64. The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway. This was another quick read. I didn't really expect to enjoy it because I'm not really interested in fishing stories but it was intriguing and I couldn't put it down. I felt bad that he didn't have anything left of the fish by the time he got back but that's part of the adventure I suppose. Katie's review: 5 stars
50. Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. This book was wonderful but jeez it's so long!! I had to take breaks and read other things just to keep going. I didn't feel like I was getting anywhere. But I really loved the story. It's beautifully told and sweet. I really fell in love with the characters. All the characters grew so much over the course of the 2 volumes. I grew quite attached to Laurie and was disappointed that Jo turned him away but Amy was a much better mate for him but Jo and Laurie were so fun together. Anyway, I loved this book. Definitely a must read. Katie's rating: 5 stars
87. Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston. This was a hard book to read. It took me forever to adjust to the vocabulary. I kept having to re-read pages to make sure I understood what was happening. It's really good feminist story, I enjoyed seeing Janie stand up for herself and grow stronger within. She survived a lot of hardships and was a strong woman because of it. Katie's rating: 3.75 stars
