#100 Dead Ever After by Charlaine Harris

It took me a while to get my hands on this and I read it in one setting. In a way I am sorry for Sookie and all the heartache she has had in her life. I'm satisfied with the ending and I wonder if the fans that were so outraged by it were mixing their love of the TV show with the love of the books. There are some minor loose threads but nothing that left me stomping my feet wanting more chapters to the book.  I hope that she will still write short stories in this universe even if they are not about Sookie.

#101 Once Upon a Time: New Fairy Tales by Paula Guran (Editor)

A good solid collection of fairy tales that are a retellings of older stories. I liked Keirnan's take on Little Red Riding Hood and Yolen's Sleeping Beauty from a different viewpoint was fun. Not every story was a remix of another story but took the bones of fairy tales and made them into new stories. IT certainly reminded me of they Datlow and Windling collections of stories and I hope there will be more.
