Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson was a welcome suprise to me. I usually have a hard time reading fantasy, but was intrigued from the start!

Thanks,
Robyn

Annie Solomon was a new author for me and I really enjoyed Dead Ringer.

I was hugely surprised by RJ Anderson’s ‘Knife’, which I thought would be a sweet but fairly simple story and turned out to deal with some pretty huge questions – I read it six months ago and I still keep thinking about the ending and what it means.

The House of Night books by Cast surprised me. I picked them up not expecting much except for a quick read and ended up devouring the entire series.

Hurrah!

It was definitely The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I had read some buzz online about it but didn’t really pay attention. Then, when I did read it, I was blown away. This is one of the best YA series out there at the moment. Much better than the Twilight Saga, IMO.

Kim Harrison’s “White Witch, Black Curse,” was the book that surprised me most this year. Harrison’s series is one I read and enjoy quite a bit. This is her best one to date. The way she solved a major plot question was surprising, and both satisfying and gut-wrenching. Good question. Thanks for the contests.

I have a deplorable habit of judging books by their covers… and ebooks seem to have worse covers than most. So I was pleasantly surprised by a great read in The Polyamorous Princes by Melodee Aaron.

Thank you for the giveaway – Miranda
