44. Jemima J, Jane GreenIt was okay. Not my favorite chick lit book but not my least favorite either.
43. Punching In, Alex Frankel.Interesting insight into people who work on the front lines of retail and service jobs.
42. Exposed - Memoirs of a Wedding Photographer, Claire Lewis.I'm hoping I can make it to 50...we'll see.
41. Cohn-Head, Linda CohnThe memoirs of a prominent female anchor on ESPN. It was quite interesting and a very quick read.
40. Good Luck, Whitney GaskellChick lit, and kind of predictable, but cute nonetheless.
39. Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer, Warren St. JohnAn interesting view into Alabama football fans and their love for the team.
38. Waiter RantVery good - I could barely put it down!
37. Feeding the Monster, Seth Mnookin
36. Bringing Home the Birkin, Michael TonnelloEntertaining and quick.
I too am in the camp of never wanting to read James Frey's "memoir," but I picked up his new book Bright Shiny Morning and really enjoyed it. (Amusingly, there is a big disclaimer at the beginning saying that everything in the book is a work of fiction.)I don't think I'll ever read the Lord of the Rings trilogy or anything in that genre. Fantasy's just not appealing to me. (Sydney, you're not the only one!)
35. Firefight: Inside the Battle to Save the Pentagon on 9/11 by Patrick Creed and Rick NewmanA quick read, and very interesting, but the subject matter's pretty grim. For some reason, disaster management fascinates me.
34. Bright Shiny Morning, James FreyIt took a little while to get used to the strange syntax but I really enjoyed this book.
33. Under the Banner of Heaven, Jon Krakauer
32. Mommy Tracked, Whitney Gaskell.
31. Deep Drive, Mike Lowell with Rob BradfordMike Lowell is wonderful, so I really enjoyed this book.
30. Are You There, Vodka, It's Me, Chelsea by Chelsea Handler.Not for the easily offended, but hilarious. She has so many strange and wacky adventures. I hope she writes another book!
I'm currently working on Snuff by Chuck Palahniuk. It's my first one by him, and I'm kind of ambivalent on it.
I had no idea Marc Acito had come out with a new book, so when I saw it at the store, I just had to get it! Is it as good as How I Paid for College?
29. The Bright Side of Disaster, Katherine Center
27. Girls in Pants, Ann Brashares28. Forever in Blue, Ann Brashares
Finished off the series.
Summer Sisters is one of my all-time favorite books. I read it at least once a year. It's no amazing story but I enjoy it every time, even though I know what's going to happen.
