It’s that time of the year again, when people start talking about the best of 2008. 

I read some awesome books this year.   Read some new books from favorites and discovered YA.  And by the looks of my wishlist and the books coming out from the ladies here at the BB, 2009 is going to be a stellar year for great books.

Here’s a short list of some of my favorites this year: (in no particular order)

WANDERLUST – Ann Aguirre - scifi

UNDERCOVER – Lauren Dane - futuristic

THE DEVOURING – Simon Holt – YA

SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING PANTS – Ann Brashears – YA

HIDDEN – Eve Kenin – futuristic

DEAD REIGN – TA Pratt – urban fantasy

UNQUIET DREAMS – Mark del Franco – urban fantasy

IRON KISSED – Patricia Briggs – UF

ONE FOOT IN THE GRAVE – Jeaniene Frost – UF

UNLEASHED – Christopher Reisz – YA

UGLIES – Scott Westerfeld – YA

PATHS NOT TAKEN – Simon Green – UF

SHARPER THAN A SERPENT’S TOOTH – Simon Green – UF

HELL TO PAY – Simon Green – UF

MIDNIGHTERS #1 – Scott Westerfeld – YA

FEAST OF FOOLS – Rachel Caine – YA

THE OUTLAW DEMON WAILS – Kim Harrison – YA

Our of all the books I’ve read in 2008, there were only maybe six or seven that I couldn’t finish for one reason or another. 

My new year book reading resolutions are: 1. read more of the BB books, these ladies are so talented I know I’m missing some major gems  2. try and step outside my comfort zone and read other genres  3. talk about the books I love more, get the word out about great books to more people

Did you read any stand out books in 2008?  Do you have any new year reading resolutions?

This will be my last post before the holiday and the new year… so HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!
