Whew!

Hard to pick my favorites.

Okay, I'll just jump in.

Here's my list of favorite books published in 2009, along with genre:

What I Thought I Knew (Memoirs)



Tales from Outer Suburbia (Graphic Novels and Manga)



Guess Again! (Children's)



Thing Around Your Neck (Contemporary Literature)



Also Known as Harper (Young Adult)

  3. Hold on a sec. I need to grab my notepad and pencil. Okay, I'm ready now.

    I haven't quite caught onto the Suzanne Collins craze yet, but it's very tempting the more I hear about the books. I will probably try and hold out until the third book comes out before giving them a try. Then there won't be any waiting for the next book in the series to come out. :-)

    The Thing Around Your Neck and The Help are both books I am eager to read. I am glad to see they've made your list.

    I hope you have a great week!

  4. 300??? I'm in complete awe of this achievement. I've had the slowest reading year ever. I just finished my 42 book. That's half of my normal amount. Oh, well. I'm having fun selling books. Just wish I had more time reading 'em.

    But to the books on your list... I think The Help will be showing up on a lot of Top Ten/Favorites lists for 2009, don't you? It's on mine, too.

  7. Catching fire is an awesome book. Suzanne Collins just has a way to make you want to read more and more and more! After the cliffhanger I am pumped for book three.

  8. THE HELP is an outstanding book. I got lost in it--just couldn't put it down. Just finished another fantastic read, ECHO HOUSE by Ward Just. Thanks for your book list!

  9. Great list, thanks. I can't say I've ever read a graphic novel, but Tales from Outer Suburbia looks wonderful. I think I'll give it a try, thanks for the recommendation.
