The first was THE REDBREAST by Jo Nesbo. The second was THE GUERNSEY LITERARY AND POTATO PEEL PIE SOCIETY. I know, I'm late in getting to that one, but I waited 6 months for it to come from the library. It was worth the wait, though.I also have MIND SCRAMBLER (Chris Grabenstein). I actually read it last year - Chris sent me a copy around Christmas. But it doesn't come out until this June. So, do you think it should be on this year's list?I'm also anticipating some biggies down the pike here: Robert Crais will have a new Joe Pike novel out this year, Michael Koryta will have a new Lincoln Perry, and Michael Stanley will have a new Kubu. Those are sure to compete on the best of list as well! I have two that will contend for a spot on my favorite reads list of 2009. The first was THE REDBREAST by Jo Nesbo.

I just wait until the end of year, look at the books I rated the highest, and determine which ones still strike a chord in me. I can never pick favorites.

There have been a fair number of good books, but not many 'wow' books yet. My favorite so far this year is Ellen Baker’s Keeping the House.
