I'm afraid that this year you and I don't share any books in common on our list, but I did love the Hunger Games books (they qualified for me last year, so I couldn't list them for 2011).

The Hunger Games is a fantastic trilogy. I need to reread it. I haven't read it since Mockingjay was first released.

Yay, we share some :) also, I love the little poem from the Hobbit in your side bare. Didn't enjoy the book that mich but the poem is awesome.

The Help and The Winter Sea are both on my list for this year. I am becoming a fan of Susanna Kearsley. I love The Hunger Games Trilogy and I read Austenland last year. I thought it was excellent. I know Austenland is being made into a movie but I don't know that it will be as good as the book. The Uncommon Reader is one I enjoyed too.

I've been wanting to read The Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet and hopefully I'll get to it in 2012. Great list!

I read most of the Hunger Games trilogy last year, but saved Mockingjay for just recently. The first is still my favorite, however.

Hope you had the merriest of Christmases and wishing you a wonderful 2012!
