Book Ninety

Day Three Hundred Forty Five
Jay-Z "Decoded"
308 pages

Today is my 30th birthday. It is also 20 days until I have been working on this project for a year. I was hoping to get to 100 books in the first year. I won't make it but I'll get pretty close. I've been wanting to read this for a while. I've heard good things... even Oprah liked it!

Ahh... loved it! It was hysterically laugh out loud funny. The love triangle issue plays out really well in this book and the ending was just as it should have been. Cannot wait for the next one later this year!

Janet Evanovich "Smokin' Seventeen"

I cannot believe there have been 17 Stephanie Plum books. She's like an old friend I get to visit once a year. I've missed her. If you haven't read this series hurry up and start. Quickly because once the movie comes out I'm afraid its going to turn everyone away...

This is a good author. She always delivers. Lisa read it first and said it was great and now I can't wait to dive in!

Book Eighty Seven Done

Day Three Hundred Thirty
Dean Koontz "A Big Little Life"
271 pages

I knew it. I love reading books about dogs but the inevitable end is so hard. This book was harder than most because he's such a good writer. He brought you right into the head of a dog. He also brought you with him when it was time to say goodbye. I've been there and I try not to focus on it but he transported me right to that room. Overall a really good book. Just make sure your tissues aren't far.

My sister sent me an email telling me to read this book. I have a feeling this one is going to make me cry!

Book Eighty Six Done

Day Three Hundred Twenty Four
Kat Von D "The Tattoo Chronicles"
235 pages

Wow this was really interesting. She keeps a journal and published her journal along with pictures of the tattoos she is discussing in the journal. Its uncomfortable to read because she starts out so happy with Nikki Sixx and you watch the relationship unravel through the pages.
