#50- Plum Spooky.
DONE...although I'm going to shoot for 100. I'm half way there and only a couple of weeks past the half way point for the year. One thing though, the books I've been reading are just "plum short" so I need to get back to reading full size books.

#49 Become a Better You- Joel Osteen

...48...

#48- Visions of Sugar Plums finished July 9. These books are so quick to read!

Well, that's Hunter S. Thompson for you!

#44- Screwjack A Short Storyalso finished July 5th. (Nothing to do but lay around and read.)
It was written in English, but the book didn't seem to make any sense. The only part of the book I recognized as having somewhat of a plot was the short story involving the blow up doll beater. This book is whack. There is no other word for it. w-h-a-c-k.

#43- Goodnight Nobody finished July 5th. If anyone wants intelligent chic lit, grab Jennifer Weiner books. (She has a new one out as well.) She's a great writer and the stories are easy to ingest.

#42 - Pride and Prejudice and Zombies finished July 4th.



I really didn't like this very much. It had the possiblity to be so good! However, it was funny for about 2 chapters and then it was just Jane Austen writing (sorry, I find her quite long winded and boring) for the rest of the book.
It took me forever to get through this. I had to read this and the above book Bluebeard alternately for a week.

#41- Bluebeard by Kurt Vonnegut. Finished July 3rd.

I'm counting down...9 more to go.

#40 Seductive Poison A Jonestown Survivor's Story of Life and Death in the People's Temple
Finished June 28
I don't usually leave too much editorial stuff on this board, but this book was absolutely creepy, amazing, and so emotional, I wanted to throw it across the room.
Anyone with any interest into the Jonestown massacre of 1978 should pick up this book. I have long been fascinated about Jonestown everytime it was discussed, but thought about picking up a book about it after a work lunch conversation about it early last week.
#1- It's crazy that people actually believed the words coming out of their mouths in defense of Jim Jones.
#2- There are so many misconceptions about the events of Jonestown that people misconstrue. These people did not live Christian lives and their religion was socialism. Jonestown has long been a whipping post of people vehemently against religion. Also, when people say "Don't drink the kool-aid." They should actually be saying, "Don't drink the flavoraid." Poor kool-aid got some serious bad press.
#3- There were almost 1k people that lived with torture, prison camp labor, and the dread of white nights. Why didn't someone start a revolt? Would the security team have helped or turned people in? Even Jones's sons (who survived the tragedy) were disgusted by him.
#4 - According to Wiki (which I checked a few days ago) Jonestown was the biggest loss of American civilian life until Sept. 11th.
If you are interested in Jonestown, pick up Debbie Layton's book. (Yes. Larry Layton's sister.) Her writing is choppy, but this woman knows how to tell the story of the hell she lived for so long. The reader is on the edge of their seat, even though we know how it turns out.

#39- The Last Girls finished June 25th

#38 - The Time Machine finished June 21.

#37-How Sassy Changed My Life A Love Letter to the Greatest Teen Magazine of All Time finished June 20, 2009.

#36 Things I've Learned From Women Who've Dumped Me June 17.

#35 The House on Mango Street finished June 12.

#34 Bread Alone A Novel finished June 11.

#33- The Beach Housefinished Sunday, June 7th.

#32 - The Last Lecture finished 6/2/09. I figure I can take my time from now on. If I finish one book a week, I'll still be done in Oct. and I'm averaging about 3 a week lately.
Whoo!

#31 The Bell Jar finished May 31. I'd been wanting to read this for awhile. I'm glad I got the chance.

It's ending was definitely not expected. It was ok and a quick read if you need to finish some books to make goal.

How did you like this? I have it on my TBR list, but haven't see/heard too much about it.

#30 Certain Girls finished May 29.
