Nation by Terry Pratchett. Just finished it and honestly can't express what I'm feeling.

172. My booky wook - Russell Brand.
173. The lark and the laurel - Barbara Willard.
174. Plum lucky - Janet Evanovitch.
175. The dragonfly pool - Eva Ibbotson.
176. Mortification: writer's stories of their public shame - ed. Robin Robertson.

166. Careless in red - Elizabeth George. Her last book (What came before he shot her) was disappointing and I was worried this would be more of the same but EG is back on form with this book.
167. Busy woman seeks wife - Annie Sanders. Picked up at the library because it is how I feel sometimes! Fairly pedestrian, felt like it had been written with an eye to promoting it for a movie.
168. Ill-equipped for a life of sex: a memoir - Jennifer Lehr. Generally I like biographies, but I found this one a bit tedious and whiny.
169. What rhymes with bastard - Linda Robertson. Can't remember why I picked this one up now.
170. The Richleighs of Tantamount - Barbara Willard. Old-fashioned story set in the 1870s. The library where I work has a great collection of historic children's literature, and I am slowly working my way through it.
171. Wetworld - Mark Michalowski. Doctor Who Ten/Martha story.

163. Blue moon - Laurell K Hamilton. More vampires and werewolves, though grownup this time.
164. Lye street - Alan Campbell. A novella which is a prequel to Scar Night, which I read recently. More about the angel Carnival.
165. Artemis Fowl and the Time Paradox - Eoin Colfer. Lots of fun, felt it was better than the previous one in the series. Could be the last, or at least the last for a while, as I see Colfer has been invited to write a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy book.

159. Eclipse - Stephenie Meyer. Ok, I was wrong, the werewolves can stay.
160. Nim's island - Wendy Orr.
161. Tales from outer suburbia - Shaun Tan. Another great book, not a picture book this time, but still beautifully illustrated with odd little stories that make perfect sense.
162. A company of swans - Eva Ibbotson. I was disappointed at first, because I thought Eva Ibbotson had lost her touch and was rewriting the same old stories. Then I checked the publication date - it first came out in 1985 and I had read it before!

157. Caddy ever after - Hilary McKay. I love the Casson family, my 15-year-old son also likes reading these books. There are five of them now - Saffy's angel, Indigo's star, Permanent Rose, Caddy ever after and Forever Rose. Hilary McKay has said that Forever Rose is the last in the series.
158. Peacemaker - James Swallow. Doctor Who Ten/Martha story.

154. Scar night - Alan Campbell. Volume 1 of the Deepgate Codex. I picked up vol 2 at the library and thought it looked interesting, so had to go and find vol 1. Described on the cover as a "magnificent and colourful epic of urban fantasy ... in the best tradition of Gormenghast".
155. The Emperor Mage - Tamora Pierce.
156. Realms of the Gods - Tamora Pierce. Vols 3 and 4 of The Immortals series. Now I'm waiting for the next in her "Provost" series.

153. Stravaganza: City of secrets - Mary Hoffman. 4th in this series. I really like these books, the story has been well maintained throughout and I haven't felt like I need to go back and reread from the start when a new one comes out. Despite (because of?) the jumping around in time that is in the story, the books flow on well.

146. Sometimes love is under your foot - Colin Thompson. Picture book
147. Border princes - Dan Abnett. A Torchwood book.
148. Wild magic - Tamora Pierce. Never finished this quartet so I'm rereading.
149. Wolf-speaker - Tamora Pierce
150. A voice in the distance - Tabitha Suzuma. Told from the POV of two people, one with bi-polar and his girlfriend.
151. 911: the book of help. Got this because I had never read the Margaret Mahy essay which is in it. A collection of writers' responses to 11 September 2001. Very moving.
152. Cosmic - Frank Cottrell Bryce. Very funny - needed light relief after the previous two books.

144. The canning season - Polly Horvath. A young girl is sent to stay with elderly almost-aunts, mainly to get her out of the way of her feckless, selfish mother. Another girl shows up, dropped there by another not-relative (accidentally - they were looking for an orphanage). I couldn't see how this was going to end well, definitely thought someone was going to get eaten by the bears. The last chapter felt quite sad and sweet, then the epilogue tied everything up nicely.
145. Brian's return - Gary Paulsen. Another sequel to Hatchet. I think this is also titled "Hatchet: the call". Brian comes to the realisation that living in suburbia is not for him and goes back to the woods.

142. New moon - Stephenie Meyer. I guess I'm committed to reading the whole series now. I read the first one before I knew it was going to continue or be made into a film. Quite good, though I personally think adding werewolves is a bit much.
143. Laureate's progress - Quentin Blake. Diary of his time as Children's Laureate. I love both his illustrations and stories and it is nice to get a bit of a look at how he works. The National Gallery exhibition looked fantastic, and I wish I could see the whole thing, though I think there is a book which I will have to look for. (Love the idea of drawing on the walls between the "proper" pictures!)

138. Don't panic - Neil Gaiman
139. No room for a mouse - Kyle Mewburn and Freya Blackwood. Picture book about a busy mum and her son who have a very large house with lots of empty rooms. The son meets lots of people with nowhere to go and invites the m home.
140. Cowboy and Octopus - Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith. Very cool picture book about - duh - a cowboy and an octopus. That's basically it, but they are very very cool.
141. House of many ways (again). This time I remembered that DWJ has already written about a sick wizard with a multi-dimensional house. It's either the Merlin conspiracy or A sudden wild magic (I think). Oh, and a little bit of Dark Lord of Derkholm, when the family have to expand the house to make it look more like a demon's lair. (The wizard Derk is sick/absent for a lot of that too.) But it didn't really occur to me the first time I read it, so I think that means it isn't repetitive, she hasn't written the same story over and over again. Even though this story has a lot of characters we've already met, the new main ones are interesting and not overshadowed. I feel there's a bit more story to be told yet too.
