In hopes of kickstarting my blogging again, I'm going to compile my best of list for 2008. The only requirement for inclusion for this list is that I finished it in 2008 - copyright date is irrelevant.
Here, in no particular order besides, perhaps, the order I read them in, are my favorite books of 2008:
Tithe: A Modern Faerie Tale by Holly Black
Becky: The Life and Loves of Becky Thatcher by Lenore Hart

I loved Absolutely True Diary! Moloka'i is one I'm planning on reading next year. I've heard so many good things about it.
Nice list! I also loved Snow Flower, The Graveyard Book, The Mistress of the Art of Death and The Book of Lost Things. Isn't it nice to look back over the books you read in the previous year and enjoyed?
I love seeing end of year reading lists - always find new books to add to my list :)
I did read Heart-Shaped Box this year and was pretty wowed by it.
Chain Reader - Moloka'i was ohsogood! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
Lisa and Iliana - I agree with you both! It's great to see what you enjoyed and fun to find so many more to look forward to!
I liked Tithe and Mistress of the Art of Death too. I loved the movie Stardust and I've been wanting to read it since.
