My Top Ten Books of 2011

 

Better late than never! In no particular order, here are my favorite books of 2011: 

1. Matched by Ally Condie (5/5)
2. Room by Emma Donoghue (5/5)
3. The Tenth Circle by Jodi Picoult (5/5) 
4. The Peach Keeper by Sarah Addison Allen (4/5) 
5. The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield (4/5)
6. A Discovery Of Witches by Deborah Harkness (5/5)
7. Wicked Appetite by Janet Evanovich (5/5)
8. Foreign Body by Robin Cook (5/5)
9. Ruby Red by Kerstin Gier (5/5)
10. Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini (4/5)

I read a total of 60 books in 2011, so once again it was hard to pick only ten favorite books, especially since I rated 18 books the maximum of 5/5 and 29 books a very decent 4/5. 2011 was definitely a great reading year, and I am thrilled to say that 2012 isn't far behind. Any book recommendations? Who knows -- maybe your favorite book will end up on my Top Ten list of 2012.

  1. I love book recommendations--I'll have to look for some of those! The only one on your list that I've read is Room, which I also loved. (I chose it for my book club to read, too.)

    My favorites so far this year are The Soldier's Wife (Margaret Leroy) and The Fault in Our Stars (John Green).

  2. Hello Birgit! Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving such a sweet comment! I totally understand you not wanting to sign up with Linky. Unfortunately, I have Typepad and google took away google friends on all non blogger sites, so Linky is all I have. It makes it difficult for me, but it is more difficult to switch to blogger.
    It is so nice to know you stop by. And I consider that following, so I will definitely add your name to the drawing.
    I will be back to visit soon!
