November & December 2011

100. Important Artifacts and Personal Property from the Collection of Lenore Doolan and Harold Morris. Including Books, Street Fashion, And Jewelry. Saturday, 14 February 2009, New York by Leanne Shapton
This is amazing! The story of a whole relationship from meeting to break-up told in objects. Excellent experimental fiction.

101. Black Bird. Vol 8

102. Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs

103. Comfort Me With Apples: More Adventures at the Table by Ruth Reichl
Great writing, memoir with food. Excellent.

104. The Orphan Tales: In the Night Garden by Cathrynne Valente
Valente is amazing. This is a novel in the Arabian Night's style. Each piece is exquisite unto itself, I didn't even care when I sometimes lost the overall plot arch.

105. The Secret History by Donna Tartt
Very well written, a delightfully sinister novel set in a hyper exclusive college...

106. Tender at the Bone by Ruth Reichl

107. Brusel: Cities of the Fantastic by Schuiten & Peeters
Picked up for the fantastic art, plot was a bit odd...art was really amazing.

108. Habibi by Craig Thompson
Graphic Novel Genius in action, beautiful, tragic, ultimately inspiring.

109. Yotsuba&! Vol 10.

110. The Fire Rose by Mercedes Lackey (re)
Held up really well in re-reading. Beasty & the Beast with way more magic set... and fun historical details.
