58- Coming Up For Air- Patti Callahan Henry ( don’t remember it right now, doesn’t mean it wasn’t good, just that I’d have to google the cover to remember it! )

59- The Guilty Plea- Robert Rotenberg ( good, fast paced, the cover art was kind of gross, had to leave the book on the backside so I didn’t have to look at it. )

60- Pretty Little Mistakes- Heather McElhatten ( a choose your own ending story, absolutley no depth at all, but not bad, interesting concept.only had it for two weeks from the library, you could possibly never finish this book )

29- Attachments- Rainbow Rowell (cute, can see it as a movie, probably on tv )

16- Sweet Valley Confidental- Francine Pascal ( that’s right, I read it. I admitt it. Kind of horrible. I grew up with Sweet Valley High. )

17- The Darlings are Forever- Melissa Kantor ( young adult, pretty good in that teenage girl angsty way )

18- It’s Not Summer Without You- Jenny Han ( also young adult, also pretty good. I read ya to get me out of reading slumps )

19- The Dewey Decimal System Of Love- Josephine Carr ( ok )

20- Cleaning Nabokov’s House- Leslie Daniels ( pretty good )

21- Family Affair- Debbie Macomber ( really, really fluffy. Can read in an hour or less, but not horrible )

And so far for May

22- The Art of Racing in the Rain- Garth Stein ( who would have thought a book written in the point of view of a dog would be so good? I stayed up way too late to finish it in one day, and the end made me cry. )

12- Devil’s Food Cake Murder- Joanne Fluke

13- The Highly Effective Detective Crosses the Line- Richard Yancey ( love these books, and they’re not the same old same old either. )
