(Insane story, true story! A little bit more technical than I liked, but I'm glad I read it.)
22. What Was She Thinking? Notes on a Scandel by Zoe Heller
Bit of a lackluster ending.

32. Fly Away Home by Jennifer Weiner
33. Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffeneger
34. Maid to Match by Deanne Gist
35. Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney (Hilarious book, great conversation topic in the break room. Many parents had read this book.)
36. The Story of a Marriage by Andrew Sean Greer (Really loved his book Max Tivoli but this was disappointing.)
37. UnCharted TerriTori by Tori Spelling
38. Honolulu by Alan Brennert I liked this book, but it was a little long winded.
39. Size 12 is Not Fat by Meg Cabot (Was soo disappointed in this book. I really loved Cabot's Queen of Babble series, but this start of Heather Well's series was horrible. I really wanted to stop reading but I felt I should try it out because it was a fast read. I will not be reading any more of this series.)
40. The Year of the Fog by Michelle Richmond (This book was recommended to me by a friend who said if I like Jodi Picoult I would like this author. Wow, this book was intense. It made me think what if my child went missing. I'm now doing "Stranger Danger" talks with my daughter because of this book. I admit, I had to skip to the end to see what happens but all in all it was a great book. I really liked that they talked about a place I've been down to the bridge I've taken a picture with. I don't want to give too much away but it was really great to feel a connection landmark/wise with the book.)
41. I Did (But I Wouldn't Again) by Cara Lockwood (I read her book I Do (But I Don't) a long time ago and that book was about the sister. Anyways, back to I Did. It's a funny chick-lit novel. I enjoyed the quirkiness of the characters. A light read that was enjoyed.

Next Up: Mini-Shopoholic by Sophie Kinsella

Currently listening on CD: Bee Season by Myla Goldberg. Almost finished with that book, will be listening to Cold Mountain next. I saw the movie a long time ago but haven't read the book.
