Books

In this category we have four individual books and four authors that I read A LOT of this year. Let's start with the obvious.

Harry Potter series - I reread all the books in preparation for going to the big midnight book release party and then coming home and devouring Book 7. *love*

Meg Cabot - still can't get enough. Also, reading her blog makes me want to be her BFF.

Lisa Jewell

MaryJanice Davidson

Lemonade Mouth - Mark Peter Hughes

The Historian - Elizabeth Kostova

The DaVinci Code - Dan Brown (I almost hate to admit it but I really enjoyed it)

Candy & Me: A Love Story - Hilary Liftin (I love candy too)

The Corset Diaries - Katie MacAlister

Enchanted, Inc - Shanna Swendson

Music

Things were a little different this year. I didn't buy so many new cds and I never got around to listening to all the mp3s from SXSW Showcase Artists which is where I often find a lot of good stuff. But looking back at what was added to my iTunes in 2007, these were the songs I really loved.

Pipettes - Because It's Not Love (But It's Still a Feeling)
Otep - Ghostflowers
Peter, Bjorn, and John - Young Folks
Clutch - Electric Worry
Avril Lavigne - Girlfriend
Static X - Destroyer
Mandy Moore - Gardenia
The Films - Belt Loops
Joss Stone - Tell Me 'Bout It
Megadeath featuring Christina Scabbia - A Tout le Monde
My Chemical Romance - Teenagers
Sanctity - Beneath the Machine
Finger Eleven - Paralyzer
Blaqk Audio - Stiff Kittens
Five Finger Death Punch - The Bleeding
In this Moment - Beautiful Tragedy
That's How You Know from the Enchanted soundtrack
Party in my Tummy from Yo Gabba Gabba!
*and 2 that I don't know how old they are but they're new to me
A Plus D - Hollaback Headhunter mashup
Bettie Serveert - Lover I Don't Have to Love
