So this week's topic is to come up with a best books released in 2008 list. so far i've read 82 books, 26 were nonfiction and 64 were from the library. Of those though, only perhaps a dozen (maybe less) were from this year. Here are the 5 best, with the score I gave them at the time. I had another couple of 6's but didn't feel they were as good as the three 6's here.
In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan-7, non-fic
Duma Key by Stephen King-7
The Dracula Dossier by James Reese-6, though i don't know if it counts as it isn't out yet!
Bonk by Mary Roach-6, nonfic
Child 44 by Tom Rob Smith-6
So there!
I forgot to add Duma Key to my list, it was such an enjoyable read.
ReplyDeleteBonk is on my TBR list, I really liked Roachs' last two books and this one sounds so interesting.
Duman Key and Child 44 made my list too. I don't read a lot of non-fiction so I miss out on many of those. I did read Roach's first books and although it was funny it still weirded me out. I would probably like her other books that aren't about dead bodies :D
ReplyDeleteI'm reading an ARC of The Dracula Dossier, and I'm enjoying it so far (I'm about halfway in). I definitely think it would count--it's going to be published next week, I think.
ReplyDeleteI really want to read Child 44 - but probably won't get to it this year...
