44) Carrie by Stephen King - One of my bingo squares was to read the first book of a favorite author and so I went with Stephen King's "Carrie". I can't b..."Oops, just read Melody's post, which answered my question. Sounds like a fun game :)

53) The Fallout by S.A. Bodeen - I read the first one so I thought I would keep going.
53) Fallout by S. A. Bodeen - This was the conclusion to Compound and it wasn't bad. It was predictable.
54) Thirty Three Teeth by Colin Cotterill - This is the 2nd book in the Dr. Siri Paiboun books. I really liked the first one and so I requested this one from the library. It was a lot of fun and not easy to figure out. I look forward to reading the next one in the series.
55) Dreams of Gods and Monsters by Laini Taylor - I am still trying to figure out how I feel about this one. It was a good ending to this series, but something just didn't sit right with me, though I don't know what it is. I'm still thinking on it.
56) Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson - I really liked this variation on the "Peter Pan" story. Tiger Lily was such an interesting character.
57) Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie - After I started reading "Tiger Lily", I thought I should read the original story. I really enjoyed it. I'm so glad I finally got around to reading it.
58) No Place Like Oz by Danielle Page - I was going to read "Dorothy Must Die", but then I saw there was this prequel, so I thought I would read it first. So far it's very interesting, but I am thinking I should probably read the original "Wizard of Oz" like I did "Peter Pan". I've only ever seen the movie. I'll have to see if I can find it.
59) The Wheel of Darkness by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child - This is the 8th book in the Agent Pendergast series. After I got over being disappointed that they changed the reader for the audiobook, the story is moving along quite well. I am about halfway through. I hope it will be another good one.
60) The Monuments Men by Robert M. Edsel - I saw the movie and really enjoyed it, so I thought I would listen to the book to see what got left out. I'm glad I read it though it was a little dry at times.
61) Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige - I really liked this one and I can't wait for the next one in the series.Unlucky 13 62) Unlucky by James Patterson - Not the best in the Women's Murder Club series. There were just way too many story lines going on.
Oz: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz 63) The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by Eric Shanower and Skottie Young - This was a re-read, but I thought it would be good after reading "Dorothy Must Die".
64) Doctor Sleep by Stephen King - I am so glad I finally got to read this sequel to "The Shining". It was a crazy wild ride, but well worth it. I have been in a reading slump lately. I only got through this one because it was on audio, but actual books, I have been struggling with for some reason. This is the worst slump I've been in in quite some time. Not reading feels weird, but at the same time I can't bring myself to crack open a book. Ugh! Hopefully my brain will work out whatever is going on soon.
65) Red Velvet Cupcake Murder by Joanne Fluke - I've been trying to jump start my reading brain. Not much was working so I went with something that would not only get my brain going on a reading front, but also on a baking front. This book was a fun quick read and there were plenty of recipes that I intend to try.
66) Robogenesis by Daniel H. Wilson - I haven't quite finished this one yet, but it is almost as good as the first one. I can't wait to see how it all ends.
67) Looking for Alaska by John Green - I have wanted to read this one for a long time, but the waiting list at the library was long. I really wanted to listen to it like I have all his other books, but that list was longer so, here goes. I just started this one, but so far it's good.
68) Wildwood by Colin Meloy - Searching through Overdrive for an audiobook to listen to and came across this one again and I thought I'd finally give it a listen finally.
69) The Brass Verdict by Michael Connelly - So glad I decided to find out what happened to Mickey Haller after "The Lincoln Lawyer".
70) Cemetery Dance by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child - Now on to see what's going on with Agent Pendergast and Lt. Vincent D'Agosta.
71) Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card - I saw the movie and decided I would really like to know more about the story. It was sooooooooo different from the movie and really good. Glad I finally read it. I'm on the waiting list to get the next one in the series.
72) The Cupcake Diaries: Sweet On You by Darlene Panzera - this was a novella I found for my Nook for like $1. I'm glad that's all I paid. The story could've been good, but it was seriously rushed and at many times, unrealistic. 
73) Landline by Rainbow Rowell - just got this one from the library today. Can't wait to get started. 
74) Takedown Twenty by Janet Evanovich - Just started this one today, but I am already a quarter of the way through. So far, it's the normal shenanigans of Stephanie and Lula, throw in a beloved Godfather no one wants her to bring in and a Giraffe on the loose in Trenton, NJ. Should be a fun read!!!!
75) Horns by Joe Hill - Loved this book. Joe Hill is definitely becoming a favorite author of mine. 
76) Fever Dream by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child - Still enjoying this series. I can't wait to get onto the next one. I really enjoyed learning more about Agent Pendergast and a bit of his past in this one.
77) Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls by David Sedaris. Just started this one and can't stop laughing.
78) 13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher - I listened to this book in a day. It was good. It certainly makes you think about the "what if's" and the what my Dad used to call the "Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda's". Life is full of decisions everyday and most of the time we only think about how our actions/decisions affect us and not those around us. 
79) If I Stay by Gayle Forman - just started this one. I hadn't heard of this book until the movie came out. The previews looked good, so I put the book on my "To Read" list and finally got it. Here goes...
80) Speaker for the Dead by Orson Scott Card
81) Attachments by Rainbow Rowell
82) Cold Vengeance by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child
83) The Best of Me by Nicholas Sparks
