Jenn wrote," 102) I Hate Myself and Want to Die The 52 Most Depressing Songs You've Ever Heard by Tom Reynolds"
Hmmmmm.....Sounds depressing. I still need to read the Eve Duncan series. Started collecting books but have so many our from library that are coming due I can't read everything I want to. Plus, I seem to be stuck in a Romance phase.
Jenn, Just out of curiosity was L J Smith the same author who was attempting to sue Stephanie Meyer? I thought the book had Awakening in the title.
105) Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill
Lisa - my actual goal was 30! yes 30! Look how you guys have motivated me! You all are awsome!
oh wait did you mean one more to go in the series? Oh well you all still motivated me!
Jenn, what did you think of Heart-Shaped Box? Is Mr. Hill as good as his daddy? :) This one was on my list for a long time and I just forgot about it.
106) One for the Money by Janet Evanovich (Audiobook)
107) Two for the Dough (Audiobook)
Lisarenee is right. This series has me rolling. It is funny!

Viola - I liked it. Somewhere I had totally missed that Stephen King was his dad. I think that was a good thing though because I could read it without judgement. I thought it was a pretty unique concept. The one problem I had was that I had a difficult time liking the main character because he was an ass and I didn't find his redeemable qualities all that great. I did however get attached to the dogs.
However I LOVE his graphic novel Locke & Key. I highly recomend that. It's weird but good!
108) Three To Get Deadly by Janet Evanovich
109) The Tombs of Atuan by Ursula K. LeGuin
I really wanted to love these stories as they are classics but they were just so dry. This book was around 150 pages and it took me days to read it. One of my friends loves the Earthsea books so maybe it was just me.
Thanks, babe. I know GR often doesn't notify me when I have private messages, and I wanted to make sure you got mine.
112) A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray
Ok so have any of you gone on to read the other two books in this series? I thought this book was ok but man I really got tired of how self absorbed all of the characters were.
Hi Jenn!
I read the whole series and really liked it. It's been a while since I read them but I do know that the first book was my least favorite out of the three. There was quite a bit of controversy over the third book but I loved it. Others may disagree but my recommendation is to stick with them :)

Thanks Melis for giving me your thoughts on this. I will try the second one and see what I think.
113) The Tale of Despereaux Being the Story of a Mouse, a Princess, Some Soup and a Spool of Thread by Kate DiCamillo
I really enjoyed this fast and fun read.

I had a problem with this series. I thought the first one was OK and only read half of the second. I just really didn't like any of the characters and the overall plot just didn't engage me. I would like to finish the trilogy someday, but overall I just wasn't impressed.

This really is a wonderful book, isn't it?

That is the trouble I am having with them. I thought they were all snotty and shallow. Melis said she liked the other 2 better so I am going to keep trying.
114) Four to Score by Janet Evanovich
So after my husband and I listened to the first two on CD he asked me if we could read the next outloud since we did not have it on CD. Turns out I do all of the reading but it has been really fun to read these books together. They have us both laughing out loud often. I in shock over how much he is interested in these but hey it's fun.
Oh and I just have to say thanks to Lisarenee for getting us into this series!
Your welcome. I got my Mom hooked too when she was out here. Also, I bought some chairs from a furniture store and had a bunch of Janet Evanovich books on my seat and the man helping me load them into my car noticed them. He reads her books too. They put me in a good mood. I'm still reading her full series. It's not as good as the Stephanie Plum series, but it will entertain me until the next book comes out.
