Favourite books of 2011!

As I'm typing this, 2011 is coming to a close; only 7 hours to go. As the last day of the year, Kerrie and I thought it'd be a good idea to post our favourite books for 2011. There were a lot to pick from and it's tough narrowing it down to just a few. We've picked the Top 10 for YA and Top 10 adult books, so here they are (in no particular order).





Top 10 YA
1. Forsaken - Jana Oliver
2. Bloodlines - Richelle Mead
3. Divergent - Veronica Roth

9. Unearthly - Cynthia Hand

10. Shift - Jeri Smith-Ready

Honourable mentions also go out to books I read this year that weren't actually published in 2011 as well as a few that I wanted to add to the list above but were bumped for things I loved a bit more:
