2009 came out with some really great books! From historical to contemporary to paranormal, and more, there were just amazing reads out there. Some of the books that I read this year came out in previous years but I either didn’t know about them or just hadn’t gotten around to reading them yet.

I went over my reading lists and wanted to share the ones that I thought were exceptional. I know not everyone would agree with me but as I always say – there’s something out there for everyone.

I’ve compiled a list of my favorite reads for 2009. I had to make some sort of cut off for myself so I only included the books I rated 5 out of 5. There were a lot of other books that I rated 4.25 or 4.5 and I really liked those too but as I said – I had to cut it off somewhere! 🙂

There are many different categories here so I put them in alpha order by title. Enjoy!
