Now, the idea is to only choose books that were published in 2009, regardless of what country you live in. If a book was released in the US in 2008, but released in your country in 2009, that's okay. I know there is still a month in a half left of 2009, but if you know there is a book coming out between now and Dec. 31st, then it’s still eligible.
After reading some of the top 10 lists from my fellow bookbloggers, I know I have to do this although I find it tough to name only the top ten because this year has been a good reading year for me so far (in terms of quality instead of quantity). Nevertheless, I shall abide by the rules and below is my top 10 books after much consideration.
The Ghost Writer by John Harwood (Thriller)
The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson (Thriller)
Heartsick by Chelsea Cain (Crime Thriller)
Ritual by Mo Hayder (Crime Thriller)
Stolen by Lucy Christopher (Young Adult, Fiction)
Looking for Alaska by John Green (Young Adult, Fiction)
Fallen Skies by Philippa Gregory (Fiction)
Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater (Young Adult, Fantasy)
Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto (Fiction)
The School of Essential Ingredients by Erica Bauermeister (Fiction)
As there is still about a month left to go before the end of the year, I am hoping to find some more good books to read and add to my favourites list.
So, what are your top 10 books this year? What books would you recommend? Come on, do share!
