Sarah’s List of Awesome Books 2011

by Sarah on December 2, 2011

Behold, these are the books that may or may not have come out this year that I love. Read them. Hate them. Hate me for loving them. Love me for loving them. I don’t care.

1. Reckless by Cornelia Funke. Dark fairy tales and a boy whose name is Jacob. Oooh la la. Here the link to it’s Amazon page, where you can read reviews and an excerpt: http://www.amazon.com/Reckless-Cornelia-Funke/dp/0316056073/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1322850887&sr=1-1
2. The Wolves of Mercy Falls Trilogy (Shiver, Linger, Forever) by Maggie Stiefvater. The best bittersweet love story I have ever read. I love Same so much :) Amazon page is here for the first book, you can easily find the others from there: http://www.amazon.com/Shiver-Wolves-Mercy-Maggie-Stiefvater/dp/0545123275/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1322852806&sr=1-1
3. Divergent by Veronica Roth. Mmm. Great, strong heroine and awesome dystopian setting. I can’t wait for Insurgent. Amazon page is here: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_5?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=divergent&sprefix=diver
4. The Space Between by Brenna Yovanoff. I didn’t know this existed until I found the Merry Fate short stories. Half-angel/demon love story. Awesome beginning, alright middle, and pretty awesome ending (though I mostly ignore the epilogue). Amazon page here: http://www.amazon.com/Space-Between-Brenna-Yovanoff/dp/1595143394/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1322853291&sr=1-1
5. The Princess Bride by William Goldman. It’s a classic. I love it to pieces.
6. The Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling. Because it’s just awesome.
7. The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins. Much buzz about this because of the upcoming movie. Can’t wait for it! Amazon page: http://www.amazon.com/Hunger-Games-Suzanne-Collins/dp/0439023521/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1322853010&sr=1-1

Love and much reading,
Sarah

I havent read Reckless, but Cornelia Funke is great. Thief Lord and Inkheart are just examples.
The Wolves of Mercy Falls are awesome! Except, before forever came out, I wanted to kill the author for the way she ended Linger.
Havent heard of Divergent.
I watched the Princess Bride, and wheneer i watch a movie, i like reading the book for comparisms. (Stuart Little was SO ripped off) But i havent read it yet.
Harry Potter? Well, one of my friends loves it so much, she tries to get me to read it. But she’s so annoying about it that i refuse to, just to annoy her. Sadly, that means i cant read it, which i SO want to.
The Hunger Games? BEST SERIES EVER!!! Funny, I’m in the “Harry Potter” situation with my friend with these books, except its me trying to get her to read them and her refusing. Grr…

I love Cornelia Funke! The Inkheart series is great! (there’s 3 books in the series in case anyone was wondering: Inkheart, Inkspell, and Inkdeath)
