I have really enjoyed several YA audio books. The best by far have been The Book Thief and Will Grayson, Will Grayson. I also think Beauty Queens is fantastic. A few more that have been fun are the Harry Potter Series, The Lost Hero and Nation. I also enjoyed Cinder and The Girl of Fire and Thorns - I listened to the first one then read the physical copies for the 2nd and 3rd books and it was very helpful for pronunciations. I was really shocked to see some of the character's names and place names written out when I got to the paper copy. I am reading more and more books this way. I just finished Raven Boys using the free audio from SYNC http://www.audiobooksync.com/sync-young-adult-titles/the-raven-boys/ (I love this program) and I experienced The Fault in Our Stars via audio the first time through. I don't know who coined the phrase, but I like to say I'm "reading with my ears."
