Young adult or teen books

Normally I don’t get into young adult or teen books but a few have been recommended by trust worthy sources and am I glad they did! I am an audio book junkie, I mean come on something has to fill my 8hrs of work that seems like an eternity. And trust me, I’ve had my fill of politics so I listen to audio books 40 hours a week. Anyways, I’ve done the typical Harry Potter and Twilight but I had no idea I’d listen to any that weren’t in your face mainstream for the masses type of books. Well along came the strongly pushed recommendation of a cute series called Magic in Manhattan by Sarah Mlynowski and it really is too cute not to listen to or read. I couldn’t hit stop on the audio book, I listened to the first 4 in a week and I can’t wait for the next one! I told my sister about it and she msg’d me on my BB to tell me she loved it so much she was on book 2 already. Okay back to my original thought, young adult books, there really a fun way to pass the time when you’re out of your more intense books. I am now starting another cute series called Suddenly Supernatural which I hear is a really fun read/listen as well.

So what I’m trying to say is don’t get frustrated when you’re out of your fave series. Try something new and fresh if only for a chance to have a light hearted yet fun time.

Now Reading!

I’m in the process of adding all the books I’ve read, currently reading and books I want to read thanks to a nifty plugin called Now Reading. You can find all my books in my library I will eventually sort which ones I’ve read and what not but until then there it is. It has a sidebar widget but for some reason it screwed my theme up majorly so until I finish designing my upcoming theme it will have to do I suppose.

I’ll warn you now all my books fall into the Fiction Fantasy genre meaning there’s bound to be a vampire, were-animal of some sort, demon, witch, ghost or some other paranormal twist to it. What can I say I grew up watching all the classic “monster” movies and it just carries on over to books too.

I’m in audiobook heaven, literally!

Okay, my job is mundane but I still need to maintain focus and accuracy, so I usually listen to Adam Carolla and Chuck Powell’s Morning Ritual then some talk radio that gets my blood pressure to high, and I start spacing out. (Not a hard thing for me if you know me, lol!) Anyways, I really love the Dresden Files that Sci-fi chose not to renew, bastards put Flash Gordon instead, whatever! So I decided to get the audiobooks that the show was based on and give them a listen since I really loved the show and the only audiobook experience I had was the Harry Potter books which kept me riveted to my seat in anticipation and focused on what I was keying at work. Well I wasn’t let down in the least, Jim Butcher, the author of Dresden Files is awesome which I already knew but even better, James Marsters aka Spike of Buffy the Vampire fame was the narrator! I must say he does a great job reading, but I still prefer Paul Blackthorne, he’s my one and only Harry Dresden!

Anyways, you’re probably wondering when I’m going to get to the point, right? Well I’m in audiobook heaven because I discovered a whole new genre of books, and I get them for FREE! That’s right for FREE, I just got myself a card to my local library and wala, free audiobooks! Granted they don’t have everything, but it’s better than buying them or renting them.
