64. Prince of Tennis, Volume 3 by Takeshi Konomi
Not much to say about these. I've actually read some of these before, but I'm counting them as new, because I don't remember anything from them and I'm reading someone's translation, not official copies you get from the library/bookstore. I like these because they don't censor the language and the mistakes (as in typos, though they are rare) are amusing. Overall, these books are extremely cute and lots of fun to read. I plan to read all of them eventually.
65. InterWorld by Neil Gaiman
I can definitely see why people weren't really too thrilled about this book. It's a little simplistic, but I feel that's the point. Anything more complicated and it would end up in adult fiction and probably be much longer. The plot is decent enough, the story telling is quite good, as is the premise. The one thing that really bugged me is how the book just sort of ended. I liked the ending and what happens to Joey and I like the other characters, but it felt a little forced. Overall a good book, especially for a kid who isn't quite ready for more difficult SF.
66. M Is for Magic by Neil Gaiman
This was a nice short collection of short stories. The introduction, written by Gaiman himself, is quite good as well. In fact, if you're planning to read the book, I recommend reading the introduction first. I enjoyed, to some degree, all the stores, but my favorites were Troll Bridge, Chivalry, How to Talk to Girls at Parties, and Sunbird. I liked The Witch's Headstone, but it felt incomplete. Great introduction to fantasy for kids who aren't ready for novel-length stories just yet.
