This has been quite an up and down year for me, but good, nonetheless. I have met many goals this year and learned so much about life. I hope to expand that knowledge even further this next year!
It just wouldn't be right if I didn't mention my Top 10 Favorite Books this year. These books weren't necessarily published in 2009 but it's my list and I'll add those I read this year, regardless of when published!! :)
- The Help by Kathryn Stockett
- Critical Care by Candace Calvert (I can hardly wait until Disaster Status comes out!! H-O-T-T-I-E on that cover!)
- The Apothecary's Daughter by Julie Klassen
- The Reluctant Cowgirl by Christine Lynxwiler
- Out of Her Hands by Megan DiMaria
- Twilight Series by Stephanie Meyer
- Immortal Instruments Series by Cassandra Clare
- Vanish by Tom Pawlik
- The Enclave by Karen Hancock
- The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart
In closing, I hope you and yours have a Happy and Prosperous New Year! If there is anything I could do to help that along, please let me know!
Great list of books. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great list of books, Julie. I haven't read any of those, actually. Of course if I read everything I wanted to read I would have to live forever, right? :) I hope you have a fabulous new year!
ReplyDeleteLike the list of books. The Mysterious Benedict Society was a fun read! Happy New Year and can't wait to see what you do with your blog during the upcoming year.
ReplyDeleteI'm so honored to see my debut medical drama, Critical Care, on your list of favorites for the year--thank you! And, trust me, I'm as eager to share Disaster Status (and its "hot" firefighter hero Captain McKenna!) with you in a few months. I appreciate all that you do to put good books into the hands of eager readers, and to encourage authors. You're a blessing. May 2010 be filled with happy adventures.
