152. The Looking Glass Wars by Frank Beddor (I kept expecting this to get better & ended up finishing it. Can't imagine bothering with the sequel.)

153. The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery. (I finished this and immediately started it again. I'm in love with this book. I'd like to send a bouquet of sunrise-colored roses to Madame Barbery and her two unlikely heroines.)

154. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins (Massive, massive kudos to A.R. for convincing me to try this book even though it didn't seem like my thing. I'm on tenderhooks for the sequel.

155. Juxtapoz Illustration (there will be at least one artist in this book to amaze you, though there will also probably at least one gross out.) J'aime KozyNDan. (I don't bother to make a link unless it's awesome. Hint, hint.)

156. Rose is Rose: In Living Color by Pat Brady

157. Open Letter to a Quiet Night by Francesca Lia Block (I would send roses to Francesca too. Daily.)

158. Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day by Winifred Watson (Interesting as a study of the time and thought process thereof in a way that the movie is not. I love the movie.)
