books on my mind

I love the weekly bookish questions from Top Ten Tuesday Reading Meme at Broke & Bookish. This week, I had to think about 10 books that I had strong emotions about. As usual, I focused on the books I read this year (2011).

10 Books Published in 2011 That Invoked Strong Emotions in Me

The Evolution of Bruno LittlemoreTriptychAs She Climbed Across the Table

1. The Evolution of Bruno Littlemore, Benjamin Hale . A woman has a relationship with a ... chimp - really?!

2. Triptych, J.M. Frey. A man, woman & alien have a 3some relationship - really?!

3. As She Climbed Across the Table, Jonathan Lethem. A woman falls in love with a ... void - again, really?!

Warm BodiesDeliriumThe Night Circus

4. Warm Bodies, Isaac Marion. Zombie and human love - hmmm?!

5. Delirium, Lauren Oliver.Love against very strong odds - I can relate.

6. The Night Circus, Erin Morgenstern. Would I be willing to give up everything for love?!

The Last WerewolfDeliriumThe Glass Castle

7. The Last Werewolf, Glen Duncan. A whiny, suicidal werewolf - not a good look. I thought of werewolves as strong, powerful creatures.

8. Don't Breathe a Word, Jennifer McMahon. Fantasy or reality - I love how the book had me questioning which it was, right until the unexpected ending

9. Forever, Maggie Stiefvater. Not as good as the 1st 2 books in the trilogy - and I get being depressed when there are love problems, but it's like this dude lost all will to have a life! Ughhh.

10. The Tiger's Wife, Tea Obreht. It seems that I rarely enjoy books that win the prestigious book awards.

Agreed about Forever, definitely one emotional and depressing series. Can't wait until Pandemonium!!! I can't believe how Lauren Oliver left us hanging, holy freaking cliffhanger!
