The theme of this year was books that became movies or TV shows interspersed with some others because these were books I've been salivating over and just *HAD* to read. And while I didn't get to all of the titles that I wanted to (Next year, Exorcist, Godfather, and Harry Potter, next year!) I thoroughly loved these selections. I've bolded the titles that fit the theme...
I've also linked to the pages of some authors that you may or may not have heard but are so, so, so worth checking out.
So without further adieu, here they are by month that I finished the book.
