59. As Nature Made Him: The Boy Who Was Raised as a Girl by John Colapinto. This book was difficult to read - it's about David Reimer, the twin boy who suffered permanent injury due to a botched circumcision. His parents were advised to raise him as a girl, and did so, but he always knew that something wasn't right and eventually chose to live life as a man.

60. How To Train Your Dragon Book 2: How To Be a Pirate by Cressida Cowell. Read this with my son after having read the first book some time ago. Adorable, great sense of humor, very funny.

61. Martha Stewart Cupcakes put out by Martha Stewart Living Magazine. I want to make all of these!

62. One Perfect Day: The Selling of the American Wedding by Rebecca Mead. Very interesting non-fiction book about the huge industry that has been created around the American wedding.

63. Hungry Girl 1-2-3: The Easiest, Most Delicious, Guilt-Free Recipes on the Planet by Lisa Lillien. I didn't realize when I requested this through inter-library loan that its focus is on low calorie eating, which I don't mind as a concept. But a lot of the recipes contain things that I don't really consider to be "real food," like Fat Free Sugar Free Cool Whip and Splenda, so I'm less excited about it than I thought I would be. Some of the recipes sound okay though.

Erk. Right there is one reason I skipped the circumcision. Barring religious reasons, just...no...

(though I see from the description that it was legitimate medical surgery in this case)

Even thinking about it makes me cringe, seriously.

The Hungry Girl phenomenon started as a blog, providing 'low calorie' recipe alternatives to popular high cal foods. She's since gone corporate. I lost interest a long time ago, for the reasons you mentioned. I'd rather use fresh ingredients when possible, and don't really like her reliance on processed foods. YMMV of course.

Some of the recipes in the book sound pretty good (I like the idea of coating chicken strips in squished up Peanut Butter Crunch cereal, for example, LOL!)
