Monday's Month In Retrospect

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 May 2011. Remember, these are my best ofs on books I read last month, regardless of release date.  I have to warn you.... this Month in Retrospect in May 2011 is going to be like one of those years where a single movie sweeps the Oscars.

Best Book I read last month: 

The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins
Release Date:  Been out.
Why it was my favorite: Wow!!  This was a phenomenal book series.
Reviewed: Yes. See review here.

Best Heroine:
Katniss from The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
Why she's my favorite:  This is not only my favorite heroine Best of for May 2011, but one of my favorites of all time.  You can't help but love this girl, she's so strong.

Best Hero:
Peeta from The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
Why he's my favorite:  So sweet.  So brave.  Sooooo in love with Katniss.  Gotta love that.

Best Villain:
President Snow in The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

What made them a great villain: This was a very bad man.  Evil!

 

Best Cover: (Okay, I get to give you something besides Hunger Games here.)

Why it's my favorite: This is a really neat cover.  You can see the image of the girl blending into the water and becoming part of it which, considering the story, makes a lot of sense.  I love how they did this cover.

Come on and join me! Share your Best Ofs for May!
