Welcome to the group! Congratulations on hitting the 75 book point already.

I completely agree with you about it being impossible to read too much!

*sniffs* Many more of us would reach our goals sooner if we didn't spend so much time reading about each others' books.

Congratulations! There is no such thing as reading too much! Keep on reading!

*gasp* But if we didn't read spend so much time reading about each others books... just think how many books we may never hear about.

Oh yeah, almost forgot

wow, congrats on surpassing the 75 mark. I'm amazed at how many books people other than myself go through in a year. What did you think about Oyster Boy and Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang? Both are possibilities for me this year.

#9: Both were very good. Oyster boy took me about an hour to read... it was great. Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang was ambsolutley hysterical. If you havn't read her others (Are you There, Vodka? It's me Chelsea and My Horizontal Life), I think you should. I can't wait for her next book (I hope she has a next book).

105. If There Be Dragons by Kay Hooper
**Not that good, unless you like over sappy love stories (I don't).

106. The Doom Stone by Paul Zindel
**This was OK, a bit simplistic in it's conclusion though.

107. Dreadful Acts by Philip Ardagh
** Book 2 in a fun series

108. Winter Moon by Dean Koontz
** Hooked from the start. Creepy and atmospheric.

109. Live to Tell by Lisa Gardner
** Early Reviewer book - keeps you guessing and turning pages

110. Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney
** Now I know why these books are so popular!

I enjoy the Wimpy Kid books too. I think they are a hoot!

111. Jane Slayre by Sherri Browning Erwin
** I loved it! The perfect mix of supernatural mayhem and classic literature. It's just fun!!

112. The Night Tourist by Katherine Marsh
** An enjoyable romp through the New York underworld, including surprise visits from Cerberus!

113. Bones In the Belfry by Suzette Hill
** Another light and cozy episode with the cat, the dog and the vicar... partners in crime. (Hey Jess, I love this series! Thanks for bringing it to my attention. At last, something to tide me over while waiting for "that Raisin woman".)

114. Everything On a Waffle by Polly Horvath
** This is a very cute story about not losing hope... recipes included!

#15: Adding all of those to the BlackHole. Thanks for the recommendations!

#16: Hope you enjoy them... when you get the chance to fish them from the Black Hole (love the analogy, so apt).

The only one my local library had was Everything on a Waffle, so I picked it up today.

Let me know what you think :)

#15: Maybe someday I'll get to continue the Suzette Hill series. And maybe I'll get back to the amazing M.C. Beaton - I think I'll just have to make a point to read one of her books soon :-)

115. The 2000 Year Old Man in the Year 2000: The Book by Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner
** Funny! Very funny! But what do you expect with Mel Brooks?

116. Frindle by Andrew Clements
** I loved it! I wasn't expecting the ending.

117. Giants of Science: Sigmund Freud by Kathleen Krull

#21: I liked Frindle when I read it earlier in the year too. I am glad you enjoyed it!

118. The Night Lives On by Walter Lord
** oops, this was really #115, oh well. Great book for anyone fascinated by the Titanic tragedy.

119. Don't Stand Too Close to a Naked Man by Tim Allen
** Humorous look at the stereotypical man (but thankfully not descriptive of mine)!

120. The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan
** wonderfully written and often heartbreaking - a tale of survival and hope amidst a forest of "unconsecrated" (oh, all right - zombies).

121. Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules by Jeff Kinney

122. Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw by Jeff Kinney

123. Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days by Jeff Kinney

124. Lightning by Dean Koontz
** if you like a bit of sci-fi time-travel you'll like this, I did

125. Bone Idle by Suzette Hill
** I LOVE this series! Mystery and animal lovers, this is it!

126. A Fool in a Hurry Drinks Tea With a Fork by Norma Gleason
** an amusing collection of proverbs and colloquialisms from around the world

127. A Beautiful Mind by Sylvia Nasar
** I really enjoyed this. It may be too clinical and case study-like for many, though.

128. Stacked: A 32DDD Reports From the Front by Susan Seligson
** Every woman who has ever felt their boobs arrived ahead of them, or wished for bigger boobs... well every woman should read this! Well written with humor and warmth, this is an inside look at breast augmentation, reduction and how boobs generally rule our world. I loved it!

Lightning sounds interesting. I will have to look for that one. Thanks for the recommendation!
