2009: Year in Review

I read a lot less this year. I guess maybe still more than most, more than a book a week, but far far less than prior years. So, that should make it a lot easier to rate my favorites of the year, but I'm not so sure. I'll do my best though to summarize a few of the favorites and of course, the books that you can certainly skip.

Really good reads:
1. Bel Canto (#53)
2. Time Traveler's Wife (#49)
3. Second Glance (#47)
4. Long Lost (#14)
5. Sheer Abandon (#37)
6. The Hour I First Believed (#52)

Best Series:
1: Jessica Darling series by Megan McCafferty (Sloppy Firsts, Second Helpings, Charmed Thirds, Fourth Comings & Perfect Fifths)
2. Lytton trilogy by Penny Vincenzi (No Angel, Something Dangerous, Into Temptation)
3. Jen Lancaster books

Ones to skip... Mrs. Perfect, Dead Until Dark, Finger Lickin Fifteen, Body Surfing, The Last Summer of her Other Life, One Week in December
