100 Books + in 2010 discussion

This is my 2010 reading list...hoping for 100

K is for Killer
This is the best one in the series that I have read so far

The Deadhouse

Lethal Legacy: A Novel
Couldn't wait to get home and read more every day

Killer Heat

Finger Lickin' Fifteen
Janet can do no wrong in my book

Entombed
Made me pick up some old Edgar Allen Poe poems and re-read them.

Bad Blood: A Novel
took me a little longer than usual to get in to, but then I couldnt put it down. damn! linda fairstein is a good writer.

disappointing ending..old character gone, new ones not a good backfill.

not the best one of her novels, it was great until the end which was really unbelievable...the killer had 8 million hours to kill Alex and never gets around to it? give me a break!

Jen Lancaster is now my best friend in my head.And i found myself drinking a lot of wine along with her while reading.

Oh brain candy, how I love you.

The Kills
Good read, always enjoy the history lessons

I dont think its a ringing endorsment when I wanted the herione to get taken out by the bad guys...
The Illuminator
it was OK. I am not a huge fan of historical novels, mostly I just finished because I got half way in and I need to keep on pace for 2010

I have yet to be disappointed in one of her books, always a good read

I am so furious at this book (unreasonable- yes, I know). I was 400 pages into the book before the plot actually came to light and it was a plot line redux from 10 YEARS AGO!!!!!! 10 YEARS AGO!!!!!!!!!!!! give me a break!!!!!!!! oooh, I am so mad. no more patricia cornwell.

great way to ignore my children while we were all trapped inside during a blizzard. I hardly even heard their cries for food and water I was so absorbed in this book.

I actually laughed out loud several times while reading this book. Jen Lancaster, new best friend in my head...

this is one of the few thrillers that actually stayed with me and made me have a few nightmares last night. Also, I read it all in one day, couldn't put it down.

Not as great as the title would lead you to believe. Also, this book is probably better for wimpy guys than for kick ass chicks.

damn! never start a tess gerritsen book at 8 pm. I was up all night, i couldnt put it down!!

very different books- same lesson- women doctors shouldn't piss off crazy male med students

Good book as always, but The Scarecrow was so good that this one felt a little flat by comparison. And almost every character made an appearance, it was like a homecoming...just needed Kiz, keisha and rachel and the whole gang would have been in the story.

Its amazing how good Robert Parker was- I started this and didnt stop till it was done. Every story he writes just sucks you in instantly

Always cute and funny, Janet is never a disppointment

took a while for all the fragmented stories to come together, but once they did i couldn't put this down

Great book, cements my love for all things jen lancaster. I just wish I'd read the books in order now. Oh well.

Really interesting look at how what and when and where and who affects your entire life. Makes me wonder if I were born at a different time what I would be doing now...

Ok, I realize its not pulitzer worthy, but she tells a damn funny story and I need some brain candy if I am going to keep on pace.

again, not a deep and moving book. Listen people, I had a lot of stuff to get done this week but needed to keep on pace. don't judge.

I am so sad, this caught me up with all Jen Lancaster books until my library can get me a copy of my fair lazy

really interesting ideas about making things into an epidemic (for better or worse).

As usual, an awesome and interesting read. sadly i only have 1 more book until I am all caught up on linda Fairstein.

Halfway through the end was obvious but I didnt really care about the characters enough to keep going...except I want to get to 100 books. This is my first nevada Barr book, I like her writing style so i will try more

Fantastic book- halfway through had a big DUN-NUH moment, full of surprises and introspection. 5 stars

Great memoir about a woman who goes home after her husband leaves her. Starts out funny but turns very inisghtful

first alex cooper book. kind of guessed the ending early, but still a good read. series got better as it went on.

damn! Robert B Parker has written a million books, and every one is as good as the last. I am so sad he is gone, one of my favorite writers

- Great book as always, Harry Bosch on the trail of crooked cops and mexican drug lords.
- Funny, easy summer read

Meh. Myron Bolitar goes searching for the murderer of a famous tennis player that was trying to make a comeback. Hard to get in to, nothing special.

- Every Spenser novel is as interesting as the last. This time he was chasing chinese tongs and a crazy stalker.
- First time I have read a book by Coben, but I couldn't put it down so I will definitely have to search for more of his work.

so cheesy, it makes my brain hurt...but in a good summertime read kind of way

what a piece of crap. why do people recommend iris johganssen? this book was god awful. I may give her 1 more chance in case this was a fluke, but that is it.

Now this on the other hand was a fantastic book! I couldn't wait to get chances to read more. Its about rapid cognition and how your brain works without you knowing it. awesome book!

allright, I gave iris johanseen one more chance. this was waaaay bteer than the other one I read, but not good enough to keep me coming back. And I truly despise when authors have their bad guys describe the herione as "the bitch". its pretty lame and totally unoriginal.

