The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern is getting so much attention! I got a little card at Starbucks that says it a free e-read d/l so I'll have to check it out.

Andrea - I looked at that card at Starbucks. I think it might be an excerpt but it will likely tempt you to read the whole book if it is.

#64 - Dear Mr. Holmes: Seven Holmes on the Range Mysteries by Steve Hockensmith

A thoroughly fun collection of short stories. A pair of brothers in The American West of the 1880's read and get inspired by Sherlock Holmes stories. Their adventures in 'deducifying' are just a lot of fun to read.

#70 - Scar Tissue: Seven Stories of Love and Wounds by Marcus Sakey


This collection of seven stories was varied and interesting. I enjoyed the background to each story that Sakey included. I definitely recommend this to readers who are already his fans as well as folks who haven’t read his book yet. For that second group, the collection includes excerpts from several of his novels.

I know the feeling!

Sooo close!

[Suziqoregon]

I haven't posted all my books for the year yet because I don't post them here until I've done my blog posts.

I've got a few to catch up on but when I finish my current book today I'll end the year with 80 books.

I'll add the official posts for these soon and then close out 2011
The Five Dysfunctions of a Team: A Leadership Fable
A Christmas Carol
A Trick of the Light
Poachers
Hostage Zero (Jonathan Grave, #2)
1222

It's been another fun year. Looking forward to 2012

Congrats of finishing!! =)

Yay, Suzi! I'm so glad you finished and you are joining us again in 2012 :)
