My Life According to the Books I Read, 2011 edition

~This meme is hosted by Christine from The happily ever after blog. It's sort of like the MadLibs of the book world...
Using only titles of books that you read this year (2011), complete the prompts below. Try not to repeat any book titles. Think creatively and have fun!~


Okay....I told a lie. The last post wasn't the last post of 2011, this one is. I have to work tonight and I'm bored, so I'm doing this meme too.

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

CATEGORY 3: BOOKS

~Female Book Character of the Year:

(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...
