Audio book summary

I enjoy listening to audio books before I fall asleep, but sometimes forget to record which ones I listen too!  Here is a compilation of all I could recall.






The Selection by Kiera Cass ~ Good :)

Of Poseidon by Anna Banks ~ Great!  Though a few mildly intimate scenes

Twilight by Stephanie Meyer ~ I enjoyed it. I had read it before, and enjoyed listening to it as well.  Again with the intimate.  Not for younger audiences...or listeners or readers

Something like Fate by Susane Colasanti ~ Alright.  It seemed quite popular, which should have been a warning.  No great message, no great plot.  Eh.

Wings, Spells, and Illusions by Aprilynne Pike ~ Fantastic! Love this series! I had read all of these before, but was listening again as a prep for the final book :)

Book 41 - Divergent

What a great book! I received this book for Christmas, and easily finished it before the year was up.  It was astounding.  Veronica Roth now has my attention!

Book 40 - Sea

Sea,  by Heidi R. Kling, was an interesting book.  It was good, though a little sad in parts.  Based on real life natural disasters and the confusion of young love.

Book 39 - Princess Academy, Palace of Stone

Shannon Hale is one of my favorite authors.  I first read Princess Academy several years ago, and still pick it up from time to time.  I do so love her works.  The sequel to Princess Academy was a joy to read!  When Palace of Stone was released, I was thrilled to find and read it.


Book 38 - Mockingbird

What a lovely book.  Mockingbird, by Kathryn Erskine, was something I found amazing.  This covers the story of a little girl with Aspergers Syndrome. Although a fictional story, many of the quirks and explanations very much applied to me when I was younger, and some still do.

Book 37 - Keeping the Castle

Keeping the Castle, by Patrice Kindl.  I thoroughly enjoyed this!  I lovely quick read, another book set in the regency time period.

Book 36 - A Countess Below Stairs

A Countess Below Stairs, Eva Ibbotson, was enjoyable.  Another Half Price find, I was intrigued by the pretty cover.  It didn't pull me in quite as much as I had hoped for.  Still, in the end, it was a good read :)
