The best books of 2009

» Posted by on Dec 30, 2009 in What I'm Reading | 7 comments

It’s almost time to say goodbye to 2009, but before we do, I thought I would take the time to list some of my best books of 2009. As I went through the list of books I read this year, I found that some of the best books I read this year were actually published last year, or even years before so they technically wouldn’t qualify for a best of 2009 list.

So, I’m going to do this in two parts. Today’s list is my picks for the best books from this year. Tomorrow, I’ll be posting another list with some other really good books that I read this year, that just happened to have been published in years past.

Without further ado here are my top books for 2009 listed in the order that I read them:

The Scavenger’s Manifesto by Anneli Rufus and Kristan Lawson

Drood by Dan Simmons

Free: The Future of a Radical Price by Chris Anderson

Nobody Move by Denis Johnson

The Eternal Kiss: 13 Vampire Tales of Blood and Desire edited by Trisha Telep

The Dust of 100 Dogs by A. S. King

Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater

Hound by Vincent McCaffrey

The Magicians by Lev Grossman

How to Rob an Armored Car by Iain Levison

Going Bovine by Libba Bray
