Glad to see you liked The Glass Castle Shelby! I think this is another one of those love it or hate it type books! Thanks for sending me Such a Pretty Fat; it's bringing me a laugh a day!!
75 Andre Talks Hair With a Special Message from Oprah Winfrey for school. I like him though.
76. The Graveyard Book
77. Bobbi Brown Beauty Evolution A Guide to a Lifetime of Beauty
I still need to read this too! You must have enjoyed Outlander if you are continuing with the series!
I started the Outlander series and it's slowed me down big time. I'm reading Dragonfly In Amber now and it's not moving so fast, but then I'm tired this week and keep falling asleep. lol
71. Moose A Memoir of Fat Camp
72. The Magic Of You I kinda really liked this one and it's usually not my cup of tea. Cute book.
69. Such a Pretty Fat One Narcissist's Quest to Discover if Her Life Makes Her Ass Look Big, or Why Pie is Not the Answer
70.The Mirror
I loved these two books. The Mirror was amazing!
I know! I love it. Before my leg acted up I did alot of hiking, kayaking and mtn biking. But now I seem to just eat chocolate! lol
Cactus Eaters is about the Pacific Crest Trail. :) It is sad there aren't more narratives about trail life, isn't it?
Oscar Wilde is a bit tough to get into. I really enjoyed "Ideal Husband," but more for the tongue-in-cheek of high society of living.
Have you ever read any of the narratives from the Pacific Crest Trail? (It goes from Mexico to Canada through California. AT and PCT are my life goals.) I keep hearting Cactus Eaters is a good one... and there's one about a couple doing it together. I believe its called "A Blistered Kind of Love."
Go Shelby! You're reading up a storm; I think I've slowed down a little lately. Only 32 books to go to make it to 100, yea!
67. Never Let Me Go This one just never panned out for me.
68. The Girl Who Stopped Swimming Good one. Great southern characters.
August:
65. The Picture of Dorian Gray
66. The Confessions of Max Tivoli
These two books were both definately not my favorites.

I'll go through a period where there is always a book in my hand then I could go months without reading.
Shelby, Love your hair!! I remember I really enjoyed On Mystic Lake; still have to read Those Who Save Us. You go girl; reading up a storm!
You girls are sweet! I go through periods when I can't get enough to read and then a period where I won't read much at all. I guess right now is a book time! :)
(bowing down in front of my computer exclaiming "I'm not worthy" over & over) HOLY COW girl! I am impressed! SO impressed!
Shelby, Stardust the movie is adorable. I'm not sure about the difference between the film and book since I haven't read the novel. But I was enchanted.
61. Stardust Pretty cute fantasy. I see there is a movie out too. I wouldn't mind seeing it. I like seeing how someone's interpretation is different than mine.
62. The Miracle Life of Edgar Mint A Novel Liked this one.
YAY! You're halfway there! PHEW! I heard Thin Air was fantastic! If I am able to cram it in, that'll be on my TBR list.
Exactly what I thought...I thought it was good. Sad book and a book that hit home for me with the verbal crap but I was glad to read it. I hope others do as well and that it helps women out there in the same situation....
