Book Haven discussion

Out of the books that have already come out this year, which were the best? (note:only mention the ones you have already read) :)

Here are mine...

Hunted-P.C. Cast
Sins of a Wicked Duke-Sophie Jordan

I forgot about Evermore! I read that too and liked it!

One that really stands out this year is The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

I agree with Rane on Addicted
also J R Ward Lover Avenged.

So far this year...
Smooth Talking Stranger by Lisa Kleypas
Lover Avenged by J.R. Ward
One Reckless Summer by Toni Blake

Finger Lickin Fifteen!!!

Books that were release in 2009, so far

A Duke of Her Own by Eloisa James
Hunted by P.C. Cast
Blood Promise by Richelle Mead

Evermore by Alyson Noel
Angels' Blood by Nalini Singh

4.5 stars
Don't Bargain with the Devil by Sabrina Jeffries
Sins of a Wicked Duke by Sophie Jordan
Wed Him Before You Bed Him by Sabrina Jeffries
Stargazer by Claudia Gray

The Girl Who Played with Fire
Lisbeth Salander is becoming one of my favorite literary characters. She's up there with Jane Eyre, Elizabeth Benet and Severus Snape!

The Help

Of course, all but one of these titles is from an established series of books that I love.

Deathwish by Rob Thurman
Are These My Basoomas I See Before Me? by Louise Rennison
Twenties Girl A Novel by Sophie Kinsella
You're the One that I Haunt by Terri Garey
Destined for an Early Grave by Jeaniene Frost
Dreamfever by Karen Marie Moning
Thorn Queen by Richelle Mead
The Eternal Prison by Jeff Somers
As Shadows Fade by Colleen Gleason

Tomato Rhapsody A Novel of Love, Lust, and Forbidden Fruit by Adam Schell

Dreamfever
A Duke of Her Own
Tempt Me at TwilightDrood
The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane
Dead and Gone
The Law of Nines
The Devil's Queen A Novel of Catherine de Medici
Cleopatra's Daughter
Wicked All Day

That's all for now. So many of the books I read have already been out awhile before I get to them! I'm sure I'll have maybe a couple more by the end of the year, though.

I'm rather surprised at how many 2009-released books I've read (19), but here are the best:


At Last Comes Love by Mary Balogh
Temptation Ridge by Robyn Carr
Branded by Fire by Nalini Singh
Stay the Night by Lynn Viehl
Hidden Currents by Christine Feehan
Between the Devil and Desire by Lorraine Heath
Then Comes Seduction by Mary Balogh
Night After Night by Kathryn Smith


Joy, I have 3 of your top ones in my TBRs, so that looks promising!

The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane - Katherine Howe
Fool: A Novel - Christopher Moore
Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto - Mark R. Levin
Pygmy - Chuck Palahniuk
The Lost Symbol - Dan Brown

At least those are the only newly published books I seem to have read. I wasn't real thrilled with The Lost Symbol. I did see a couple that I want to check out, including The Kindly Ones and Columbine
