The desperation and the joy: endless hour of the last minute is up on us! I've put together this quick list of my favorite books from this year. Perhaps you will find a bit of inspiration within these digital stacks for your own shopping. If you have suggestions of your own, please leave the titles and authors in the comments section! All images link to Amazon. Graphic NovelsSome of these my kids introduced me to. Some I stumbled onto at comic cons. Each of them showed a flair for storytelling that I found endearing and just a little bewitching. There's some amazing work being done out there. My graphic novel TBR pile is gargantuan! (PS - MOnstress is not intended for children.) Kids / Young Adult BooksThe first two my son passed along to me from Oregon Battle of the Books. The others I got from author talks. THE HONEST TRUTH is a book I will probably remember for the rest of my life. All of them, however, stayed with me for a long time after I finished them. FolkloreMy day wouldn't be complete without a couple articles from Archeology Magazine and a couple of hits of folklore. The Russian book has some gorgeous paintings for the illustrations. And the Norse book is, of course, by Neil Gaiman and I could swim in it for days! NonfictionI read a ton of business-related material every day, but most of it isn't in book format. These two by Mike Michalowicz are brilliant, though. (Even if he does get a little slap-happy with his chosen metaphor in book one...) Grown Up BooksThis summer I loaded up on the all the classic books in my genre that I've never gotten around to reading, but really want to. But above even those, these two book are coming with my on my holiday vacation. I dearly love both of these authors and have heard awesome things about their books. I can't wait! Hope that helps with your shopping! If you have any suggestions for me or the rest of the reader group, please share them in the comments section! Have a great holiday!
