Angela(demonsangel) Fitzgerald (demonsangel) | 74 comments Right now I've finished listening to Dancing with Deception Dancing with Deception (Dancing, #0.5) by Andrea Heltsley and according to Audible it was an hour and 40 minutes long but I listened to it in about an hour. It's a Novella, book 0.5. It is a teen book and it's also a sci-fi/fantasy audio.
I'm now listening to an audio by Tony Bertauski, The Discovery of Socket Greeny The Discovery of Socket Greeny (Socket Greeny #1) by Tony Bertauski and I will also listen to the first book in the Dancing Series because Dancing with Deception was pretty good. The first book is called, Dancing with Death Dancing with Death (Dancing, #1) by Andrea Heltsley and I know it's also a teen and sci-fi/fantasy audio book.
I have so many audio books to post reviews on. The ones I've been showing are just a few that I'm behind on. I'll get all the reviews done, hopefully soon. I don't want to let the authors or narrators down and I won't.

I haven't figured out if I want to read this one or not. I haven't picked it up yet. Maybe once it comes out on TV, I'll see if I like it and go from there.

I got obsessed with The White Queen on TV and then got obsessed with all of the books. Just finished the ARC of book 6 last night and now I'm definitely book hungover! ;-D

Really nice to hear. I loved the first two books so much. If the last book stays good it could end up being my favorite trilogy.

I hadnt looked closely enough to the book you were reading, I thought you were still on the second book. How far are you along David? I am reading if I stay, ive read it before but needed a reminder, I can stop and move on. Been waiting patiently, loved the first two books!

I know, disgusting! lol loving it so far though, love the contrast of the two voices of Dean and Josie. Almost like one is living in paradise compaired to the other who seems to be living in hell. Its been a great series so far!

heard better things about coa than half bad. well half bad I think is one of those you hate it or love it,while coa could be everything in between.
you could always read both,have on at youre night stand and read one during the day time.

Cindee | 331 comments finished reading the final book in the Monument 14 series. I thought this book was very well written, I think its my favorite out of the three. the ending is soooo satisfying. very often in the dystopian series I'm upset with the final book and ending, but this ends perfectly. great series, one of my favorites!

As it turns out, I flew through both books 2 and 3 and now I'm done. I have to say this was an AWESOME series. Emmy's writing came so far from book 1 to 3 in terms of how important and serious everything became. I was mesmerized by the end of the series!

I liked the new character Cole but other than that I wished she would have just left Shiver as a stand alone book because it was the best of the 3 IMO.

Donna (donanicole) | 897 comments I am reading The Long Walk by Stephen King a King book written as Richard Bachman and wonder how in the heck I missed it the first time. I used to buy ALL of Stephen King's books the DAY they came out. This one was in a collection written as Richard Bachman but I also knew early on that Bachman was King and I am sure I read the others in the collection this one was in. So how did I miss it? Anyway, almost done and it is amazing!


message 8397: by Jen (new)

Jen (jenwesner) | 1222 comments Just started Alienated (Alienated, #1) by Melissa Landers - still working on Hyperion (Hyperion Cantos, #1) by Dan Simmons and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Harry Potter, #2) by J.K. Rowling

Heidi - I really liked the Wolves of Mercy Falls series on audio. Much better than in print, I think.

Karen and David - enjoy Dreams of Gods & Monsters (Daughter of Smoke & Bone, #3) by Laini Taylor - I loved it even though it did get a little "out there" near the end. Made sense but it was still unexpected. Great ending.

W.J. Lennox | 100 comments Finished Divergent which although had a few flaws, was a real page turner. I know it's not Young Adult, but I'm compelled to work my way through all the GOT books.Currently Reading the 5th book in the Game of Thrones Series A Feast for Crowsabound with new characters, new places and runs parallel to the storyline in Blood & Gold. Just as well I'm on holiday,it's another marathon read by George.
