I enjoyed all these books except two (Jane Austen and Ghosts and The Earl). My favorite books, aside from the rereads (which I wouldn't have reread if I didn't really like), were the books whose covers are shown on the right.

I don't know what my favorite book of the year was. Narrowing the choice down to one single book is almost impossible. Did you have a favorite among the books you read this year?
