Countdown of my favorite books – part 10.

By on December 30, 2011 in book reviews

The last day of the countdown, folks! I’ll be back from my break next week. I couldn’t end this countdown without including these next two books.

THE LIAR SOCIETY by Lisa and Laura Roecker

If you can’t tell I’m a big fan of humor balanced by a great plot and a moving story. And this story is exactly what I love to read. And yes, I loved this book. Can’t wait for the sequel.

UNCOMMON CRIMINALS by Ally Carter

I had to group these two books together. Funny. Terrific plotting. But most of all, an inner journey of the main character that counts. Ally Carter pulls off what is hard to do: balancing the humorous with the serious.

Hope you enjoyed my countdown! I’ll be back next week. Don’t get me wrong. I loved many many books that I didn’t mention. This has been a great year of reading for me. But, for some reason, the books I mentioned stayed with me.

Now the question is -what are the most anticipated books of 2012.

    I just borrowed Heist Society by Ally Carter from the library, and I’m very excited to read it. I’ve heard such great things about Carter’s books! I want to read the Liar Society, too – I’ve also heard fantastic things about that one.

    Thanks for sharing your favorite books with us! It brought to mind a lot of books I have seen throughout the year, made a mental note to read, and then promptly forgot about. Now I have them securely on my Goodreads “to read” shelf!

    I’ve really enjoyed you countdown. Those books are on my to-read list. I hope I can get to them in 2012. One of my goals is to read more. It’s good that I can read while on the exercise equipment–because that’s a goal, too. lol

    Happy New Year!

    Thank you for the countdown. It helped me focus my TBR list. I’m anxious to read A MILLION SUNS by Beth Revis. Happy reading and writing in 2012.

    I just read The Liar Society last week, and I LOVED it. It was such a fun read. I too am counting down to the sequel.
