I am only on the 2nd CD (out of 9) but I like it so far. There are two narrators (male and female) and so far I like the female narrator more but the male could win me over :)
How are they doing the multiple narration?
Mod
They are reading opposing chapters so far - it appears that the male is reading chapters with his characters "voice" and the female is reading the chapters with her characters "voice" if that makes sense.
I am currently reading casual vacancy by J.K. Rowling. I know it's not YA, but it's still interesting.
It does, Heidi. I really like that idea.
Mod
Which was okay ... kind of a typical teen drama, though.
And I started:
Which is super intense so far!
Mod
I really liked that book (I listened to the audio) but it was a heavy read.
Mod
which is fun so far!"I need to get to the sequel of this series

It was an ok first book. Not the best, but interesting enough that I want to continue the series.

Bluemoon I like the Diva series but the main character is kind of a push over which drives me batty.
Mod
Her other series (Soulless is book one) is even better on audio IMO but they are both great listens.

Mod
No problem Bluemoon - I am always excited for the Sync list to be revealed!
I'm 1/3 of the way through
and about halfway through
. I started the Red Pyramid about a year ago, put it down and never came back to it, so I've started it over and I have to say I'm much more into the story this time around.

and am already hooked. It reminds me of the same energy of Cinder which I loved. I could not get into Scarlet as much for some reason. I wonder if I was just not in the mood for it or it was the actual book?? Anywho - love this series!
Mod
So, yesterday I finished:
Ehhh it was not really my thing. I really wanted to like it because I thought the concept was awesome ... but I felt like too much of the plot was dedicated to pretty typical teenage drama and there wasn't much explanation for the whole supernatural aspect, which bothered me.
This morning I started:
Which I've heard good things about, and I like it so far!

I enjoyed Scarlet, but like you, not nearly as much as Cinder, so it's good to hear that Cress is living up to your expectations :)

@Ivory - Ooh I liked All The Truth That's In Me. It's a pretty unusual story and writing style, but I thought it was interesting.
@Darren - I just read The False Prince and also really enjoyed it! Hoping to read the next book in the series very soon. :)
Mod
Cress! How's the audio, Heidi? I think that's what I'm going to do. :)
Love Vampire Academy! Good all the way through, too!
Mod
I am super duper in LOVE with it! It is the same narrator as the first two books and I like her :)

Mod
"I have looked at that one a few times but never started it - let me know your thoughts please :)
