88) O Pioneers by Willa Cather O Pioneers! (Great Plains Trilogy, #1) by Willa Cather

89) An Invisible Thread An Invisible Thread The True Story of an 11-Year-Old Panhandler, a Busy Sales Executive, and an Unlikely Meeting with Destiny by Laura Schroff

Renee M 91) Middlesex by Jeffery Eugenedies Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides
Best book of the year so far.

92) Dune Messiah by Frank Herbert Dune Messiah (Dune Chronicles, #2) by Frank Herbert
Number Two is the classic Science Fiction series. Terrific!

93) Divergent Divergent (Divergent, #1) by Veronica Roth
A fast-paced but ultimately unsatisfying read.

Loved 'Penumbra". Wasn't excited enough about 'Divergent' to read any more in the series. And 'Middlesex' has been waiting on my Kindle for ages. Need more reading time!! Congrats on #97 - wow!

99) The Scientific Method by Kris Ripper The Scientific Method, The Complete Miniseries by Kris Ripper
Sharp, funny, well-written Erotica.

100) The Girl With All The Gifts The Girl with All the Gifts by M.R. Carey
Excellent Futuristic Fiction! I couldn't put it down.

Renee M Ann-
I ordinarily wouldn't have continued with the Divergent series but I was suckered by the hype. A good friend just loved the series, and I thought there it's be something is missed. I'm on the fence about Allegiant. On the one hand I've already invested hundreds of pages. On the other, I'd have to go back to the factions. :0
