37. Whisky Sour by JA Konrath- fun book. Ok parts were gory but enjoyed this mixture of Evanovich and Cornwell
47. The Bone Garden by Tess Gerritsen. I loved this book! It scared me so much I screamed when I heard a noise... but it combined scariness with history ( Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. ,deathbed fever, resurrectionists(body snatchers), etc. I have read lots of her books and enjoyed them, but this is her best by far.

58.Don Juan Tenorio like this better than Burlador by Molina
59. La Princesse de Clèves good book
60. the Blue Dahlia by Nora Roberts
I liked the info about gardening. Obviously she does a lot of research when she writesI am reading about 5 books right now, so I tend to finish a lot at once. The above book is one of my read-at-red-lights book because I don't have to concentrate so much. I'm also working on The Gargoyle,Girl with the Dragon tattoo, Rebecca(reread), Les Fleurs du Mal, Woman in White(but it's an ebook and I don't like to sit and readat the computer)and just bought Harry Potter and Philosophy to use as I teach book one in Spanish 5...
61. Girl with the dragon tattoo
stunning book. I want to read the next, but need time to breath after finishing dragon and right on its tail...62. The Gargoyle
breath-taking
63. Evil at Heart by Chelsea Cain. This writer must have nightmares- deliciously gruesome. 
64. Cross Country by James Patterson and someone else. did not like- too many explanation marks that were distracting plus I "Knew" I was reading instead of being engrossed. disappointing.
65. Little Brother by Cory Doctorow
one of the "battle of the books" books. I think the kids will really like the computer tech info
