ARMCHAIR BEA- best of 2011

Hey guys! I wish I could be in NYC right now eating hot dogs and fangirling over my fav authors!
But instead, Armchair BEA is pretty nice. I get to sit on my couch and write while my German Shepherds sprint circles around me, my feet aren't killing me, and there's FREE WIFI in my house. (the rumor is NYC hotels charge an arm and a leg and a newborn baby for their wifi) so that's a plus!
Here's my best of 2011 list:

Enclave (Razorland, #1)Across the Universe (Across the Universe, #1)Delirium (Delirium, #1)Wither (Chemical Garden, #1)EntwinedThe Dark and Hollow Places (The Forest of Hands and Teeth, #3)

Share your favs with me!!

    I'm with you on several of these! I absolutely LOVE Delirium and Across the Universe! I haven't been able to read most of the others yet. As for other books that I'm loving this year, Where She Went is definitely high on my list of favorites. I also really liked Divergent by Veronica Roth. :)

    I'm curious about Entwined because of that gorgeous cover and I'm always interested in reading fairy tale retellings. I've seen it in local bookstores here in the Philippines but I'll probably wait for the paperback before I get it.

    Free wifi does make Armchair BEA sound so much better. :)

    I so want to read Delirum and Enclave. They both sound so good. :)

    I can't believe I haven't read ENCLAVE yet. It's just the type of book that is screaming my name.

    I haven't heard of THE DARK AND HOLLOW PLACES - time to go to goodreads!

    DELIRIUM! That book was amazing. And sadly, I haven't read the others. I recently picked up Wither and received Enclave, its nice to know you loved them. I love dystopians. They are so terrifyingly real.

    I read Across the Universe over the weekend and loved it. Entwined is slowly but surely creeping it's way closer to the top of my TBR stack. I'm really looking forward to reading that one.

    Will definitely be following your reviews.

    Thanks so much for stopping by Book Labyrinth! =)

    I've read all of those except 'Entwined', which I will eventually read from the library.

    I did really like 'Enclave', and I thought 'Wither' and 'Delirium' were amazing.

    Those are great picks! The only two I haven't read yet are Enclave and Entwined--I have both of them sitting on my desk at home to read though, so I guess I should get to it! Thanks for dropping by and for the follow. I am now following you too!

  35. SandyMay 25, 2011 at 6:46 AM

    Oh you weren't kidding when you said most of your choices were dystopian xD. Wither was pretty awesome though so I can't blame you for having that up there and I've heard so many great things about Enclave that I can't wait to read it. I also just got Across the Universe so lets hope I enjoy it :).

    Also you're right NYC hotels are ridiculous with their wifi charges.

    Awesome list! I read Delirium last year, and it was FABULOUS. It would've been on my list if I read it this year.

    Thanks for visiting. I'm following you now, too. :-)

    I've only read one on your list - Delirium - and it wasn't love for me, but dystopia isn't really my genre.

    Still, I've heard amazing things about all of the other books and I'm glad you enjoyed them.
