Sixty books. My lowest total in the four years I've been keeping track. 2006 was 116 books, 2007 was 148 book and last year was 131 books. I'm happy to say, however, that the lower number of books this year is a direct effect of my increased life living. My page count for the year is 19,382.
I take it you want my favorite books of the year? Here are my top 10 of 2009:
Runner Up- Lily Dale: The True Story of the Town that Talks to the Dead (Runner up because I had eleven books and the other 10 are all fiction. Also, it's not YA)
10- Storm Glass (#10 because my local B&N shelves it in the adult section. Make sure you read Poison Study and it's two sequels before this one.)
9- Witch High
8- Twenty Boy Summer
7- Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side
6- Radiant Darkness
5- Sophomore Switch
4- The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones
3- Waiting For You (Check out my review of it here.)
2- Along for the Ride
1- Shiver
NOTE: I don't include sequels in this list. Mostly because it's easier for me to choose favorites if I cut out sequels.
So that's my year in books. And my last update for the year. Remember, I'm always looking for additions to all my lists, so let me know if I'm missing a book/something/someone. And have a great year.

Secret Society by Tom Dolby
-Secret Society, back cover
I just finished reading an ARC of Tom Dolby's Secret Society. Set in New York City, it is the story of 4 students at one of Manhattan's most elite private schools. Nick is the son of one of the city's wealthiest families, hoping to amount to something of his own choosing- club promotion. Phoebe is a recent transplant from LA and an aspiring artist. Lauren is a teenage socialite whose interest in fashion is something more than the shallow amusement of her peers. Patch comes from a family of faded prominence and is hoping his filmmaking skills will get him some of the privileges sees his fellow students abuse.
When three of the four high school juniors are tapped as Initiates of the Society, everyones lives begin to change. First comes the privilege, as gifts and oppurtunities come their way effortlessly. Then comes fear, as they realize how much influence the Society has over their lives, and those of everyone around them. As the situation becomes fatal; Nick, Phoebe, Lauren and Patch have to decide who to rely on, and whether it is safe to cross the Society.
I've had an interest in secret societies for years, so when the oppurtunity came to get my hands on a book about them, I jumped on it. I began reading as soon as the book showed up at my door. The characters are a bit cliched, but the situation they are thrust into is unique and the way they deal with things is realistic. I would definitely reccommend this book looking for an entertaining read that isn't complete fluff.
*Contest: In Secret Society, the Society tattoos all Initiates with a small Ankh on the back of their necks. The Ankh is an Egyptian symbol for life. I'll be giving away an ARC of Tom Dolby's Secret Society, signed by the author. In order to be entered in the contest you must identify the following 3 symbols, their cultute of origin and their meaning. Comment with the answers to be entered.

I Can't Write Book Reviews
I just finished reading Waiting for You by Susane Colasanti. It came out earlier this month and has been on my Amazon Wishlist since I stumbled across her blog on LiveJournal a few months ago. Since this not a book review, I should let you know that more information on Waiting for You is available here.
I usually avoid books where the main character is suffering from some sort of mild or severe mental illness, be it depression, attention deficit disorder, anxiety disorder or any other thing that qualifies a person as "messed up." When I read books with these kinds of characters, I need the voice and the experience to be authentic. Maybe it's just the books I happen to have read, but there's always something that seems just slightly off.
Usually it's the amount of focus that's put on whatever disorder the character suffers from. A lot of characters seemed defined by what makes them messed up. They exhibit symptoms constantly and always have their medical problems on their minds. As far as my experience goes, this just isn't authentic.
The lack of focus on Marisa's anxiety disorder, is what makes her so relatable for me. She mentions her initial symptoms and past treatment at the begining of the novel. During the middle of the book there are a few brief mentions of things a therapist said and there are times when you can subtly see the anxiety cause her to do things that aren't typical. Everything creeps up slowly and stays in the background. Marisa is much more focused on issues with her boyfriend, changes in her friendship with Sterling and figuring out her relationship with Nash.
And Marisa does hit a low point with her anxiety. However, even as Marisa hit her "rock bottom" she is realizing what's going wrong and taking the actions to fix it. She doesn't wallow in any sort of self despair, and the reader doesn't have to muddle through any flowy, metaphor-ridden passages about how crappy Marisa is feeling.
In short, this is a book with a messed character, not a book about a character being messed up. I recommend Waiting for You to anyone who is looking for a book with a flawed character who is not defined by her flaws. I have read Colasanti's first novel, When it Happens which I enjoyed. I also have copy of her second novel, Take Me There sitting in my room. I will definitely be getting around to that book sooner.
*Side note: I love the cover's of all three of Susane Colasanti's books, with their hidden faces
What Do You Think?: What books do you think handle this kind of subject with well-developed characters? While also being good reads, of course.
