Ash’s comments from the Challenge: 50 Books group.

50. Death and the Penguin by Andrey Kurkov.

Done!

49. Bad Feminist: Essays by Roxane Gay.

48. Case Studies in Organizational Behavior and Theory for Health Care
by Nancy Borkowski.

Needs to be updated with current policy implications; was a good discussion-starter for an organizational studies course.

47. Health Insurance by Michael A. Morrisey.

46. The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison.

45. Lonely Planet Barcelona by Regis St. Louis.

GOAL #4: Travel Writing

44. Classics of Organization Theory by Jay M. Shafritz, J. Steven Ott, Yong Suk Jang.

Dry book for a dry subject. Glad we only spent half of the semester reading the history of organization theory. The progression from mechanistic to organic models was chilling/depressing/hopeful to think about.

43. Some of My Best Friends Are Black: The Strange Story of Integration in America by Tanner Colby.

42. Four by Veronica Roth.

41. Tales of the City (Tales of the City #1) by Armistead Maupin.

40. Allegiant by Veronica Roth.

Thanks, Donna! It's more of a personal rule. A few years back I went cookbook crazy, and many of the books I counted as 'read' didn't FULLY get read. ;)

39. Man Gone Down by Michael Thomas.

GOAL #3: Autobiography... of sorts.

38. All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr.

37. One Pot by Martha Stewart Living.

(Yes, I know this is slightly cheating, but it's such a good cookbook. I marked at least 40 recipes I'm going to try in 2015.)

36. Winter's Bone by Daniel Woodrell.

GOAL #2: To-Read List

35. Texts From Jane Eyre by Mallory Ortberg.

34. An Untamed State by Roxanne Gay.

33. Insurgent (Divergent #2) by Veronica Roth.

32. The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton.
