Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about 2009 favourites…
Coming towards the end of April, we’re a third of the way through the way through the year. What’s the favourite book you’ve read so far in 2009? What about your least favourite? (question courtesy of MizB)
PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT with either the link to your own Musing Mondays post, or share your opinion in a comment here (if you don’t have a blog). Thanks.
For the award of ‘best-book-so-far’ my first answer was either March by Geraldine Brooks, or To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee (which I finished about an hour ago)…
… but as they were both re-reads for me, I went back to my list.
I suppose the favourite book I’ve read so far this year (and I haven’t written the review for it yet, which makes me feel a little slack) would have to be John Green’s Looking for Alaska. I only discovered John Green’s books this year, reading An Abundance of Katherines in January (which I also haven’t reviewed – I AM slack), but it was Looking for Alaska that I feel in love with. I’m hitting Paper Towns next.
As for my least favourite… hmmm… that would probably have to be The Origin of Lament by Emma Magenta.
You know, I would have thought that a much easier question to answer, especially seeing as I rate them as I go. But nope, hard to decide. I’m not looking forward to my end of year top 10.
