I probably missed some, 365 days is a long time, but those are the ones that I remember.

I do not actually remember... I think I have read about 4 books in total this year not including Twilight series.

Alexandra Ivy - Darkness Everlasting
Best vamp book i have EVER read. It's soo not Twilight, and it is soo sweet! The vamp is like... major hot! And not in an Edward Cullen perfection way... so original.

Nicholas Sparks - The Guardian

"The Hunger Games" - Suzanne Collins

"Unwind" - Neal Shusterman

"The Host" - Stephenie Meyer (sooo much better than Twilight)

"Messy Spirituality" - Mike Yaconelli


I haven't read a ton of really good books this year. Hope to remedy that in 2009.
