130. The Witch of Portobello, Paulo Coelho

Too heavy and boring. The only reason why i kept reading is because it was based on a real character, and I am intrigue to find out what happened to this character. But the writing itself is too philosophical and out of this world. Not interested.

129. Big Boned, Meg Cabot

It's more of a detective story, but from a lighter and funnier view. The main character is this 'big boned' woman who has a very funny and entertaining point of view, which made this novel an interesting read... it's like a combination of a chick lit and thriller. Liking it.

128. Nineteen Minutes, Jodi Picoult

Another good book by Jodi Picoult... hard to put down.. about a 16yrs old who committed massacre at his school, killing few people and injured some. It reminds me of the book 'Let's Talk about Kevin', except this one focus more on the investigation and the court proceedings. I also like how it explores the stories from a few different angles.

127. The School for Husbands, Wendy Holden

Ok. Moderate. Not very entertaining. About a man who was thoughtless and enrolled himself to 'school for husband' to save his marriage. I personally think the woman in the book is kinda annoying too, that it's not completely the husband's fault.

126. Give Yourself Permission to Fly, Brett Murray

Self-motivation book,.... to many beautiful motivating books. The title speaks for itself.

125. Wish I Was Here, Jackie Kay

Collection of short stories about... It didnt leave much impression on me, except for this quote"You go when you can no longer stay..."
