It has been a great reading year! I have read some amazing books and also thrown a few bad ones across the room ;) However it is time for me to look back and pick out the ones that I couldn't put down and can't wait for the next in series. I know it is going to be hard to choose so I am going to pick the best for each month and post them in no particular order. It is a long list...so beware! Of course some may feel that I have missed some books out that were good...but I can't name every single book.

I do have an overall best of 2008. There is a trilogy of books that I read this year that I can't forget about. A set of books that will be staying on my bookshelf forever. They made such an impression that I read all 3 books pratically one after the other because I couldn't get enough. My best read this year has to go to -
The Crow Series by Jeri Smith-Ready
