I'm a snob. I"ll admit it right out in the open. I'm a book snob. I love books, but not the dry, decrepit and boring fare the New York Times deems literary. Nope. I like commerical, entertaining and fun books!

So, don't be shocked that my thirteen best book list bares no resemblence to its hundreds of cousins "best of" lists published online and in print right now.

Nope. This is mine opinion of the best books I've read in 2007. You may feel free to disagree. Isn't that why there's a comments section?

1. Harry Potter and the Deadly Hallows- J. K. Rowling
2. T is for Trespass- Sue Grafton
3. A Few Demons More-Kim Harrison
4. Vegas Bites by L.A. Banks et all (anthology)
5. Danse Macabre by Laurell K. Hamilton
6. Skin Deep by Marilyn Lee
7. Thief Lord by Cornelia Funke (YA)
8. Bound by Moonlight by Angela Weaver
9. Master of the Moon by Angela Knight
10. The Ruins of Gorlan (Ranger's Apprentice, Book 1) by John Flanagan (YA)
11. Now and Then by Robert B. Parker
12. Ranger's Apprentice: The Burning Bridge by John Flanagan (YA)
13. Broken Angels by Richard Morgan

YA-Means young adults. You may wonder why so many of my best of list is YA titles and it's because I'm a school teacher. Yes, I am. I read a lot of YA during our SSR time so that I am knowledge when recommending a book to a student. I also enjoy them. :-)

Best and happy New Year...
