It’s an old question, but a good one . . . What were your favorite books this year?

List as many as you like … fiction, non-fiction, mystery, romance, science-fiction, business, travel, cookbooks … whatever the category. But, really, we’re all dying to know. What books were the highlight of your reading year in 2007?

Don’t forget to leave a link to your actual response (so people don’t have to go searching for it) in the comments—or if you prefer, leave your answers in the comments themselves!

    Here’s my reply:

    BTT: Highlights of 2007

    I put up a list of the most nominated books in last week’s meme. Here’s the link:

    Best of 2007: The Nominees

    Sorry about putting up that link again. I’d put up that link as a comment on last week’s post, but I figured most people wouldn’t be visiting that page again. :) And hope y’all had a wonderful Christmas. Happy holidays.

  66. JenW Says: December 31, 2007 at 10:22 am

    This year I really got into a couple of new authors, Neal Asher and Neil Gaiman (it’s the year of the Nea/ils I think, I also have a Neal Stephenson book on my “soon to read” shelf). So my favorite books for this year are Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman (possibly my favorite book of all time, by anyone) and Gridlinked by Neal Asher (with just about all of the other Polity books in a tie with Gridlinked lol). Both of these are older books and both the author’s first novel, interestingly enough.
