My goal this year is actually 110, although at the rate I was at last year, I suspect I will hit the 130s.

100. Regenesis by C.J. Cherryh
Having reached 100, I thought I would take a moment to comment on a few things.This year I plan to re-read all the CJ Cherryh books I have read before. I am really enjoying this.
In Watermelon Sugar (#6), How to Raise Your I.Q. by Eating Gifted Children (#11), and The Little Black Fish (#37) were the most personally disappointing books this year. There were others I really did not care for, but these three were ones I expected to enjoy and thoroughly DID NOT. I will qualify that by saying The Little Black Fish turned out to be a hacked up version of the true story (which I found online and did enjoy).
And now....
