Top reads of 2012?

[Werner]

The idea for this thread was a bit late in hitting me; but I don't guess 2012 is so far in the past that we'll have trouble remembering it. :-) What were favorite reads last year? Try to limit your list to five items or so (you can list trilogies, for instance, together). I wasn't sure what folder to put this in, so I picked this one; but your choices don't have to be contemporary.

2012 was a good year in reading for me; I had more than five five-star ratings on my list. My top favorites, though, would be: Vols. 1 and 2 of Krisi Keley's Pro Luce Habere (the prequel to On the Soul of a Vampire, my favorite read of 2011); Brisingr and Inheritance, the third and fourth books of Christopher Paolini's Inheritance Cycle; Norah Lofts' Afternoon of an Autocrat; and Life in the Iron Mills and Other Stories, by 19th-century Realist author Rebecca Harding Davis.

Charly, I read the first book of the Hunger Games trilogy early this year, and gave it five stars! I'm looking forward to reading the next one sometime this spring.

My daughter also rated The Hunger Games as her favorite she read this year. As for me, I'll have to look over my little list again.
