58. The Reptile Room (Series of Unfortunate EVents #2) by Lemony Snicket
July really was a slow month for me, but I'm picking up the pace again.59.

How are the Pennsylvania Dutch mysteries coming along? I remember reading a few of them, five or seven years ago, but I had no idea there were 17 in the series!

And I'm not sure why - there are lots of other books I like better. Throughout the series, I saw a lot of inconsistencies, too, that drove me nuts. But there's something oddly fascinating about Magdalena Yoder and some of the other characters in these books. #18 is due out in February, I think. I'm wondering if the author will be winding up the series with that one - I did see some things in the last few books that were more cohesive, as if the author finally figured out just who the heck Magdalena was!

Also: food porn. Not porn with food, I mean--just lots of food in general.
As for me, I read the entire Virgil Tibbs mystery series this year, after reading "In the Heat of the Night" on a whim last year--and (aside from Tamar Myers, of course) I never read mysteries! Sometimes you just have to go slummin'.

Dawn's Light, by Terri Blackstock. I seem to be in the minority as several other "Goodreaders" felt the ending to this series was very satisfying. I personal..."
I've never read anything by her, but I've heard alot about her. What is your favorite series that she has written?
