#115-Trunk MusicI get thoroughly engrossed in Connelly's books. Didn't enjoy this one quite as much as some of his others. 3 1/2*
#112-Watership DownRichard Adams' little girls were lucky to have such a great story-teller for a father. Never thought I would enjoy rabbit tales so much. 4*
#109-Poppy Done to DeathI'm now finished with Charlaine Harris' non-Sookie Stackhouse books - wish there were more. 4*

Thanks, Tiffany! I was going to try to "limit" myself to 75 this year - couldn't do it!
#107-The OutsidersTimeless, powerful novel of adolescence - especially considering it was written by a 16-year-old girl. 4*
#106-My Nest Isn't Empty, It Just Has More Closet Space: The Amazing Adventures of an Ordinary WomanGreat fun - will look for more by this author. 4*
#104-Waterless MountainLovely Newbery-winning tale of a Navajo boy who wants to be a medicine man. It's a shame this way of life and appreciation of the earth has pretty much disappeared. 3 1/2*
#103-Great American SpeechesNot surprisingly, I'd have to say MLK and JFK's speeches are the most inspiring ones in this book. 4*
#101-Where'd You Go, BernadetteQuirky, clever, and funny. Subtracted 1/2 for the not-quite-satisfying ending. 4 1/2*
#100-The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual EnlightenmentAnd I hit 100! Who wants to clean or watch TV when there is READING to be done?!
Good ideas, but nothing terribly unique. Buddhism is much the same philosophy. 3*
#99-Touching My Father's Soul: A Sherpa's Journey to the Top of EverestI enjoyed reading about this 1996 Everest expedition from the Sherpa (Tibetan Buddhist) point of view. 4*
