66. Summer Friends by Holly Chamberlin. 3 stars. Chic Lit, beach read material. It was good but it did not completely captivate me and the main characters were a bit shallow.

You're getting close to your yearly goal, great job!
67. Inside the Third Reich by Albert Speer. Well written and interesting autobiography that gives insights to Hitler and German officials during WW2. Controversially received as he ignores the atrocities committed. 4 stars.
68. Echos of Thunder by Moe Assoum. 4 stars. Book 2 written by a colleague.
69. Burial Rites by Hannah Kent. Good historical novel that takes place in 1820's Iceland dealing with a murder. Well researched and intriguing. 4 stars.

I've owned this one for so long. I really need to read it. Along with the thousand others...lol.
It is good, slow paced but not boring at all.
Mod
Good to hear!
70. Ape House by Sara Gruen. 3 stars. Enjoyable read about some well loved apes and the struggle to get them back.
71. Amagansett by Mark Mills also knows as The Whaleboat House. A thoroughly engrossing murder mystery. 3 stars.
72. Accidental Family by Rowan Coleman. 3 stars. Funny and sweet.

I think I picked the first one up at a yard sale a few years ago. And another of hers, Another Mother's Life. Haven't read them yet!
73. Mission to Paris by Alan Furst. Good WW2 Era spy novel. 3 stars.
All right, Kelly! You're almost at this year's goal and you've had lots of good reads on the list :)
74. A Million Little Things by Susan Mallery. Another Mischief Bay book. Light, family drama read. 3 stars.
75. Secrets of Paris by Luanne Rice. 2 stars. I liked the setting in Paris but the story was a bit weak and the characters shallow and I didn't feel for them.
76. Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout. 3 stars. Unique telling of the story of Olive thru short stories that she shows up in, sometimes briefly and sometimes the entire time.
77. A Yorkshire Christmas by Kate Hewitt. 3 stars. A short and sweet Christmas novel to get one into the season a bit.

Waiting to hear some recommendations first. Wouldn't be opposed to checking it out.

I actually liked Olive, Again better than Olive Kitteridge though I disliked both. lol.
That's funny. I liked Olive K but it was a toss up at moments. I will wait to check out Olive, Again as I have plenty of others at the moment and it might just be too soon to deal with O again.
