I'm working on my "Best Books I read in 2008" blog for sometime in December (see last year's list here), but I was curious, if you had to create a similar post, what would you include? Think back - What were the best books you read in 2008?
The Dive from Clausen's Pier The Time Traveler's Wife Water for Elephants Hanna's Daughters The Glass Castle Eat, Pray, Love New Moon (I liked this one even better than Twilight!)
Are you close to hitting your novel-writing/ word count goal? I noticed on Willikat's blog that you spent a lot of time writing this weekend! ;)
What is the What Mountains Beyond Mountains A Thousand Splendid Suns Infidel The Namesake The Year of Magical Thinking Helter Skelter The Freedom Writers' Diary (so amazing, not at all cheesetastic) Animal, Vegetable, Miracle
Good thing for Goodreads!!! That helped make this list. There were lots o' others that were pretty great too, but this year I read some lifechanging books.

(Like CMS, I also listed The Glass Castle for a while, but it ended up moving off the list as the year progressed.)
What is the What
Mountains Beyond Mountains
A Thousand Splendid Suns
Infidel

I would say by far it would be The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society.
Of course much of my time was spent with the Twilight Saga.
