Out of the books I read that year, it's honestly REALLY hard to choose a favorite.
Actually, I really liked all of them! I do remember being a little disappointed with the ending of The Story of Edgar Sawtelle though, but thought that the book was otherwise beautifully written.
If I had to pick a top three for the year, they would be The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, The Help, and Water for Elephants.
Here is the complete list of books that I read in 2009:
- The Kite Runner
- Chinese Cinderella: The True Story of an Unwanted Daughter
- Water for Elephants: A Novel
- A Thousand Splendid Suns
- The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
- The Story of Edgar Sawtelle: A Novel
- The Queen's Fool: A Novel
- The Memory Keeper's Daughter: A Novel
- The Help
Have you read any of these books? Which was your favorite and why?
