I would like to ensure I’ve read all the best books published in 2009 before the year ends, so I thought this half way point would be a great point to compare notes and make sure all the best books are in my sights.
Here is the list of my favourite books from 2009 so far:
The Wilderness – Samantha Harvey
The Hunger Games – Suzanne Collins
The Ghosts of Eden – Andrew Sharp
The Thing Around Your Neck – Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
I’d also like to remind you that my favourite book of 2008 was published for the first time in America this year. If you haven’t read it yet then you really should – it is one of the few books ever to make me cry.
Random Acts of Heroic Love – Danny Scheinmann
I’ve also had the following books recommended to me, and plan to read them before the end of the year:
.
The Help – Kathryn Stockett
The Island at the End of the World – Sam Taylor
