. Next up:
in paperback and
on Kindle. :)
David wrote: "Oooh maybe!! Although I might not have a permanent address for a couple months...how soon do I have to tell you?"I'd think we could add you in at any time! It took about a year for our last around the world to finish up. I want to see the Hawaii swag and/or swag from your books, like bookmarks! ;-)

The sequel is a bit darker. It follows Sybella starting near the end of Grave Mercy. The bad guy is much creepier in this one and you know who it is the whole time. It still has a good deal of suspense, though, since you keep waiting for her to get in really big trouble. At least, that's how the first third has gone so far.
David wrote: "Oooh maybe!! Although I might not have a permanent address for a couple months...how soon do I have to tell you?"David, I can just add you to the end of the lists if you want. It will take awhile for them to get around! The Out of the Easy list is going east to west, anyways, so you'd be the farthest west ;)

OK sounds great! I'm in!

YAY! Awesome, I'll add you :) Might want to "tag" yourself in the threads, so you don't miss anything!
No we don't mind Kristen!!!! I sent a message out to all members so it is for everyone no matter where you live (someone in the UK thought it discounted her but it didn't). Basically someone (Jenny in this case) sends around one of her books to whomever joins in and everyone reads it and posts comments on here and puts in a post card or token and agrees to mail it off to the next person on the list (sorry you do have to pay postage). I just sent one of my books around and got it back in about a year with a ton of goodies! It is good fun as long as everyone keeps the book going :)
That is so awesome :). Sorry I missed the message. I've been swamped and for some reason having issues missing things on Goodreads. is it too late to join in?
Nope, you are still welcome, Kristen! You can sign up in the thread, we just need your name and where your are from (state, province, or country!)

I really want to read These Broken Stars ... I've heard good things about it. And I really liked The Immortal Rules! And the sequel, also.
