Melissa - I'm still looking for someone who DIDN'T love The Help :-). Glad you liked Admission too; I know quite a few people who did, but plenty of others who were "meh" about it.

I really enjoyed Admission and LOVED The Help.

Susan - I still remember parts of that one and I read it back in March, so that's a good sign :-).

There are few here I'd like to read including Honeymoon in Tehran.

2009-11-26T20:34:50.368-08:00

Wendy (Literary Feline) - I think you'll like Honeymoon in Tehran once you finally get around to reading it :-). The Unit kind of surprised me - I liked it more than I expected to.

And I'm very glad you read Still Alice along with me - it really was good, and it's really important too.

I love that you were so detailed with your list, Florinda. :-) Lists like this are so much fun to read. :-)

I still haven't managed to read Honeymoon in Tehran. Bad me, I know. :-(

I'm really curious about The Unit and hope to one day give it a try for myself.

I'm so grateful to you for encouraging me to read Still Alice this year. It's such a good book.

2009-11-25T08:35:27.047-08:00

Stacybuckeye - Actually, LibraryThing was really helpful with that. I've tagged every book I've read this year with "2009 review," and I sorted those by publication date - that let me find 2009 books very easily! It also confirmed that some of my favorite reading this year was not published this year :-).

I haven't read any of these, but a few are on my t...

2009-11-25T07:28:12.239-08:00

I haven't read any of these, but a few are on my tbr list.
Like you, I'm not sure how many books I've read that were actually published in 2009. I'll need to figure that out for my 2009 wrap up lists.

2009-11-24T19:28:51.503-08:00

Kim - I'm reading the books in the wrong order, but I'm glad you liked Lipstick Jihad. I lucked into an ARC of Honeymoon in Tehran, but it's worth buying in hardcover :-).

Eric - I think it's still on schedule for next summer; I know a lot of us HOPE so, anyway!

2009-11-24T14:05:02.346-08:00

I'm really looking forward to reading 'Honeymoon in Tehran.' I bought the hardcover earlier this year after reading her other book 'Lipstick Jihad,' but I still haven't read it yet. I have no idea why! I'm glad it was one of your best books this year.

2009-11-23T19:09:50.813-08:00

Lenore - I was a little nervous about it, since it's been so praised, but now I know it was all deserved! My review will post tomorrow.

Jonita - Maybe the book hasn't been as talked about in Canada? In any case, it's worth reading.

I'll be posting more of my Books of the Year in a few weeks - this list was limited to those published in 2009, and some of my favorites were out earlier than that :-).

2009-11-23T13:32:10.826-08:00

I don't think that I've heard anything about "The Help" to date, but now that I've read your review I'll check it out! I'm looking forward to your actual review of it.

I just started thinking about my Top 10 list- so many books, so little time! There were many great books that I read this year :)

I completely agree about THE HELP. I just finished it and adored it!

2009-11-23T08:49:45.165-08:00

Care - LibraryThing told me that Still Alice was 2009, so I went with that. I know it was self-published and circulated before a major publisher picked it up - maybe that was 2008?

Novelwhore - I have Juliet, Naked on my Kindle, but probably won't read it until next year :-). And I agree with you about Grogan's writing style - I like it a lot.

Kathy (Bermudaonion) - Aren't there always SO MANY books we get anxious to read :-)? I'm curious to see what other people put on their lists!

2009-11-23T06:18:46.390-08:00

Great list of 2009! I would definitely include THE HELP on my list, along with Hornby's JULIET, NAKED. I am hoping to read Grogan's book, but more because I enjoy his conversational style more than the topic being of interest. Thanks for sharing.

2009-11-23T05:16:36.401-08:00

Awesome list! I read Still Alice - why did I assume it was in 2008? I would count that as worthy. :)
