40. Tales of the Red Panda: The Mind Master by Gregg Taylor

41. Tales of the Red Panda: The Android Assassins by Gregg Taylor
Red Panda is good in any form, and Gregg has gotten really good at writing him in both the radio drama format and the pulp novel format. This format is what makes me *love* the man, because we get to see behind the curtain ( Read more... )

39. On Hallowed Ground: The Story of Arlington National Cemetery by Robert M. Poole
Unabridged AudiobookI loved this book. It was a combination history lesson/storybook. It was a collection of traditions. It incorporated actual recordings of people who were quoted in the book, instead of just reading the quotes. And there is a recording of Taps ( Read more... )

38. Noughts and Crosses by Malorie Blackman
I wanted this book to be so good. I really did. The premise is GREAT! Alas,(  Meh. )

35. Fire by Kristin CashoreOMG AMAZING. I am so in love with this book I want to curl up inside the world Cashore built and be happy. Even though the whole book isn't happy. But it is beautiful, showing so many of the strengths and the weaknesses of being human and dealing with other people without hitting you over the head with it in an angsty, ( Read more... )

31. Coyote Blue by Christopher Moore
Unabridged Audiobook

I actually started listening to this a while ago...then...stopped. Decided to jump back in (thank you iPod for saving my place) after finishing Waiter Rant because I was driving back and forth between the two apartments so much during the move. This was pretty enjoyable, although I find ( Read more... )

30. Waiter Rant by Steve Dublanica
Unabridged Audibook
As someone who used to regularly read the then anonymous blog of Steve Dublanica, I felt like the first third of this book was a poor rehashing of anecdotes I had already read at that blog. It made working in the service industy a little bit more bearable, knowing that customers were stupid, ( Read more... )

28. Black Orchids by Rex StoutThe first Nero Wolfe book I've ever read. My grandfather had a pretty wicked collection, and my mom sort of inherited it. It was good, if simple, but kept inducing sleep (granted, I was reading before bed, so I don't blame it too much). I could probably read another. I should maybe move on to the box of my own books I ( Read more... )

27. The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest by Stieg LarssonSo, book 3 should really be called book 2.5 because they are all one story. Book 2 never really stops and book 3 starts about two hours after the end of book 2. I think the first one may be my favorite. Better story, better mystery, less crazy ass drama. It feels (not that it will ever ( Read more... )
