I didn't keep track of all the books I read in 2009, but I can remember several that I really liked. Here is a list of books I read during the past year that I think are worth your time. I am still having trouble with links. They don't work the way Amazon says they should, but I'll try again soon to link these books to Amazon.
1. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
2. Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins (sequel to The Hunger Games; third in trilogy due out this year)
3. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson
4. The Girl Who Played With Fire by Stieg Larsson (sequel to above; third in trilogy due out in May)
5. Listening Valley by D.E. Stevenson
6. Shoulder the Sky by D.E. Stevenson
7. Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater (for fans of Twilight, only better)
8. Finger Lickin' Fifteen by Janet Evanovich (laughed so hard I nearly died of asphyxia)
9. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows
10. The Black Moth by Georgette Heyer
11. These Old Shades by Georgette Heyer
12. Devil's Cub by Georgette Heyer
13. Tea Time for the Traditionally Built by Alexander McCall Smith
I get such a nice feeling when I look at your list, Stephany. Nearly all of these are favorite authors of mine (haven't read Guernsey book yet, and not much McCall Smith - but I adore Heyer and Stevenson as old favorites, and have enjoyed the others more recently). So nice to see the reading list of a kindred spirit.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of re-reading some Stevenson...
Thanks for sharing your top reads of '09!
