2011 Mundie Moms Favorites: Top Reads of 2011


It's the last day of 2011 and the last day of our 2011 Mundie Moms Favorites! This year was a stellar year for YA book releases. We've gone on adventures back in time, we've time traveled, gone to futuristic cities, fell in love with beautifully rewritten fairy tale classics, spent time with wolves, vampires, angels and our favorites, the Shadowhunters. There's many more adventures we've taken and new characters we've met this year that we've completely fallen in love with.

Here's our Favorite Books of 2011:

  1. So many great books. I actually didn't do any favorite posts because I am so indecisive I could never pick my tops of anything. Thank you for sharing, and Happy New Year!!

  2. Great list of books and WTG Katie on the book reading. I didn't even reach 100. I should finish book 97 today. Hubby working out of town during the week has hindered my availability to read - taking care of 4 kids alone, is a lot of work. LOL

  3. Amy- It's funny you say that, because it don't like listing books, because I always feel like I leave books off the list, and yet every year I do a list. LOL It really is hard to list all the great books that I read this year.

    Amber- You are a rock star! I don't know how you do it. I've often times had my 2 by myself with my husband working long hours. *bows to your awesomeness* Really if I didn't have such bad insomnia this year there is no way I would have read even close to that many books.

  4. Thanks for sharing all of these lists- I am sure it took time to get them all together and posts made. It was a lot of fun to read and check every day!

    Happy New Year ladies!
