17. Lost and Found by Carolyn Parkhurst. Lots of characters and lots of point of views, which I had mixed feelings about. This is about a cast of people playing a reality-tv game show sort of like The Amazing Race, and their relationships with each other. Good stuff, though I far prefer Ms. Parkhurst's previous novel The Dogs of Babel, which is spectacular.

18. Happiness Sold Separately by Lolly Winston. I adored Ms. Winston's novel Good Grief and while I didn't like this story as much, it was still very good. The characters are all real people with good hearts even when they're making mistakes.

19. Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic by Alison Bechdel. This graphic novel is mostly about the author and her relationship with her father. It includes tons of literary references and I really enjoyed it even though reading it gave me a headache (literally) which I assume had something to do with the format. I was a big fan of her Dykes To Watch Out For in college and it was great to re-discover her.
