I’ve already dedicated an earlier post this week to my upcoming reading in 2012, but I wanted to give a little love to the books I have read this past year. Part of this was inspired by a literary blog that found me (thanks Cassie), and hence I started reading her blog, which led me to this post.

I want to say there are a few more, but I can’t think of them right now. I’ll be sure and update the post with links and reviews later on. What have you read in 2011?
My favorites of 2011: Magic Hour (Kristin Hannah), Breaking The Silence (Diane Chamberlain), Night Road (Kristin Hannah), The Perks of Being A Wallflower……and tons more that I can’t think of right now. Happy reading! 🙂
I’ve heard of a couple of those, probably will add them to my 2012 list! Thanks for reading 🙂
Unbroken and Bonhoeffer are both on my list,as well. Have you read Erik Larson’s “In the Garden of Beasts”? An excellent companion piece to Bonhoeffer.
I have not read Larson’s book, heard good things though. I shall add to my list of 2012 books to read. Loved Unbroken though, just an amazing story. Hillenbrand is a master storyteller as well, which only makes it better.
