1. The Night Circus – Erin Morgenstern
I couldn’t read this fast enough! When I was finished, it became the book by which I judged every other book I read throughout the rest of the year. If you haven’t read it, read it! It’s amazing!
2. Dead End in Norvelt – Jack Gantos
The well-deserved winner of last year’s Newbury Medal. For an extra treat, listen to the audiobook, read by Mr. Jack Gantos himself!
3. Dragons Love Tacos – by Adam Rubin
Dragons love tacos and parties, but not salsa! Seriously, any book that can use a line like “Pantloads of tacos” is a winner. I laughed through this entire book, then cornered anyone else I could find and made them read it as well.
4. The Man Who Ate Everything – Jeffrey Steingarten
A series of essays about food, one of the most notable being dedicated entirely to ketchup. Who knew ketchup was so fascinating?!
5. House of Leaves – Mark Z. Danielewski
Definitely the strangest book I’ve ever read. Beware: it may make you afraid of your house…
