62. The Raw Shark Texts - Steven Hall

Kinda mind-blowing. It took a little time and effort to get into this book, and a little more time to wrap my head around the concept behind it, but I was rewarded with a reading experience I've never had before. It will easily fall in my top ten books of the year.

63. Wicked Nights - Nina Bangs

Fluff. Enjoyable and well-written fluff, but after the RST, I wanted light and uncomplicated.

64. To Bed a Beauty - Nicole Jordan

And more fluff. Smutty fluff. My favorite kind.

A nice, easy read. I'm kind of enjoying the fluffy romance books these days - and kind of needing them to help restore my belief in love. I know, it's not like the books. Boy do I know that. But the fairy tale is still nice to believe in now and then :) And what woman doesn't want to fantasize about a fabulously wealthy, super hot man whose only goal in life is to make her life perfect?

65. Key of Light - Nora Roberts

If you guessed there were three friends, and three women drawn together to solve a mystical mystery, and those folks started pairing off, you'd be totally right. She's a great writer, though, and while I know the way this trilogy will play out, I'm still enjoying it. And loving that, at least in Roberts' romances, the men aren't all kajillionaires and they sometimes seem like normal folks.

I'm trying to make myself read some weightier tomes, like Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway, Huxley's Brave New World and Hardy's Tess of the d'Urbervilles. I'm just not having a lot of luck convincing myself to read them. But stay tuned - I swear I'll read a classic one of these days!
