First I have to say a very belated THANK YOU to Shannon at Book Dreaming who gave me the awesome One Lovely Blog Award!
The rules for the award are to link (up to) 15 new blogs. Whew!
I am going to have to come back with a post listing some new blogs when I get a chance to look at them!
Next it's time to list my favorite books that I read this year. They're not all 2009 releases but they are new reads in 2009 for me. All of these books had me thinking about them long after I'd finished reading which to me makes them great books.

Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater
The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan

Congrats on your award!
You have some great books on your list. I think I might try some of those myself! So many books...if only there were just a few more hours a day in which to read them all.
Happy new year!
Congratulations on the award! Oooh, I'm also desperate to read BEFORE I FALL. I can't wait!
And nice, I've read a few of your favorite books and I couldn't agree more!
Yippee!! Thanks for including ANNA AND THE BOY MASTERPIECE on your dying to read list! :) I'm so happy and flattered.
I've already had the good fortune to read Will Grayson, Will Grayson and Paranormalcy and they were both AWESOME. And I love your 2009 list — many of my favorites on there as well! I think When You Reach Me is a shoo-in for the Newbery.
I can't wait to read Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver either!!!
Great list :)
Happy New Year!
All your favorite books of 2009 are on my wish list or TBR and I adored Paper Towns! I cannot wait most for Will Grayson, Will Grayson.
GREAT BOOKS!!!
