WELCOME TO 2009

Hi,

Well the tally has been done, I read 134 books in 2008. If i stopped reading the Saturday paper I think I could easily take it up by another 30. Well we'll see what 2009 will hold.

So I thought I'd create a little best of 2008 list.
Top Five Fave Fiction:
#5 -- Life as we knew it by Susan Pfeffer
#4 -- Savvy by Ingrid Law
#3 -- Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher
#2 -- Black Duck by Janet Lisle
#1 -- Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

Of course I have some honorable mentions - The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick, How to Steal a Dog by Barbara O'Connor, The Adoration of Jenna Fox by Mary E. Pearson, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-time Indian by Sherman Alexie, Elijah of Buxton by Christopher Paul Curtis, and My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult.

Graphic Novel favorites included: Rapunzel's Revenge by Shannon Hale, Dark Wraith of Shannara by Terry Brooks, and The Runaways by Brian K. Vaughan.

I hope some of you will share what your favourites from last year were. I think the obvious choice will be The Twilight series by Stephanie Meyers.
