On the second night of Hanukkah, Smart Bitches gave to me: a WiFi Paperwhite so when I read in the dark I can see!
I'm giving away one supah-sexay Wi-Fi Kindle Paperwhite with Special Offers at random to someone in the comments.
Just tell us what book you enjoyed most this past year!
Standard disclaimers apply: I'm not being compensated for this giveaway. Void where prohibited. Must be 18 years of age and open to the possibility of Pajama Jeans to win. Open to international residents.
You have 24 hours to leave your comment, and we'll have a new piece of mayhem each day of Hanukkah. Now, I'm going to figure out how to make a menorah out of nine Paperwhites. Someone pass me the tape.
Riveted by Meljean Brooks was my favorite Romance. I loved The Last Nude by Ellis Avery as well.
I enjoyed The Power of Habit!
I loved THe FAULT IN OUR STARS by John Green for my favorite book of 2012.
About Last Night by Ruthie Knox. Loved how she took such opposite people and made the passion rock my socks off!
Duchess by Night by Eloisa James!
‘Gone Girl’ just for the middle of the book that makes you go ‘wait what?’.
I had to check but I’ve read nine five star books this year. If I only have to pick one it’ll be the Finnish translation of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy because after that I started devouring le Carré‘s work nonstop for months.
Most recently though, What the Librarian Did might have introduced me to my newest favourite romance author: Karina Bliss.
A book that was actually published in 2012? Seraphina by Rachel Hartman.
I really liked Kristen Ashley’s At Peace and Heaven and Hell but the book I enjoyed that was published this year is Thea Harrison’s Oracle Moon.
This is hard. I think that it sheer quantity of enjoyment I’d have to pick my month-long binge of Suzanne Brockmann’s Troubleshooters series. If I can pick a whole series. If you’d force me to pick just one book, my head would explode, I’ve read some really good books this year from a variety of genres, in two languages, which makes compating difficult.
Aaargh! Only one book??? I might have to go with Captain Vorpatril’s Alliance on this one. Even though it had a few flaws, I awaited it so eagerly that it added to the enjoyment.
Table for Five by Susan Wiggs. I liked it so much I bought the audio book!
What I Did for a Duke by Julie Anne Long
Loretta Chase, Lord of Scoundrels. I know it’s not new, but it was my first time and the best book of the year for me.
I loved Lunch in Paris!
Re-reading my Ilona Andrews collection, discovering Thea Harrison and G.A. Aiken.
this is so difficult! I could name my disappointing book of the year, my surprise I really liked it book of the year, but my favorite? I may have to say it was Stephanie Lauren’s Earl of Glencrae. I was ridiculously excited by this triple pack adventure ending with this book, happy with the more “unusual” direction the heroine took, and found the hero totally redeemed from my earlier uncertainties about liking his book at all.
Not my typical fare, but I really really enjoyed Gone Girl. Stayed up till 4 am to finish it!
Eloisa James’ The Ugly Duchess and Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? Because Mindy Kaling is hilarious.
What new book did I enjoy? I’ve really loved the EDGE series books by Ilona Andrews. Kaldar Mar is my favorite Bad Boy.
The Chaperone was the book for me this year. When I got to the end, I was actually a little misty eyed and had to go over it again.
Getting Red-Hot With The Rogue by Ally Blake…this is a great to-read list for next year 😉
Gone Girl was really good. I hated the major characters, but it was good.
One of my favorite books this year Lover Reborn! There are so many to choose from…
Lothaire, by Kresley Cole. Love the Immortals After Dark!
Oh gosh, only ONE?? Then I guess I’m gonna have to go with The Crown of Embers by Rae Carson. And Throne of Glass, A Rogue by Any Other Name, Code Name Verity and Touch of Power as honorable mentions. 🙂
Susan Mallery’s Fool’s Gold series. And my re-reads of all the Jennifer Cruisies I own.
Going with a series I was extremely reluctant to read but once I got started I was addicted… Fifty Shades of… read all three in 2 days… I know I shouldn’t admit it but wow I actually lurved it:)
I’m going with First Grave On The Right by Darynda Jones!
Gosh. So hard to decide. If I have to pick one, I’ll go with Sylvia Day’s BARED TO YOU. There were so many good books this year, though, that choosing one isn’t right.
In terms of romance, it would be some sort of tie between Easy by Tammara Webber, Her Best Worst Mistake by Sarah Mayberry, and A Lady by Midnight by Tessa Dare. It was a good year for reading.
I think I liked Ready Player One the best. It’s pretty far from what I typically read, but I read it in January and found myself thinking about it occasionally throughout the entire year.
Loose Screws by Karen Templeton was a recently enjoyable read 🙂
“Warm Bodies” by Isaac Marion. Not really a romance but a damn interesting and different book!
Archangel’s Storm by Nalini Singh. I just love the world Singh has built in her books.
Too hard to pick one for the year, but favorite, most recently, was The Governess Affair by Courtney Milan.
Tina C.
Hands down, Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn! That book blew my mind, it was so intensely on point!
I really enjoyed Jill Shalvis’s new Lucky Harbor books this year…excited that she is writing more of them!
The book that I enjoyed the most was Gunmetal Magic by Ilona Andrews.
My favorite read of the year was DIVERGENT by Veronica Roth. Lots of action and a sweet romance.
loved this one too
