Our favorite 16 books read in 2009

Hi Bloggy Friends,
I compiled a list based on your comments of favorite books read in 2009.
The Road by Cormac McCarthy got 2 votes. I haven't read it, it sounds harsh but evidently brilliant, so I will read it one day.
Flying Troutmans by Miriam Toews
Colony of Unrequited Dreams by Wayne Johnston
Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
The Shack by William P. Young
90 Minutes in Heaven by Cecil Murphey
Women of the Bible (please clarify who is the author, there are several books with this title)
The Sacred Echo by Margaret Feinberg
Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society by Mary Ann Shaffer (commenter plus also one of my 2 favorites, so 2 votes)
Lost Mission by Athol Dickson
Brutal Journey by Paul Schneider
Peace Like a River by Leif Enger (my top favorite)
Homer and Langley by E. L. Doctorow
Steve Berry's Venetian Betrayal, Templar Legacy and Alexandria Link.


This is a list full of intriguing possible TBR titles for us. I am putting Flying Troutmans on my TBR list and Homer and Langley by E.L. Doctorw and will consider all of the others.
If you haven't read 90 Minutes in Heaven by Cecil Murphey, I recommend it and am happy a commenter listed it. It is a true story of a man (Don Piper) who was in heaven after an auto accident, and wow, he describes it as so magnificent. What a beautiful place our Father has created for little ol us.
