Announcing the Sonderbooks Stand-outs for 2009 -- The books I read in 2009 that I most enjoyed.

After a year of reading, these are the books that stand out in my mind and make me smile.

I will divide the books into categories, so I don’t have to compare dissimilar books. Within each category, I’ve ranked the books by how much I enjoyed them. Each category except Rereads, that is. This year I revisited some of my all-time favorite books, some on audiobooks, and I don’t have the heart to rank any of them as less than Number One. But I want to call them Stand-outs, because they do stand out. So I’m listing them in alphabetical order by author.

Here are my favorite reads from 2009. I hope you enjoy them, too!

Happy Reading!
