A list of some of the best books I've read this year. Or, the ones I can remember having read this year. I'm a book fanatic. Not obvious, ain't?

  • The Athenian Murders. It makes you feel like someone's watching you. Totally freaky.
  • The Breaker by Minette Walters. Had me up until about 5am because I couldn't sleep --it was freaking me out that much.
  • Bakit Baliktad Magbasa ng Libro ang Pinoy? by Bob Ong. Utterly hilarious.
  • White Oleander by Janet Fitch. Poetry and brilliance.
  • Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood. A bit hard to get through, but worth it.
  • Tennyson's Gift by Lynne Truss. Nonsensical fun.
  • Book Thief by Marc Zusak. I am now in love with Death.
  • Alice in Wonderland, and Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carol. Why did I wait so long to read these?!
  • Stargirl, and Love, Stargirl, both by Jerry Spinelli. So pretty. :)
  • Sexy by Joyce Carol Oates. Kinda disturbing, but pretty good.
  • Looking For Alaska by John Green. I laughed, I cried, I loved.
  • Inkdeath by Cornelia Funke. What an ending, I say.
  • Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare. Definitely one of my favorites by The Bard.
  • Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides. Surprising, in a good way.
  • The Geek Shall Inherit The Earth by Carljoe Javier. Name sound familiar? Haha. It was witty, if short.
  • Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. Intriguing.

And those are just the ones I can remember! I've read so much this year. :)) Burning my eyes out but who cares --books are my oxygen. Without them, I would cease to exist, because first and foremost, I am a girl of words.
