Favorite Books of 2011
Bekkah and Kate have done blog posts about this and I thought it'd be a good discussion thread. Post (link if possible!) your favorite books that you've read this year!
This is purely selfish because I need more books to add to my To Be Read list!

I also really enjoyed quite a few books by Karen Kingsbury and Jodi Picoult.
(If you're friends with me on facebook you should be able to find my goodreads shelf. I don't always rate all my books though.)
Good grief, almost all of my reviews start wtih "I loved this book and could not put it down".
Sarah's Key
Room
Book of Negros
Hunger Games Triology
The Help
Fall of Giants
Open - Andre Aggasi's autobiography
I am currently part way through Steve Jobs Biography and find it very interesting because I'm not familiar at all with him as a person or the progression of Apple Computers. I like how it talks about a lot of history of computers as a whole, but hate how it jumps around in time, I find that aspect hard to follow.
