67 Forged in Blood II - Lindsay Buroker This was an incredibly satisfying end to one of my very favorite series. If you haven't checked out the Emperor's Edge series, you're missing out. They are fantastic (and cheapish!) This was everything I wanted in a last book, except that I'm sad that it's over.
68 Me Before You - Jojo Moyes I thought I knew the premise and I didn't "cry through the whole thing" like a lot of people, but it was very well written and yes, I was weepy by the end. I liked that people weren't glossed over - you saw the good and the bad. Although I really hated her jerky father, and her sister was a bitch.
69 The Twelves Rooms of the Nile - Enid Shomer I just couldn't get into this. Once I saw what it was about, I knew I'd have trouble. It's set during the time of Florence Nightingale and it's kind of a "what if" historical fiction. What if Florence Nightingale and Gustav Flaubert became friends. It was very well written, so if you like that sort of historical fiction, you'd like this one.
70 Fangirl - Rainbow Rowell This was my bible. I want to do nothing for October but re-read it numerous times. I loved Attachments, and I saw what everyone else saw in Eleanor & Park, but I felt like this was for me. Love. I am in Love.
71 Sisterland - Curtis Sittenfeld I didn't love Prep the way everyone else did. I liked it, and I read it FOREVER ago so maybe I just don't remember it correctly, but I thought it was okay. I got on a Sittenfeld kick recently because everyone else was doing it, and I seem to like the ones that others didn't. I liked this one a lot. It was good stuff.

Definitely adding Me Before You to my 'to read' list. Fangirl is already there. I was disappointed with Lindsay's new book Torrent. It was good in spots. The dialog was great as always, but I didn't love it. It was missing a good romance, but that shouldn't matter, should it?
