72. Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver. Beautifully written and really interesting and educational.

73. The Nice Girl Syndrome: Stop Being Manipulated and Abused - and Start Standing Up for Yourself by Beverly Engel. A friend was talking about this book and I got curious. It's interesting.

74. A Matter of Fat by Sherry Ashworth. Hooray for secondhand books from across the sea courtesy of Amazon's Marketplace. I liked this one just as much as the other books of Ashworth's I've read, and have now ordered a few more that will hopefully turn up in the mailbox next week.

75. Room by Emma Donoghue. I liked this so much that I had to buy myself a copy after reading the library's, and then because I'd bought it I had to read it again. It's shockingly good. Also triggery, so if you have triggers you'd want to check out a review to see if it's something you'd be better off avoiding.

I'm so glad you read Room. I thought it was brilliant. Essene and I read it on Kindle, and then bought the hardcover, we liked it so much.

I'm curious about "The Nice Girl Syndrome" -- the subtitle is something I've said to other women throughout my adult years (nicely, of course). I actually got into a fight with a friend once because I told her she needed to put herself first and she missed the point, insisting that being selfish is not a good thing. *sigh*
