There's been lots of "Favorite Books of 2009" lists floating out there in the blog-o-sphere lately, so here's my humble offering, in no particular order:
The Bartimaeus Trilogy, by Jonathan Stroud
Hunger Games and Catching Fire, by Suzanne Collins
Hunger Games and Catching Fire What I Saw and How I Lied Neil Armstrong Is My Uncle and Other Lies Muscle Man McGinty Told Me The Forest of Hands and Teeth Going Bovine When You Reach Me
As for me, I can't remember all the books I have read last year, but from what I *do* remember my favorites are listed as follows:
The Italian by Ann Radcliffe The Farthest Shore by Ursula LeGuin The Gospel According to Peanuts by Robert Short Mimosa by Amy Carmichael The Samurai by Shusaku Endo
