5 Gold Books!

Is there anything better than a good book?  I think it's clear what my answer is, but every year I try to pick my favorite books of the year, and this year it was easy.

Actually, every year it's easy.

So, without any further ado, here are my Top 5 Books of the year:

It's quirky, different, and thought-provoking.  I loved how it made me think about my own life and how different things were ten years ago.

I really can't explain why I loved this one so much.  It's part fiction, part historical, and even a little thriller thrown in there.  Loved it.

Hands down my favorite book this year.  If you haven't read her stuff, you should.  Great writer.

It's a smarter, better version of Twilight, and yet similar in enough ways to keep us hooked.  I wish I could say I love the second book as much, but I have yet to get through it!

Is it porn?  Yes.

Do parts make you uncomfortable?  Absolutely!

Could you put it down once you started?  No.

Granted, this wasn't for everyone, and really wasn't the best written book of the year, but you have to give props to a middle-age british woman who can write something that captures the world.  Especially when you look at the subject.

It's the stuff that writers like me shake our heads at.  What I wouldn't give to have this kind of dream come true.  

Guess I should get writing, huh?

I don't need 5, but leave a comment of your most favorite book of the year.  If you haven't read any of these, check them out!
