Wild Things: YA Grown-Up discussion

June 2013: Audiobook Appreciation Month- Listen to an audiobook.

Happy listening! :)

Yay!! I'm so glad this finally won!!

If you haven't listened to them, the Percy Jackson books (starting with The Lightning Thief) are fun on audio. I also just finished Daughter of Smoke & Bone on audio and it was good.

Kellee, this month doesn't specify if the audiobook has to by YA. If we can listen to adult audiobooks, I would highly recommend The Heretic's Daughter and Song Yet Sung on audio. The women who narrate those books could read me the dictionary and I would be entranced!

Just join on in at any time :)

I listen to audiobooks when I run. A good reader will make a book even better. Some great recent listens are: The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making; Raven Boys; Diviners; Divergent; Lamb... I could go on and on...

Oh, and if you're doing a road trip, there's nothing better!

I second the audios for Raven Boys, Diviners, & Divergent. His Dark Materials is done really well, too - they used a full cast! Ready Player One is supposed to have a great audio as well (read by Wil Weaton).

I can't believe it's never occurred to me, but Lamb on audio has got to be hilarious!

It is HYSTERICAL!!!

I listened to The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate by Jacqueline Kelly.

I listened to The Eyre Affair. It was ok.

Yay! I finished Fearless by Cornelia Funke and loved it! :)

Finished The Monstrumologist by Rick Yancey.

So good on audio!

I listen to most of my books on audio, because I can get away with listening at work. This month I heard:

The Reformed Vampire Support Group by Catherine Jenks
The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing, Traitor to the Nation, Vol I: The Pox Party by M T Anderson (a lot better than I was expecting)
Insurgent by Veronica Roth
I Hunt Killers by Barry Lyga
Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater (2 readers!)
Legend by Marie Lu (2 readers!)
How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff
Why We Broke Up by Daniel Handler (the only way I could get through this atrocious book...)
Lost Voices by Sarah Porter
A Step from Heaven by An Na
and the 10th anniversary (full cast recording) version of American Gods by Neil Gaiman (which, of course, was awesome)

Wow! You guys did great this month!!
I listened to More Napalm and Silly Putty by George Carlin and Oh, The Things I Know! by Al Franken :)
