It's that time of the month again! Time to take a look back at the previous month and see what I considered the Best Ofs for what I read in January 2011. Remember, these are my best ofs on books I read last month, regardless of release date. Drumroll please!
Best Book I read last month: (Tough choice this month since I read Across the Universe, and The Lipstick Laws last month, which I loved. But in the end, the best book to me was....)
Delirium - Lauren Oliver
Release Date: 2/1/2011.
Why it was my favorite: This was another dystopian, which I've discovered I love. A better question would be what did I not love about this book. Good romance, emotional book, smart, and inventive.
Reviewed: Yes. See review here.
Best Heroine:
Amy from Across the Universe by Beth Revis.
Why she's my favorite: She woke up to one of the most terrifying and difficult situations imaginable but she was strong. I loved her inner strength and how smart she was.
Best Hero:
Delirium has it again with Alex.
Why he's my favorite: How could you not love him? He was kind, patient, and selfless. What he does for the heroine in this story was beyond beautiful.
Best Villain:
Gotta hand it to Tyler and Becca from October Breezes by Maria Rachel Hooley.
What made them great villains: What they were willing to do was unforgiveable, but at the same time, you can see it happening everyday, unfortunately.
Best Cover: (It's a tie!)
Why they're my favorites: The Lipstick Laws is one of the most beautiful, eye-catching, and cute covers I've seen in a while. I love the fact that it's for a debut book of 2011. The House of Night series always seems to have amazing covers, but I love just the contrast between boy skin, tattoos, and those gorgeous black wings.
Those are my picks! Let me know if you'd like to participate and maybe I can make a meme out of it. Until next month!
