Loved Lovestruck Summer and Going Too Far. I've been trying to find more books with cops in them like Going Too Far. No luck. Only Stealing Heaven by E. Scott and I've already read that!!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome and diverse list. Can't wait to catch up on the ones I missed.
ReplyDeleteBlue Plate Special is getting lots of buzz...will have to check it out.
ReplyDeleteThe only one I've read is Willow and I thought it was great too.
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I need to read Willow.
ReplyDeleteSo many on your list I have not read, several I have not heard of...and Willow that I REALLY want to read - but I just finished Going Too Far and I totally agree what an amazing book! :) Great pick!
ReplyDeleteI'll admit I haven't read any of these but I love reading your list for just that reason- getting to hear about lots new great books! :-)
ReplyDeleteI loved Going too Far, such a amazing book. And I finished Willow today, but if I had read it last year, it would so have made my best of 2009 list!!! Vinyl Princess sounds amazing, oh and guess what!! nowhere in the UK stocks Empire Records....i've had to buy it from i tunes!! I couldn't decide what to read next but this has decided it for me, I am so reading The Season :-)
ReplyDeleteI hearted Willow and The Season too!
ReplyDeleteI really need to get Going Too Far- I keep seeing it on a lot of lists.
ReplyDeleteI liked Willow too.... it was so well done for her pain
The Season is also one of my favorites. I loved it!
ReplyDeleteThe Season was also one of my favorites, although I didn't put it on my list beacause I read an early copy in late 2008. I'm really hoping for a sequel someday!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great list of fun books! I plan to read The Happiness Project as soon as I can get my hands on a copy. Her blog is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading in 2010!
Wow, lots of great books!
ReplyDeleteI just bought Willow, and I can't wait to read it--I've heard it's amazing.
Happy Reading :)
Yay for having favorites in common! :D
ReplyDeleteI just bought Outer Suburbia and WILLOW is on my best of 2009 list. Thank you for encouraging me to read it and thanks to Julia for being such a great person.
ReplyDeleteThere are a couple on this list that I've got to get to reading out of my TBR pile. Then a couple I need to actually get to add to it, haha. I'm debating on The Happiness Project but am leaning more and more towards it.
ReplyDeleteGreat list!
I havent read any of these books. Wow. adding to the tbr.
