Mockingjay (Hunger Games, #3)
Vampire Academy (Vampire Academy, #1)
Undead and Unfinished (Undead, #9)
Girls That Growl (Blood Coven, #3)
Stake That! (Blood Coven, #2)
I’ve finished 5 books in the DystopYA challenges. I’ve made 2 changes to the list, as I’ve found that I can’t motivate myself to read two of the books that I originally chose. One of them being A Wrinkle in Time and the other being Bridge to Terabithia. I’m sure that I’ll eventually get to [...]

As I said in my post about Life as We Knew It, I switched out one of my challenge books. I decided to take A Wrinkle In Time off the list. I had tried to read it and didn’t care for it a while ago and only put it back to sort of force myself [...]

First – this was the 50th book of the year for me. 50th! I’m stunned. Sure, the majority are audio, but even still, I’ve been listening to audiobooks for years and never get to the 50 mark. I ended up with 31 in 2006, 39 in 2005 and 2004. A lot of those were typically [...]

I have now finished book 3 of the 7 that I chose for the DystopYA challenges! I quite enjoyed Little Brother. As a geek, it tickled my geeky side quite a bit. As a reader, however, it disappointed me. I felt that the Epilogue was tacked on just as an afterthought, at the behest of [...]

The Giver was a super quick read at 208 pages. It was a good book, but I’m not sure I understand why so many people think this is a must read. I can see encouraging youths to read it, but I wouldn’t say that it’s a must read. From Goodreads: Jonas’ world is perfect. Everything [...]

The first book I chose for the DystopYA challenge(s) was The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I typically like YA, but this one? I absolutely LOVED. From Goodreads: Katniss is a 16-year-old girl living with her mother and younger sister in the poorest district of Panem, the remains of what used be the United States. [...]
Books:1) The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins (100%)2) The Giver by Lois Lowry (100%)3) Little Brother by Cory Doctorow (100%)Books:4) Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins (100%)5) The Dead and the gone by Susan Beth Pfeffer (100%)6) Life As We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer (100%)Extra:7) Lord of the Flies by William Golding
I read, a lot. I also listen to a lot of audio books.What I don’t seem to get is why people think that audio books aren’t as time consuming as ‘real’ books. You spend just as much time listening to it as you would reading it, because it’s not being read any faster than a [...]
