Valerie your list is awesome!
Thanks, Cindy and Shelby! I've had a fun summer of reading and I just hope I can keep it up!
Great books! Are you going to finish the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon?
I will definitely finish the Outlander series- Jamie and Claire are too addictive not to! I heard the 4th is one of the best so I'm looking forward to it.
Woot Valerie! Are you going to read the sequel to Dragon Tattoo?
Tanja wrote: "Woot Valerie! Are you going to read the sequel to Dragon Tattoo?"Yes! I really liked Lisbeth's character and I can't wait to see what happens next. I've heard good things about it so I think I'll get my hands on this one sooner rather than later.
65. The Shining - Stephen KingVery spooky! I would not recommend reading this alone at night, or even the day for that matter.
66. The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane - Katherine Howe
67. Dead and Gone - Charlaine Harris
I can't wait for the next one in the series.
68. The Angel's Game - Carlos Ruiz ZafonI really liked this one although not as much as The Shadow of the Wind.
What did you think of The Opposite of Love?? I just added it to my PBS list not too long ago!
Cindy wrote: "What did you think of The Opposite of Love?? I just added it to my PBS list not too long ago!"I really enjoyed it. It started a little slow but by the end I was in love. I'd highly recommend it!
69. Catching Fire - Suzanne CollinsReally loved this one!
70. Something Blue - Emily Giffin
71. Tara Road - Maeve Binchy
It took me a while to get through it but at the end, I was glad I read it.
I just put Catching Fire on hold at the library. :) I'm 9th in line for it, though. :( You're almost to your goal! I'm sure you'll make it.

It's a quick read, so hopefully you get it soon!
72. Firefly Lane - Kristin HannahThis one took me by surprise; I didn't expect to like it as much as I did. Nor did I expect to cry at the end. Loved it!
73. The Joy Luck Club - Amy Tan
Another one that I really loved. Thought it was beautiful and moving.
Firefly Lane is one of my favorite books!
Firefly Lane is one of my favorite books, too!
I am finally getting back to normal after moving recently to Virginia near DC and I am excited to be able to have some more time for reading again. Here's what I was able to read right before and during our move:74.Bloodsucking Fiends - Christopher Moore
Funny but i wanted it to be funnier.
75.The Bright Forever A Novel - Lee Martin
76.Wizard's First Rule - Terry Goodkind
I don't usually read fantasy books but gave this a try and ended up pleasantly surprised.
77.Twenties Girl A Novel - Sophie Kinsella
I think Kinsella's book are always great for a quick, fun read and this didn't disappoint.
78.The Thief - Megan Whalen Turner
I really loved the main character in this book.
79.The Divorce Party A Novel - Laura Dave
80.Daughter of the Forest - Juliet Marillier
An easy 5 star read- loved it!
Now I'm off to read some more while the hubby is watching sports!
Daughter of the Forest is GOOD :) Have it on my bookshelf :)
I've had that one on my TBR list for too long! Will have to move it up on my list!
You won't regret it! It was sooooo good!
81. Masquerade - Melissa de la Cruz82. Revelations - Melissa de la Cruz
What can I say, I'm a sucker for vampire books. These aren't the greatest in the world but at least they're quick reads.
83. Life As We Knew It - Susan Beth Pfeffer
This book made me want to get an emergency plan together for my family in case a natural disaster ever affected us.
84. Intertwined - Gena Showalter
85. The Queen of Attolia - Megan Whalen Turner
86. Drums of Autumn - Diana GabaldonThere's just something about this series that gets me hook, line and sinker. Wishing my husband had a Scottish accent now. :)
87. The Girl Who Played with Fire - Steig LarssonThis one was hard to put down! A really good follow-up to the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
88. Leviathan - Scott Westerfeld
I really liked the illustrations in the this book. And the story was excellent as well. :)
Glad to see you enjoyed The Girl Who Played With Fire! I still have to read the first one!
89. Graceling - Kristin CashoreThis was a fun read and I enjoyed it a lot.
90. The Van Alen Legacy - Melissa de la Cruz
This was a waste of time, in my opinion.
91. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society - Mary Ann Shaffer
I really loved this one from the moment I started it. It was such an enchanting story!
Almost there Valerie!! 9 more to go!! Are you going to make it for the year?I'm glad you enjoyed Guernsey! I was surprised at how much I liked the book. I do like how it was structured in letter format.
I have Graceling on my TBR. Been hearing good things about it!
92. If I Stay - Gayle FormanI got quite weepy through this one. I'd definitely recommend it.
93. A Touch of Dead - Charlaine Harris
Fun but I'm glad I didn't shell out money for this book.
94. The Lace Makers of Glenmara - Heather Barbieri
95. Ice- Sarah Beth Durst
Slightly odd and I didn't connect with this one.
96. Moonlight - Rachel Hawthorne
Meh. This was a waste of time.
97. Hush, Hush - Becca Fitzpatrick
I've seen a lot of hype around this book and I liked it but it didn't blow my socks off.
98. Fade - Lisa McMann
A really fresh YA series- no vampires, werewolves or fairies involved!
99. Shadowland - Alyson Noel
100. Son of the Shadows- Juliet Marillier
A great follow-up to Daughter of the Forest! Really enjoyed it.
I just barely made my goal of 100 with about a day to spare! Phew! Now I'm ready to begin the new year and find some great new books.

I really fell in love with the characters in Guernsey- I wish they were real!
Graceling was really interesting and I plan on picking up her other book, Fire, soon.
Here's the hoping that the New Year brings you lots of great reads!
And you, too! I like snooping off your 100 book reads. It gives me ideas for future reads!And I concur about Guernsey. I wish I could find such a community :)
