Which one was your favourite?

Oh Sussan, you hit me with a hard question.... very hard. I'm hopeless at rating things.

I adored both Keri Arthur Riley Jensen series books (sigh - Quinn), JR Ward's The Black Dagger Brotherhood series, and Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunter series. And C.E Murphy's Coyote Dreams was a fantastic installment to The Walker Papers. Can't wait to read the next books in all these series.

Jim Butcher's Storm Front was a great first book in a series, so want to continue with those.

I was drawn into Twilight and The Host.

And I always love books by Barbara Hannay and Marion Lennox.

I laugh with Janet Evanovich, and cringed (as it was crime) with Lisa Gardner and Kathy Reichs. I admire the artwork of Frank Miller. And if you want a very very hot read with poetic language, it's Denise Rossetti.

Then there's the children's books - Neil Gaiman is a great author. Caroline is creepy and I know I would have loved that as a kid.

See I'm hopeless. I can't make up my mind. :)

If I had to choose I will go for JR Ward - it has adventure, action, romance, and gorgeous vampires with emotional depth and because it's the series I read the most this year.

WOW Eleni that is some book list there.

Hope you have a wonderful 2009. Thank you for all your support last year.

Hugs

Sandie - hugs back at you. And yes, I'm surprised at how much I read this year in comparison to last year. Not even half that.

Have a great 2009 and happy writing!! :)
