#80 "Death Comes to Pemberley" by P.D. James
I really should avoid this whole reading unofficial sequels to books I really enjoy. I liked the book better than the series, but still, Jane Austen should be left to Jane Austen... and Hank Green.

#77 "The Slippery Slope" by Lemony Snicket
I do think this was possibly the worst of the series... or was it anything after book 3? But if you want to get to the end, you have to read them all.

#76 "The 10pm Question" by Kate DeGoldi
This novel is a classic coming of age story wrapped up in psychological problems. It took me a while to get into it, but about 7 chapters in I found a reason to invest in all the characters and I finished it in that sitting. Worthwhile for mid-to-late teens who have experienced mental issues.

#75 "Must Love Dogs" by Claire Cook
I somehow keep forgetting that I've read this book and then re-reading it, but enjoying it so much more than the movie (which is quite the statement when you consider that Diane Lane is a favorite actress of mine), so much so that I don't stop. I think I'm up to three times now... or is it four? I know it's not serious literature, and a part of me is a little judgmental that I've read it more than once, but the rest of me is too busy enjoying the fluff.

#74 "The Carnivorous Carnival" by Lemony Snicket
Not the best from the series, but I'm pushing through. I will finish these books, if it's the last full series I ever read.
