The end of the year is upon us and it's time to look back over my past year's reading. Beautiful, isn't it? (Note: if you're reading in an RSS reader, click through for the full effect.)
I sorted them by date read, starting in January and ending just yesterday. Standout novels for me this year were The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffeneger, The Book of Joe by Jonathan Tropper, Neverwhere and The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz, and Here at the End of the World We Learn to Dance by Lloyd Jones. Plus, I discovered Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum, which made for many hours of delicious fun reading.
Many of the books below have reviews if you click their covers.

Dude, if you enjoyed the Marian Keyes book, you'll probably really dig Katie Fforde and also Sophie Kinsella. With Kinsella, I didn't care for her "Shopaholic" series, but all of her other books are ace.
I'm so addicted to corny chick-lit it's not even funny!
I went on a chick lit kick in 2007 and read a lot of Katie Fforde then. You're right, I did like her! I also read the Shopaholic books and was less than impressed, but I'll have to give Kinsella's other books a chance. I've heard the same assessment from a number of people now.
