I loved Lady Sophie's Christmas Wish, I finished it in a day and then was sad it was over.
Oh, darn it, every time I think I'm done buying books for awhile, someone goes and tells me about another good one. (Usually Melanie or someone on this board!)
I've read a lot of fabulous books this year. Kristan Higgins new book is definitely on my list of faves for this year:
I agree with Eloisa James - this one is also on my list, plus another book by a debut author:
Dragon Bound (Elder Races Series #1)
I hadnt started thinking about my years favorites yet. but at the top of the list would have to be:
Never a Gentleman (Drake's Rakes Series #2)
Head on over to Heart to Heart for a paranormal-heavy best-of list from Marisa!
Daybreak (Dark Age Dawning Series #3)
I'll post my picks tomorrow both here and at H2H, but close followers of this board probably already know them. 
It shouldn't surprise anyone that my favorite read this year was Kristan Higgins'
I was writing about the story for Heart-to-Heart and got choked up! What a book! Thinking of that scene at the end between Harper and her stepmother brings me to tears. I just loved it...

Melanie, I know what you mean. It's not often that you can still recall scenes from a book you've read a while ago, I reviewed this title in March of 2011 and I still laugh and cry and cringe at some of the things that happened. Thanks for your article in the Romance Blog it was great.
Happy Holidays to you and all my friends here at Romance

Hi Melanie - Fortunately ('cause it won't cost me anything at the moment) or unfortunately this has been languishing in my TBR pile - it just moved up !!!

I LOVE the way Lisa Dale writes!
This book of hers made it to my "best of" list a year or two ago:
Becke, do you have the new one? I have a copy here and it's at the top of my pile, though there are so many good books to read this week!
No, but I have it on pre-order. Have you read anything of hers? I love the way she builds a deeply romantic plot, twisting things so you can't imagine how it's ever going to turn out right in the end. But, be assured, it does - and in believable ways. Her books always land on my keeper shelves.
