  1. Thank you for the giveaway opportunity.

    My favorite 2011 Read was a tie between both 'Fifty Shades Darker' and 'Shadowfever'. I always judge a good read for me by how long I stay caught up in the feel of the book long after I've finished it and the fact that I could not put it down when I was reading it.

  2. My favorite book of this year was Ghost Story by Jim Butcher. I had been looking forward to it for almost a year and it was amazing.I cant stop being half in love with the Stalwart, slightly reckless character of Harry Dresden Happy New Year.

  5. My favorite read of 2011 was NEVERWHERE by Neil Gaiman. He created a world beneath London, & characters, that were brilliant to read about. Very original & absorbing.

  9. My fave read for 2011 was First Grave on the Right by Darynda Jones. I LOVED it because it was fun but had suspense. I love Charley's snarky sense of humor. And it didn't hurt that Reyes was HOT!!! LOL

  16. One of my favorite books of 2011 was Bound for the Forest by Kay Berrisford. It was an m/m fantasy romance set in historical England. I really enjoyed the characters which were well written.

  18. So I do not forget: network blog: Sandy Lion or GFC:sdylion and my email: sdylion(at)gmail(dot)com

    Now for the good stuff:
    I read so many good books this year from so many good authors but Shadowfever from Karen Marie Moning was the uber novel for me of 2011. She is an amazing author and this final chapter as well as the characters makes you want to re-read every book in the series all over again.

  19. I dont have one favorite. But one of them is Gabriels Inferno. I was hooked from the beginning and didnt want to stop reading it and it was one of those books that I really missed when I was finished.
