reading
and liking it a lot so far. I've been in a terrible dry spell and can't decide if i'm just being too picky or if there's way too much crap being published these days...I'm going with the second option. Whatever the reason I've had a really hard time finding books that hold my interest. And so far Arclight is doing a dang good job!

I will definitely have to try to push through the beginning again sometime!

The Chaos Walking series is one of the best dystopians out there! You must read it, Tracy! I'm loving the re-read by audio!

I'm reading Partials right now, and it's really good so far!

The noise is a bit echoey. I love Manchee's "voice".

Starting today. Has anyone read this, it had mixed reviews?? Also, my copy has a different cover, which I like better than the above. Thanks
Karen wrote: "Kritika wrote: "Karen wrote: "Heidi (Seriously. Trust me.) wrote: "Karen wrote: "Just finishing up [bookcover:Bloody Jack: Being an Account of the Curious Adventures of Mary "Jacky" Faber, Ship's B..."oh cool!
Yay for Chaos Walking! I guess I need to try the audio Karen. I like the narrator from other audiobooks I've listened to.

I read it a year ago. I did buy the second book to read. I do remember liking it but being confused over who was who, but it all comes together at some point. I gave it a 4 which means I liked it enough to read the sequel. :)

For some reason, I thought you had listened to the Chaos books on audio.
The audio gives a sample of what the "noise" sounds like when it's everyone together... Yikes!!

Nope Karen. The series actually wasn't released on audiobook until the 3rd book was released in print so since I had read the first two I just read the third one. I know my library Overdrive has the audiobooks so I will check them out :)

That happens to me DeAnna. I get all my holds from the library at one time.

Under the Dome by Stephen King and Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind. I know it's not YA but need to have a break with the genre a bit.

My husband got the whole series for a Secret Santa gift at work, but I have only read the first one.

I used to but then my computer crashed and the only way to get it back up was for my nephew to redo the whole thing and I lost everything.
@Janie- Haven't watched the show yet, but so far, I'm loving the book. Or maybe I'm just biased because I'm such a huge King fan. ;-) I'm just on chapter 8 of Wizard'sFR but I'm already excited on what would happen!! I think I'll get hold of the rest of the series once I'm done with this one.

And by the way, I'm actually intrigued with the Chaos Walking Trilogy. Is it really that good? I mean, I had alot of bad experiences with YA dystopian recently with all the uncalled-for romances happening, and I wante to read something that's entirely different from all those generic stuff.

Best YA dystopian ever!! No unnecessary romance, awesome villains, great plot, and incredible creative. Read all three in a row, you won't be disappointed!!

It's one of my absolute favourite series, I've got these on ebook & paperback & recently got them on audio which is amazing!
I'm currently reading
& this book is amazing, I've loved it so far I'm no where near the ending yet & its been so exciting. If you love YA dystopia you have to read this book, I read it until the early hours last night & will deffo finish this before the end of my weekend!
Gary wrote: "And by the way, I'm actually intrigued with the Chaos Walking Trilogy. Is it really that good?

I am quite picky and besides David's series and Hunger Games I pretty much have disliked most other dystopian books I have read (Insurgent was a big old disappointment to me).

I just finished
, and I'm so disappointed, I don't even know what to say! Next up is
. I really hope it's good because I can't take anymore mediocre books. Oh yeah, and it's 450+ pages, and I have to have it back to the library in 5 days!
Good to know. I've heard great things about it, but I'm not typically a sci-fi fan, so who knows?In slightly better news, I googled the author of Ghost Time, and it's supposed to be a trilogy. Makes the ending a little more tolerable, but still, just frustrated.
