My favorite of 08 was not on your list, so I hope you read it in 09.
ReplyDeleteIt's called Ghostgirl by Tonya Hurley and is a very intriguing book. I also started read I'd Tell You I Love You, but Then I'd Have to Kill You, The Lovely Bones, Ana's Story, 5 books in the Gossip Girl Series,Someone Like You, This Lullaby, Dreamland(another one of my 08 faves), A Friend at Midnight,The Virginity Club, and more I can't think of! Happy New Year!
