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.

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.
