   It’s a tough call, but I’ll say the best book of 2008 was The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson. The worst book I read in 2008 (though it was published prior) was probably a travelogue called The Sex Lives of Cannibals. Totally disappointing.

   Thanks for the contest! I’d love to read this one.

   I absolutely adored Olive Kitteridge (Elizabeth Strout) and hated The Lace Reader. I read a lot of terrific books that come up second, but Olive is the one that really impressed me both by its prose and structure.

   I just found your site. What a great giveaway!

   My Favorite book of 2008 was “The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society” by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows

   My Worst book of 2008 was The Music Teacher by Barbara Hall”. It wasn’t that bad actually, but compared to the others that I read it fits this category the most.

    Okay, best book was “In the Shadow of Lions” by Ginger Garrett, this book introduced me to my love of historical fiction.
    The worst was “Strong at the Broken Places: Voices of Illness, a Chorus of Hope” by Richard M. Cohen, ugh this author was so angery I couldn’t finish the book….each individuals stories were heart breaking and I acked for them yet I couldn’t get past the author’s anger.
    I love to win a copy of this book, I’ve been seeing it everywhere!

    wow, close call. I mean I had a few favs, and I think Lisa Unger’s Black Out was near the top, but I also had a few DNFs… Bee Season by Goldberg was one I had trouble getting in to, A New Lu by Castoro was another… =D

    I would love to get hold of a copy of this.
    I have a couple of favorite books. So as for my #1 favorite book for 2008, that would be Princep’s Fury by Jim Butcher. I dont have a #1 worst book but I did not enjoy Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight.
