Book 45 was Without a Net by Michelle Kennedy, which is a reread.

I'm behind, but I'm also in the middle of several books. :P

Book #45 was "The Brief, Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao" by Junot Diaz, as a book on CD. It had the same reader as the short story collection by the same author I listened to earlier this year, "Drown." A few minor characters from "Drown" show up in cameos in "Oscar" as well. The book is, ostensibly, about a science fiction and comic book nerd named ( Read more... )

Forever Free, Joe Haldeman. 274p. 1999, Ace/Berkley/Penguin Putnam.

Reading Time: November 20-26, work and car rides.

This was a direct sequel to The Forever War. It started out okay, if a little dull, and somewhere in the middle it felt like Joe lost his outline and forgot how he meant to end the story. I think I finished it because I kept ( Read more... )

Book 44 was Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling of course. :) It's a reread, but after seeing the first part of the seventh book as a film, I decided to read the seventh book again ( Read more... )

Book 42 was Where the Heart Is, which I loved, as it's also a movie I love (didn't realize it was based on a novel until I ran across the novel ( Read more... )

I'm feeling a little behind. I was aiming to get to 52 books this year, and I'm only on track to squeak by with 50. But, there are still 2 months, so we'll see!

Book #41 and 42 were both books on CD. I have been reading print books, but they're going slowly.

Book #41 was "A Fistful of Charms" by Kim Harrison, the 4th in "The Hollows" series of urban ( Read more... )

I think now I've read all of Pearl Cleage's novels, though she's written at least two nonfiction books and at least two plays which I've never read ( Read more... )

My 40th book was in German, and I'm sooooo proud of myself ( Read more... )

None of Pearl Cleage's books have hit me as hard as I Wish I Had a Red Dress, except maybe What Looks Like Crazy on an Ordinary Day, but I am reading the rest of her stuff because I do like it all.

Book 39 was Babylon Sisters, which was good, though not great. But I will say that her writing itself is great, and I love her characters. :)
