Like the previous post, this isn't in order, because I lost track of what order I read all these books.
80. Do-It-Yourself Magic by Ruth Chew (128)
81. The Magic Coin by Ruth Chew (128)
82. Earthstar Magic by Ruth Chew (128)
These are some old YA books that I loved as a kid. They're still fun little books.
83. The Morning Star by Nick Bantock (56)
Book 5, I think, in the Griffin and Sabine series. The first three books are the best, but the others appear to be growing on me a little. These books are actual postcards and letters - envelopes and all - with beautiful drawings and paintings on them.
84. Old Man's War by John Scalzi (313)
The first book in a trilogy. It's set in a future time, and all elderly people on Earth are given the option of joining the CDF (Colonial Defense Forces) when they turn 75. If you do it, you are taken off Earth and - on Earth, at least - declared legally dead. Nobody on Earth knows exactly what happens next...except that they somehow make you young again, to fight in the war.
I've been busy getting read to move and then moving over the past month. I was going to wait until I had time to write something about all of these to post it, but I'm just getting further and further behind, so I won't bother. Suffice to say I like all these books. Scott Westerfeld is a new favorite author.
85. The Fuzzy Papers by H. Beam Piper (407)
86. *Midnighters 1: The Secret Hour by Scott Westerfeld (383)
87. *Midnighters 2: Touching Darkness by Scott Westerfeld (439)
88. *Midnighters 3: Blue Noon by Scott Westerfeld (505)
89. *Peeps by Scott Westerfeld (312)
90. *The Last Days by Scott Westerfeld (304)
91. *His Majesty's Dragon by Naomi Novik (353)
92. *The Throne of Jade by Naomi Novik (398)
93. Alanna: The First Adventure by Tamora Pierce (231)
94. A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett (249)
95. The Ghost Brigades by John Scalzi (317)
96. Sunshine by Robin McKinley (389)
97. Rose Daughter by Robin McKinley (292)
Well...I didn't like this much better than the last time I read it. This has got to be my least favorite of all of McKinley's books. It just doesn't quite fit together; either there are a lot of ideas sort of smushed together to make this book or there was some overzealous editing.
98. Crystal Line by Anne McCaffrey (313)
Brain candy. I'm not a huge fan of McCaffrey's style but somehow these bother me less than the Pern books.
99. *Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J. K. Rowlings (784)
Hm. This one gets a resounding 'eh'. The writing is improved over the previous book, there were a few laugh-out-loud moments, but overall it was mediocre and predictable.
100. The Blue Sword by Robin McKinley (248)
An old favorite.
100 / 100 books (100.0%)
47 / 50 *new books (94.0%)
32,092 / 30,000 pages (107.0%)
