Chapter 2 of Megamorphs 2, part 18.5 of Animorphs Aloud, a fan-produced read-aloud version of the Animorphs series. You might be wondering why the cover art for this book is extra fancy with multiple color border. Well, that's because, when this book was released, there were SIX different versions of the cover! One for each of the cast, and which had a full-page mid-morph portrait on the second page. (Side-note: There's also a seventh multi-color version that is the current e-book cover.) Anyway, I wanted to pay homage to them all, so I put all the colors in. I originally planned to put them in narrator order (Jake-purple, Rachel-green, Tobias-violet, Cassie-blue, Marco-red, Ax-orange), but the colors didn't pop well, so I mixed them up a little. Thanks for listening!

Chapter 1 of Megamorphs 2 - In the Time of Dinosaurs, part 18.5 of Animorphs Aloud, a fan-produced read-aloud version of the Animorphs series. Summary: An incident with a nuclear sub sends the Animorphs back to the past. Way back. Like, Cretaceous Period back. Now, not only are they in a desperate fight for survival against creatures that none of their morphs can handle, they also have no idea how to undo the Sario Rip and get back to the present.

Chapter 29, the final chapter of The Decision, part 18 of Animorphs Aloud, a fan-produced read-aloud version of the Animorphs series. This is the second of two chapters uploaded today. Make sure you get both! Also, great news: the next part of Animorphs Aloud is Megamorphs #2, and it is already finished! I worked on it a year and half ago so that Sam on Reddit could have it for her Animorphs reviews. This was before we knew if there would be official audiobooks for the specials, and we didn't want Sam to have to skip them and come back. I am still going to upload it at the standard 'chapter every two days' pace so that I can focus on my professional contracts for now. I hope you look forward to it! Thanks for listening!

Chapter 28 of The Decision, part 18 of Animorphs Aloud, a fan-produced read-aloud version of the Animorphs series. Super short chapter, so I've uploaded the next one as well! Thanks for listening!

Chapter 26 of The Decision, part 18 of Animorphs Aloud, a fan-produced read-aloud version of the Animorphs series. I was very, very torn about two lines of dialogue near the end of the chapter. In the text, Jake says, and Ax answers, . But I couldn't help but feel that's a typo and that they should have been switched, with Ax asking the question and Jake answering. I went back and forth and back and forth on it. At last, I left it as it was, but I'd love to hear what y'all's opinions are - should I change it? Which makes more sense, character-wise? Thanks for listening!

Chapter 21 of The Decision, part 18 of Animorphs Aloud, a fan-produced read-aloud version of the Animorphs series. I had hoped to have this up this morning at the usual time, but there were a couple of lines that needed to be rerecorded. And I just knew you all wouldn't mind waiting a bit for the higher quality product! ;) Thanks for listening!

Chapter 21 of The Decision, part 18 of Animorphs Aloud, a fan-produced read-aloud version of the Animorphs series. A long-awaited update! Part of the reason I took so long is because I went back and forth and back and forth on how the Leerans should sound in this chapter. See, in their previous appearance back in book 15, the Leeran used vocal sounds combined with a different type of mental voice than thought-speak (distinguished by underlined text rather than bracketed). In this chapter, and in a couple other places, it's the regular bracketed thought-speak. I thought at first maybe it was a typo, and it's meant to be the other kind of mental dialogue? But nope, there's plenty of underelined dialogue, too. So then I wondered if the thoughtspeak was more just the Yeerks' voices, as only they use it. If so, should they have a slightly different voice than their Leeran host? I recorded a couple of different options; but in the end, I went with the Leeran inflections I used before, combined with my standard thought-speak effect. Hopefully, that's ok! (Also, life has been really busy this week! Shout-out to my parents' elderly dog, whom I watched while they were out of town, and who regularly woke me up in the middle of the night to go outside, even when she didn't need to pee, and thus making me tired all over again. -_- ) Thanks for listening!

Chapter 20 of The Decision, part 18 of Animorphs Aloud, a fan-produced read-aloud version of the Animorphs series. I don't think I made any mistakes when editing this, but I was pretty darn tired by the time I reached the end of the chapter! Let me know if I missed anything and there's like a line missing or something. Thanks for listening!

Chapter 10 of The Decision, part 18 of Animorphs Aloud, a fan-produced read-aloud version of the Animorphs series. Another short one, sorry! I'll have the next one ready quicker, but overall, May is a pretty busy month for me, so there will probably be 3-4 days between each chapter. Thanks for listening!

The entirety of Book 17, The Underground (Ch. 1 - 30), for Animorphs Aloud. Thanks for listening! Summary: The Animorphs have just found a new weapon against the Yeerks: oatmeal. Yes, oatmeal. But only the maple and ginger flavor. Instant maple and ginger flavor. It drives the Yeerks insane, giving their hosts some freedom...but also eliminates the Yeerks' need for Kandrona, which means they can stay permanently in their hosts' brains. Should the Animorphs use it? Is some freedom better than none, or should total freedom be the goal? Thanks for listening! Don't forget to support the official Animorphs audiobooks!

Chapter 29 of The Underground, part 17 of Animorphs Aloud, a fan-produced read-aloud version of the Animorphs series. I wish I could include memes in the description here, because Lord Farquaad's "That is a sacrifice I am willing to make" would be SO appropriate for this chapter!

Chapter 28 of The Underground, part 17 of Animorphs Aloud, a fan-produced read-aloud version of the Animorphs series. Sorry this is such a short chapter. If the next one had been short too, I would have uploaded two, but as it's not, and I could use the extra time to start recording book 18, I'm afraid you'll have to make do with just the one. Thanks for listening!

Chapter 23 of The Underground, part 17 of Animorphs Aloud, a fan-produced read-aloud version of the Animorphs series.

Chapter 14 of The Underground, part 17 of Animorphs Aloud, a fan-produced read-aloud version of the Animorphs series. I was going to be so productive this weekend, and then my body had the audacity to go and catch norovirus! -_- Don't get norovirus, it sucks. Also, Cassie says in this chapter that she thinks moles don't bite. 10-year-old me can categorically assure you that is NOT the case. A scared little mole will definitely bite your finger! I don't know how likely it is that one would get rabies or some other infection from a mole bite, but luckily for me, I didn't, cause I wouldn't have known to mention it. Thanks for listening!
