What I'm Reading: The Best Books I Read in 2009

Time for my annual post of the best books I read this year (from January to December 2009). I have listed the genre for each and the month in which I read it.  Also the links go to my original post on each title, and all posts include multiple readalikes options for each title.

I did not rank these in order, but I will say that the first three I listed were my favorites, for such different reasons (click through on each title for details)

Here we go...my list of the 10 best books I read in 2009:

• The Help by Kathryn Stockett (historical fiction) 10/09
• Steig Larsson's Salander/Blomkvist novels (suspense) 11/09
• Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger (literary fiction) 12/09
• Locke and Key Welcome to Lovecraft and Head Games by Joe Hill (graphic novels) 1/09 and 10/09
