1. Kushiel's Mercy, Jacqueline Carey (2008)
Of course I go to double-check on Amazon that I have the title and year right, and she already has a new book (and Tanya Huff's latest book is up for pre-order, which I knew, but knowing that is not the same as getting whiplash from "ZOMG must have" for both of them...).
Hi. I'm Alex. And I'm an addict...
2. Freakin' Fabulous: How to Dress, Speak, Behave, Eat, Drink, Entertain, Decorate, and Generally Be Better than Everyone Else, Clinton Kelly (2008)
I love Clinton Kelly and want to be him.
3. Schooled, Gordon Korman (2008)
Technically, I started this in 2008, read 3/4 of it in one evening at Patrick's aunt's, and only finished it in 2009 because Amazon couldn't ship it out to me until the end of January. Technically, it is also a children's book. It's totally awesome and I recommend it as a general rule.
4. Nation, Terry Pratchett (2008)
I was totally charmed by this book. You know what made it better? This article. Please don't ask me to explain why, I'll just have to ineffable at you.
