Favorites of 2011



Hi everyone! How are you guys? Are you excited for the new year? I am! Whenever a new year approaches, I get really excited to see whats going to happen. It's like a new book...you're not sure what to expect, but you're dying to flip the next page.

Well, I originally planned to have my 'favorites of 2011' to be divided into three separate posts, but time was against me and I had a couple posts I wanted to post beforehand. *sighs* Oh well, I'll just jam pact this post with my three categories of 'favorites'.

Alright, there are three different categories: 1. Music 2. Movies and 3. Books (of course). I nominated about five or so to each 'favorite' and slowly and carefully eliminated one by one until there was a single nominee left. If there was a tie I used Random.org to help me break the tie. ^.^ BY THE WAY, these are of my own personal opinion...shall we begin?

CATEGORY 1: MUSIC

~Favorite Solo Artist of the Year:
Adele


~Favorite Band/group of Artists of the Year:
AZIATIX


~Favorite Song of the Year:
'Party Rockers Anthem' by LMFAO







CATEGORY 2: MOVIES
~Female Movie Character of the Year:
Bulma from Dragonball: Evolution played by Emmy Rossum



~Male Movie Character of the Year:
John Dillinger from Public Enemies played by Johnny Depp


~Movie of the Year:




CATEGORY 3: BOOKS
~Female Book Character of the Year:
Kate Masden from My Dangerous Duke by Gaelen Foley


~Male Book Character of the Year:
Matshuito from The Snow Fox by Susan Fromberg Schaeffer


~Author of the Year:
Gaelen Foley. In 2011, alone, I've read 3 of her books. So far I've kept up and I've read all her books. Right now I'm reading her most recent release My Ruthless Prince.



(Now it's time for the biggie....)
~Book of the Year:
*drumroll*Mistress of Rome by Kate Quinn! I even "casted" this book, click here to see who I seen while reading this book... 



Do you guys like my choices? I feel very set in stone on my favorites of the year! I'm dying to see what I'll stumble upon in 2012. ^.^ Leave me your links to your 'favorites' or 'top tens' of 2011! I hope you all have a fun and safe New Years! I'll be stuck at work working a midnight. *thinks* I wonder how they got me to work a midnight -.- Anyways, have fun for me too!

PS-This is the last post of 2011. *sad face* It's so bittersweet...

I simply adore Adele! Even though the majority of her songs make me want to jump off a cliff, I still enjoy them. Red Cliff was such a good movie.

I must read Mistress of Rome soon.
Happy New Year!

Adele! Hell yeah! That's my favorite album of the year as well. Her Royal Albert Hall DVD/CD are awesome as well. I'm going to add Mistress of Rome to my TBR. Have a safe New Year's Eve and I hope your 2012 is full of awesome.

Former gang members from Afrika Bambataa's Universal Zulu Nation would rap at these block parties and when gangs
pitted against each other, they would "break" (dance).
