I haven`t read a book yet this year that I didn`t like, but I just finished One Second After. Read the whole novel over the weekend while playing mom w/ my 2 kids. It`s incredible. It`s not really sci-fi (I personally hate the sci-fi/alien genre), but it`s more of a novel on what would happen if America was hit by a terrorist attack called an EMP Electo-Magnetic Pulse. It`s totally real, could happen but because the EMP Commission Report came out on the same day as the 9/11 Commission Report the media never took off w/ it.

I really like `Eat that Frog`. It`s a self-development book. I usually think those things are kinda cheesey, but it is kinda eye opening in a lot of ways! And a silly read, I enjoyed `God`s Behaving Badly`. It`s about Greek gods in today`s world. Kinda cute!

Best: Song of Ice and Fire: Book Two. All others in the saga were passable, except for Book Four, which was so bad, I almost wanted to throw the book away, but I persevered!!!! Worst: 50 Shades. Primarily because the writing was like fanfic and incredably poor, and the sex scenes were embarrassing, not shocking. I saw a documentary on how this book apparently opened the flood gates to sexuality but let me tell you, I dream in more pornography then was written on one page.....

Best this year Game of Thrones series. Worst I agree 50 shades. About to start reading little women.

I think the best so far is The Sandcastle Girls by Chris Bohjalian. I get advanced reader copies of books, of which this was one. They are often terrible, but the few gems make it worth reading/reviewing them. I loved this one (and I think that it may have been released in stores by now, you should look for it). I love The Shadow of the Wind as well. Dreams of Joy by Lisa See would be my worst `mainstream` book, but there are lots of the aformentioned advanced reader books that are much worse. I get copies to review, but never really hear of them again (evidently other people agree with my assessments!)
