The Century Mark

I've broken into three digits as of yesterday.

#100 is Gathering Blue by Lois Lowry. I had to finish out the sequence started with The Giver and since I love YA, it seemed appropriate to go with that for my 100th book. Not as strong as the first in the series, but still an interesting alterate version of what a post-apocalyptic future could be. I thought that the portion of the song that is treated as nonsense words, but is actually city names broken into syllables and regrouped was a nicely chilling touch.

#101 is Northern Lights by Nora Roberts. I was in the mood for a little brain candy today and this admirably filled that role.

In other news, my monitor died on Tuesday and today was my return to onlineness (onlineity? I like making up words.). So, hello internets. It's good to see you again. Plus, the new monitor is a 19" flatscreen. Things look much bigger now. But, none of you do I promise. ;)
