Italicized books are  rereads. it's quite difficult for me to pick my favorites, i read a lot of really good books this year. but i really loved the Twilight series, the new Eragon book (Brisingr), anything by Brandon Sanderson and Maus. also, i read a lot of Newbery winners, most were pretty good.

books, 2008, newbery award
