    Insurgent (Divergent #2) by Veronica Roth

    I had a ton of 4-stars this year. Great books that fell just short of being amazing. After much deliberation, I give my third spot to

    I gave out eight 5 star ratings this year.  If I could finish Horns by tomorrow night (I won't), it would be the 9th.  Narrowing down to a top 3 is hard!

    The first two books of Ken Follett's Century Trilogy
    Eleanor & Park
    Horns (even though I'm only about 1/2 through)
