The Best Reads of 2009
It’s been a crazy year, and one filled with amazing books-some I’m sure I will miss in the list. But I’m going to love sharing my favorites of the year with you all.
The year started and ended with two of the best books I’ve ever read-and they easily top my top five favorites-so with no further ado, my darlings:
Nazarea’s Favorite Reads of 2009:
Top Five:
The Name of the Wind Patrick Rothfuss.
The Time Traveler’s Wife Audrey Niffenegger.
13 Reasons Why Jay Asher.
The Nature of Jade Deb Caletti.
The Hunger Games Suzanne Collins
The Amazing Noteables: (In no particular order.)
The Forest of Hands and Teeth Carrie Ryan
The Prophecy of the Sisters Michelle Zink.
Dreamland Sarah Dessen.
Shiver Maggie Stiefvater
Fragile Eternity Melissa Marr
Santa Olivia Jacqueline Carey
Life As We Knew It. Susan Beth Pfeffer
The Weight of Silence Heather Gudenkauf
Luna Julie Anne Peters
Dreaming Anastaisa Joy Preble
Heart’s Blood Juliet Marillier
Swoon Nina Malkin
Graceling Kristin Cashore
My Soul to Take Rachel Vincent
A Certain Slant of Light Laura Whitcomb
Men of the Otherworld Kelley Armstrong.
So some of these books are coming of age, some are light and amusing, some are dark and gritty-but all of them are wonderfully written stories with excellent characters and setting. I thoroughly enjoyed them and look forward to reading them again in the future. (Okay, so this sucks. I had links to each of the author's sites or Amazon.com....but they all vanished. Sorry, folks.)
Have fun reading them!!
