What I said:
A powerful and heartbreaking book...one that details a defining, but often overlooked period of history.
Sepetys prose is simple and sparse...marvelously suited to this story that although harrowing, is also somehow beautiful.
This is a story that deserves to be told, and I can’t recommend it highly enough.
What I said:
Ghostly, gothic, haunting and menacing, this book reeled me in and didn’t let me go until I was done.

Tighter is spooky, shocking and unputdownable. It will play on your mind long after you finish it. A must read!
What I said:
...an intense, exciting slice of apocalyptic awesomeness...
A survival story with chaos, anarchy murder and mayhem at its core, Dark Inside is not for the faint of heart, but since horror is my first love, I couldn’t get enough of this book!
Read this book... It will make you so happy!
The One I'll be reading in 2012:
What I said:
The boys of Unearthly are to die for.
In Unearthly, Cynthia Hand combines romance, mystery, intrigue, wonderful plot twists that I so didn’t predict, and great characters that I truly warmed to.
An intoxicating blend of action and romance, Angel Fire is an impeccably researched and beautifully written book which is an emotional rollercoaster of a ride from start to finish.
What I said:
If you loved Angel, you will adore Angel Fire.
#6 - Clarity by Kim Harrington
#7 - Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor
#8 Passion by Lauren Kate
#9 - Amy & Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson

The One that got away in 2010:
Released in late 2010, I didn't get around to reading ANNA until 2011 and it fast became one of my all time favourite books, hence the honourable mention!
What I said:
The One I'll be reading in 2012:
Whenever I admit I haven't read Divergent my book buddies tend to react with complete shock, disbelief even, and at this point I really feel like I'm missing out. Dystopian fiction isn't a huge favourite genre of mine (even though it's so hot right now, I know, I know!), but I've heard such good things about this one that I'll just have to check it out!
What do you think of my choices!
