2009 was a pretty great year reading-wise.  I discovered a lot of new authors, new genres, and new favourites!  Here are my favourite reads of 2009 – Literary Fiction, Young Adult Novels and some Fantasy:
The Summoning by Kelley Armstrong / Lover Eternal by J.R.Ward
 Run by Ann Patchett / The People’s Act of Love by James Meek
Midnight Alley by Rachel Caine / Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder
 
Moon Called by Patricia Briggs / The Awakening by Kelley Armstrong
Banishing Verona by Margot Livesy / The Scent of Shadows by Vicki Pettersson
So that was my Top Ten List of the year – what were your favourite reads?

Extract Alert! The Reckoning by Kelley Armstrong

The Reckoning by Kelley ArmstrongKelley Armstrong has posted a sample of the final book in the Darkest Powers trilogy, The Reckoning, on her website! It includes the first three chapters of the last novel – a grand total of 17 pages!

I am nervous about reading it, as I am crazy!excited about reading the entire book. I’m afraid that only having 3 chapters, the suspense may kill me!

If you haven’t read the Darkest Powers Series – I highly recommend them! They are almost too good to review – I could hardly to the series justice. Great read for both the young adult and the young-at-heart!
