The saga of the bloody booklog

( 81. Drood — Dan Simmons )

Run! Save yourselves!

---

( 82. The Girl Who Played With Fire — Stieg Larsson )

I don’t want this story to end.

---

( 83. The Walls of the Universe — Paul Melko )

one neat paragraph hardly makes the whole boring book worth reading.

---

( 84., 85., 87. & 90. The Saga of the Bloody Benders, The Beast of Chicago, A Treasury of Victorian Murder & The Case of Madeleine Smith — Rick Geary )

Wait till you get to the part about the greasy, stained curtain.

---

( 86. The Actor and the Housewife — Shannon Hale )

I would really like to read more of Hale’s work. But based on other factors—yes, My Thoughts On Mormonism, Let Me Show You Them—I’m not sure I will, or should. And that makes me sad.

---

( 88. Therefore, Repent! — Jim Munroe )

I enjoyed this.

---

( 89. Maps and Legends — Michael Chabon )

this book encouraged me to track down the D’Aulaires’ Book of Norse Myths, for which I am grateful. So that’s nice.

How not to write a booklog

More reviews, written by 200%drunker!Trin. This may be accidentally amusing.

( 91. How Not to Write a Novel — Howard Mittelmark & Sandra Newman )

this book is good for a laugh.

---

( 92. The Family Man — Elinor Lipman )

What the hell happened?

---

( 93. Summer Blonde — Adrian Tomine )

Impressive.

---

( 94. Good Omens — Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett )

Eric Kripke so owes you a fruit basket.

---

( 95. The Housekeeper and the Professor — Yoko Ogawa )

I hope more of Ogawa's books are translated into English soon!

---

( 96. Tales From Outer Suburbia — Shaun Tan )

this unique book opens up a whole universe to get lost in—as well as new ways of looking at our own.

---

( 97. Good-Bye, Chunky Rice — Craig Thompson )

cute, quirky (possibly too quirky), somewhat melancholy, and not all that memorable. Oh well.

---

( 98. City of Thieves — David Benioff )

I nevertheless had a blast reading this—as I expect anyone would.

---

( 99. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society — Mary Ann Shaffer & Annie Barrows )

Unlike a lot of the bestsellers I read just because all my customers are asking about them, I was truly glad I read this one, and that says a lot.

---

( 100. Hellblazer: Dangerous Habits — Garth Ennis )

Too bad the art's so bloody ugly, though.
