Books read in 2009

I have so many books on my shelves right now, I can't wait to dive into- if only there were more minutes in the day to read! Maybe this year I can force myself to finish Villete, wowsers is it hard to get through, but there has to be some literary merit in a Charlotte Bronte book right? What a great group of books for the year:) What were your favorite reads of 2009, or all time for that matter I am always looking for new books?

I can't decide whether on not to read "Hunger Games". I hear that it's intense. Would you recommend it?

Also, you're the second person I know who has mentioned reading "The Lovely Bones" lately. Was that good?

I've mostly read several young adult fantasy series over the past couple of years with Lance, which are a fun escape--"Percy Jackson" 1-5, "Fablehaven" 1-4, "Leven Thumps" 1-4, "The 13th Reality" 1-2, "Septimus Heap" 1-2, "Samuel Blink" 1-2, "The Mysterious Benedict Society" 1-2, "A Series of Unfortunate Events" 1-13, "Far World" 1, "The Ranger's Apprentice" 1, and "The 39 Clues" 1...

This year, I also read "The Lost Symbol" by Dan Brown, "If You Could See Me Now" by Cecelia Ahern, "True Believer" by Nicholas Sparks, "The Candy Shop War" by Brandon Mull, and "Uglies" by Scott Westerfeld. I liked all of those books.

And, of course, I enjoyed the "Harry Potter" series, "Da Vinci Code" and "Angels and Demons" by Dan Brown, and all of Stephenie Meyer's books as well.