#54 A husband has to chase down the clues of his wife's murder as ghosts from his past come out of thew woodwork


#55 A british spy realizes something is wrong in his agency and they turn on him as he gets close

#56 a man finds out his brother that was on the lam after murdering a nieghbor is really alive


#57 Alex is on the hunt for a human trafficking ring

#58 Jen Lancaster's memoir about getting over her mentally lazy, reality TV loving, uncultured life.

# 59 Maura Isles ends up accidentally coming upon a secret Mormon vilage where all the residents mysteriously disappeared.

#60 All about neighbor drama, families spying on each other and a crazy killer on the loose. Not as good as his other novels, but still a quick read.


#61 First Myron Bolitar novel I havent been able to put down- while helping an old girlfriend, Myrin finds a terrorist group adopting blond hair blue eyed embryos to give birth to and raise as "unecxpected" terrorists

#62 nanobots are on the loose and taking over. But i had to wonder, why not just use some bleach to kill e.coli?


#63 I love, love, love Lisa Lampanelli. I think this is probably best as an audio book because I could half hear her talking while I read and half the voice in my head and some of the humor is lost when its me and not lisa. does that make sense?

#65 Asad Khalil is back to finish his incomplete mission from The Lions Den. He wants to kill John Corey- but I think not! John Corey kicks ass!!!


#69 Katniss and Peeta compete in the Hunger Games, put on by the Capitol to keep people from the surrounding districts in place. Great read, but a little too exciting in parts. Had to read quick, I was holding my breath.


#64 Great descriptions of a remote island in lake superior and a research team studying wolves. The mystery that takes place had a great what, why, how and where but totally fell apart when it came to the final who. grrrr!!!

#67 This book was funny, sweet and sad- its the story of a dog and his owner told from the dog's point of view. The dog Enzo is convinced when he dies he will come back as a person and considers himself mostly human except for his lack of opposable thumbs...and his arch nemisis the stuffed zebra. Dont be fooled though, this book is heart wrenchingly sad at the end, but I still love it.


#66 This is a pretty self indulgent book. Its a memoir from a woman who travels to italy, india and indonesia after a nasty divorce and heart breaking break up with her boyfriend. Elizabeth Gilbert is a really good writer, and that is the only thing that got me to finish this book because I was getting really annoyed with her self centeredness. I can sum up the whole book for you- me, me, me, me, me..eat some good food..me, me,me,me,..pray in a cave at an Ashram...me, me,me,me...meet some hot brazilian guy and fall in love....me, me, me,me...

#68 Cute book, pretty funny- story of a woman trying to figure out why her boyfriend went from totally being in to her to suddenly leaving her without any reason or even an offical goodbye. Turns out, guys can be jerks. who knew??

#70 even better than the hunger games, this time katniss and peeta are starting a revolt against the capitol and get sent back to the hunger games as punishment.
I couldn't put it down, had to pre-order mockingjay because I am so caught up in this story

#72 A man searches for his daughter who went missing after he and his wife were both shot by an intruder. I think I have read to omany Harlan Coben books, I could guess the twist at the end about halfway through.


#73 A man disappears after seeing a photo someone slipped into his wife's photomart order. A lot of the loose ends that were tied up at the end were very unsatisfying.

#74 Stephanie has to convince a mobster to lay off Vinnies gambling debts. Started out slow, but ended up pretty funny


#75 Final book in the Hunger Gmes series does not disappoint. Katniss is the new face of the rebels, the "mockingjay" and she has to balance fighting the capitol and being used by the President of District 13 who is too hungry for power.

#71 Typical Womens Murder Club brain candy. The very end of the book was a cheap and useless plot "twist" that wasn't really a tiwst. And, i can't believe I am going to say this, but it actually cheapened a James patterson novel and that my friends is scraping the bottom of the pickle barrel.


#76 Picked this book up because the front cover had recommendation blurbs from two of my favorite authors. Once the book picked up it was actually a good read, but that was...oh...maybe a quarter to a third of the way through the book. Which to me doesnt live up to the hype.

#77 Kinsey earches for a "psuedocide" who suddenly pops up in Mexico after his wife collects the life insurance money.Solid as usual, with a really good twist at the end.


#78 Tempe is trying to figure out a man who died in Vietnam is suddenly showing up dead in Quebec. the trail leads to hawaii where anothe r body turns up and Tempe gets drawn into a local murder.

#79 Alex Cross hunts down a coven of vampires, and tries to evade the mastermind. I forgot how much I enjoyed james patterson novels before he began just phoning them in.

#80 Very dry read on its own- BUT when coupled with CMMI training it is fasinating!


#81 surprisingly charming for a murder mystery about a forensic anthropologist. go figure? I will definitely read more Jefferson Bass novels, this was my first.
