Favorite Reads of 2008

As 2008 is coming to an end, I thought I'd look back on my reading throughout the year and list my favorite reads of 2008.

Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult was my favorite read. I started this on January 1st and finished it a few days later. The book centers around the aftermath of a school shooting. Ms. Picoult also provides the history which led the student down the path of deciding to kill several of his classmates. Over the course of this year, I often thought about this book. It was such an emotional read for me and left me with more questions. This may be one that I will read again in the future. Highly recommended.
