What's Your ONE Favorite Book of 2012?

[Jay]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

just one??
I think my favorite this year is

Not only because it's an awesome book, but it was the first book I really got to enjoy with my teenager. Not only did we both pre-order the signed copies, read it at the same time - we also went to meet John Green when he was touring with his brother Hank.
I've read books with my teen for a long time (since she was in third grade) and this was the first time we really got to experience it together.

And it's just such a great book to get to read together.

Really, wow??

Jay, is there one thing that stood out about this book? I'd love to hear more.

another group did this as a "group read" and their comments kind of scared me away from it...it's good??

[Jay]

Yes I thought I was good

I just really liked the main character

She's brave,funny and a awesome assassin

All of the characters were cool

The author said it might be a six book series

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

hmmm, strong main character and good surrounding characters.... sounds good! alright, I'll give it another try!

thanks jay!! :D

[Mehsi]

Mm I will wait until 2012 is over. Then I will see what I have read and pick one of those as my fav. Still got 25 days left to read books, and who knows maybe I will find more candidates for the fav book 2012. :)

"

Well I still got some books I am looking forward to and want to read. Almost up-to-date with my library books so I can start on those. :)
I will probably pick a fav around 30 December. :)

[Gisbelle]

Gee... You are so cruel, Sarajayne! Only one? hehe... For me it has to be

[Gisbelle]

hehe.. Maybe the book is not for you Sarajayne since you don't like contemporary romance much :) Let me know IF you read it :D I am really eager to read book 2 :D

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I thought that book was 'okay' it was pretty disappointing in my eyes. I just thought it had such a stereotypical 'plot twist' if you can call it that, and the love story was so unnecessary and out of character :l

Are you going to read the sequel?

[Katie]

Not sure. Maybe. It's not on the top of my list let's just put it that way!

[Gisbelle]

There are like 4 or 5 novella also, right?

From what I'm aware of yes, they do sound interesting as to how she got where she is to be honest. I'll probably read the first one of those before the second throne of glass book.

[Beatrice]

This is a hard question..
I guess it will be .

[Mehsi]

Btw question, can I have 2 favs? I mostly read either in English and Dutch. So I would like to pick a fav book that is in English and a fav book that is in Dutch.

[Sandee is Reading]

I have to agree that this is a hard question!

I would have to go for . :)

That is a secret. :) I got some candidates for both, I am waiting for 2012 to almost end before I will pick one for both. (since I still have enough to read (either Dutch or English)). :)
But I am hoping it is ok for me to pick two (one for each language).

I love this book. I enjoyed reading it. It's thrilling and a page turner.

[Catastrophe]

This book was beautifully written. It really made me cry...

Wow, I impressed that you were actually able to pick just one from 250 books! Well, If you say so, this is my next book I am going to read.

Thanks for sharing girls :)

[Jojobean]

[Mel]

I would have to choose

[Jasmine]

For me, it would have to be :)

It was absolutely amazing:D

[Mehsi]

Lets see, for English book I pick: (absolutely magical and beautiful book)
For Dutch I pick:

[Ruth Noemi]

I would have to choose

[Mara]

Oh, this is super-hard. There were actually quite a few good ones published this year . . . I don't know what to pick! I loved The Dark Unwinding and The Scorpio Races more than I can say. And Keeping the Castle. But, I am going to choose:



It is still, in my opinion, the No. 1 YA book this year.

The Snow Child was absolutely amazing. It took my breath away and is one of my 2012 fave reads.

I don't know what to pick for number one... Maybe ?

[Colin]

How can I only choose one?!

While it didn't come out in 2012, my favorite book I read in 2012 was definitely Catching Fire. So many twists and end-of-chapter cliffhangers always made it hard for me to stop reading. I often found myself going and going in order to finish it. Can't wait for the movie later this year!!

[[deleted user]]

Ugh. A bunch of my fave authors had really let me down in 2012. But I guess my fave book of the year would either have to be:
or .

[Mehsi]

A tip for next time use the add book/author link and search for the books there and add them (you can pick between only a link or a cover picture). Or make the images smaller, because they are quite huge.

Hallowed seems like a nice book, might go and see if I can find book one.

LOL. Thanks for the tip! I never really posted pics before, so the tip was needed! :)

Hallowed is a sequel, so I suggest you read Unearthly first if you haven't done so. In advance, I'm Team Christian. ;)

Thanks again!

[Mehsi]

You're welcome. :) Glad I could help.

And ah, it is a sequel? Then I will see if I can find Unearthly and see if it is good. :)
Team Christian? What teams do we have?

You're welcome, thanks for letting me know about Hallowed.

Gotta love Sailor Venus. :) Did you know they're remaking the anime?

[Gisbelle]

Yes, I used to watch the anime when I was young, but I never read manga before :)

There's a Team Christian and a Team Tucker. Christian may seem a too-perfect guy in the first book, but wait until the second before you decide what you think of him (though I was all for him since book one. *Rolls eyes* Me and my pretty boys...).

Enjoy reading!

LOL. Well, the anime was SO different from the manga, that they're remaking it to match the manga story-line this time around!
