Sorry for the serious backlog...
118. Fortune's Fool by Mercedes Lackey
119.Marie Antionette: A Journey by Antonia Fraser (very academic, nothing like the movie theoretically based on it)
120. The Meaning of Night by Micheal Fraser (this is one of those books that I can't believe I'd never heard of. amazing. high temptation to send to everyone I know who can appriciate the darker side of Victoriana.
121. The Sharper Your Knife the Less You Cry by Kathleen Flinn (all the life lessons you'd never expect from learning to cook at the Cordon Bleu, interesting cooking stories too. I can't cook and barely care to and it was still lovely.)
122. Autobiography of a Wardrobe by Elizabeth Kendall
123. The Others: A Science Fiction Novel by Margaret Wander Bonanno
124.Uglies by Scott Westerfeld
125. Pretties by Scott Westerfeld (As with "So Yesterday" these could have been better written,but the plot is intriguing enough to wade on while you're waiting for the hold you really really want to come in. [In the case of So Yeasterday (2005) it was done much better by Alex Shakar in The Savage Girl (2001), but I digress, and am abusing the parenteses & brackets.])
126. The Host by Stephenie Meyer (strange & intoxicating)
127. Beach Stones by Josie Iselin & Margaret Carruthers (gorgeous)
128. Japanese School Girl Inferno by Patrick Macias & Izumi Evers (run away.)
129. Banksy:Wall & Piece (more fun than is strickly on the up & up. Go look at his site if you can't get to his walls, or book.)
130. Seashells by Josie Iselin & Sandy Carlson (nice, not as awesome as beach stones)
131. Even Cowgirls Get The Blues by Tom Robbins (re. to believe in a wonderful, random world, for all the cowgirls and other girls)
132. Fly by Night by Frances Hardinge (gift from S.T. thankyouthankyouthankyou. a wild adventure in a world that might have been ours. One of the most imprssive new books in Juv. Lit.)
133. The Shadow of the Giant by Orson Scott Card (a little too political for my taste)
134. Necklace of Kisses by Francesca Lia Block (re)
135. The Privilage of the Sword by Ellen Kushner (re. Sword fighting for girls, see also The Hero & The Crown.)
136. The Goddess Guide by Gisele Scanlon (I'd been hoping this was going to be a bit more practical that it was. 3/4th was how to spend your money if you have too much.
137. Orphans of Chaos by John C. Wright (re. I'm sort of amazed that this was a fantasy trilogy that never really gained the popularity I'd have wished for it. I'm extremely impressed with how well thought out the power workings of this fantsy/sci-fi were. I don't know anyone else who has even seem to have heard of it let alone read it. I do suppose that one of this trilogy's downfalls is that the singular novels are unsatisfying to read if you can't start right in on the next one. If I'd been reading them as they came out I might well have forgotten why I cared by the time the second one came out. Have no fear, all three are out now, and there is no hold list.)
138. Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer ( 4th in the Twilight Saga. If you can get through the first half, the second will be everything you were hoping for.)
139. The Principles of Uncertainty by Maira Kalman (A sweetly wandering visual journal)
119.Marie Antionette: A Journey by Antonia Fraser (very academic, nothing like the movie theoretically based on it)
