    Zaltys is a girl like any other to grow up ranging thejungles of the Southern Lluirwood. She’s a crack shot with a bow and no stranger to the dangers that lurk beneath the deep forest canopy. On expedition with her family to harvest the forbidden terazul flower, a powerful drug that has gathered many a dreamer into its narcotic embrace, Zaltys is about to unearth a truth long buried by the feculent loam of deception.

    Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

    The story is good, but the performance, well... Since it is about a girl, I would have enjoyed the performance better if a woman read this story. I felt the reader rushed through the book so I found it hard to relax and listen. If I was listening to this while I was running instead of to relax after work maybe I would have liked the performance better..

    Meghan Chase is finally getting used to being the Iron Queen, ruler of the Iron Fey. Her life may be strange, but with former Winter prince Ash by her side at last, she wouldn't have it any other way. But when they travel to the Summer and Winter courts' gathering for Elysium, the oracle from Meghan's past returns with a dire prophecy: "What you carry will either unite the courts, or it will destroy them." Now Meghan faces a devastating choice that may determine the future of all fey - and her and Ash's unborn child....

    What did you love best about Iron's Prophecy?

    I loved it and am looking forward to the next book. She brought back Puk and Ash.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    Razer, a small gremlin who is a pet of of the prince. He is a bundle of fun and loves sheep. I love it when he says "Bad Kitty!"


    What does Khristine Hvam bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    The way he does the voices. And Razer "Bad kitty!" again loved it.


    Any additional comments?

    I didn't read the book before this one so I had no idea that that the lead charters were related. It made the story more interesting as I tried to figure out who Kerin was..

    If you could sum up Cinder in three words, what would they be?

    A must Read!


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Cinder?

    The market when they first meet, then the elevator.


    What about Rebecca Soler’s performance did you like?

    She did a fine job with the different voices.


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    When her sister died.


    Any additional comments?

    It's an old story turned science fiction. Loved it! Can't wait to read more.

    Ship hurtles through space. Deep within its core it carries the seed of humankind. Launched by the people of a dying Earth over a century ago, its mission is to find a habitable world for the children - 15-year-old Zoheret and her shipmates - whom it has created from its genetic banks. To Zoheret and her shipmates, Ship has been mother, father, and loving teacher, preparing them for their biggest challenge: to survive on their own, on an uninhabited planet, without Ship’s protection. Now that day is almost upon them, but are they ready?

    Story

    Parts of this book reminded me of the Hunger Games, like when they have a contest to see which team can make it through the Hollow which is a wilderness earth like part of the ship they are on.
    I liked the part best when they go out and live in the Hollow on there own in preparation for them to live on the planet they are headed for.
    What I didn't like it that they could have sex without consequences, although their aren't any sex scenes.

    All in all it was a good book and I felt the Narrator was a perfect pick for the main charter's voice.

    In the fall of 1984, high school students Amanda Collier and Dawson Cole fell deeply, irrevocably in love. Though they were from opposite sides of the tracks, their love for one another seemed to defy the realities of life in the small town of Oriental, North Carolina. But as the summer of their senior year came to a close, unforeseen events would tear the young couple apart, setting them on radically divergent paths.

    The story was excellent and held my attention to the very end. I would have liked a happier ending, it is a very good read, and worth the money.

    "My name is Megan Chase. In less than 24 hours, I'll be 17. Although, technically, I won't actually be turning 17. I've been in the Nevernever too long. When you're in Faery, you don't age. So while a year has passed in the real world, agewise I'm probably only a few days older than when I went in. In real life, I've changed so much I don't even recognize myself."
