Tuesday's Top 5 favorite books i read last year

so my top five has been mostly about movies and tv, today's will be about books. books you say? i am an avid reader, and please don't give me a good book, cause i will be usless till i have read the whole thing. books take over my life, i know i can just put it down and pick it back up where i left off, nothing will have changed (well it shouldn't, and if you don't know what i mean read number on my list), but for some reason, i can not put down the book till i have found out what happened. now if i don't have time to read i try not to even start a book, cause seriously they are like drugs to me. lol ol (monk reference!) so here we go




my top five books i have read in the past year

1. The Eyre Affair - (all the thursday next novels in general) wonderful book by jasper fforde, really great, i love thursday, she is my hero, i can't wait till the next one comes out.

2. Boneshaker - great steampunk book, i love steampunk, i love everything about neo-victorian-post apocalyptic. but if you are not steampunk crazy like i am i think you will still enjoy this book, it is set in seattle 20 years after the civil war SHOULD have ended. really enjoyable if you like altered history, or just a really good zombie book, yes zombies, i can't hardly get enough of them!

3. Go-Go Girls of the apocalypse - loved it so much, not so much the apocalypse, but a good read. the other books by this author look great too, can't wait to read them

4. Odd Hours - i love odd thomas, i have read all of his books, well they are books by dean konnz, but every one with odd is great. the skills he has with the dead are great, ones i personally would not give money or love to have.

5. Fables - they are a series of graphic novels. for anyone who ever read fairy tales as a child, or had the stories told to them. the fables, or fairy tales are refugees and are living in new york city, they have a block to themselves, and it is called fabletown, fables who can't pass as mudy's (mudane humans) or can't afford glamours have to live on the farm in upstate new york where no one can see them. i love this series and would recommend it to everyone who read them as a child.
