Jill's best and worst of 2007

Today it's the turn of our Inspirational Chick Lit reviewer, Jill Hart, to pick her favourite (and otherwise) books of the year.

What's the best book you've read this year? This is so hard. I love so many books, that I'm not sure I can pick just one. But, since Keris is making me, I'm going to have to go with Sharon Hinck's The Restorer. Her combination of mom-lit and fantasy was unique and fun. Plus, with two more books to come in the series I still have something to look forward to!

Have you discovered a new author and devoured their back catalogue?  Jane Green. I'm not sure what rock I've been under, but I hadn't read anything by her until I was sent Second Chance to review. Then I got to interview her and she's such a doll! I'm proud to say that I now own all of her books. I'm not-so-patiently waiting for her next release...

Have you read the first book in a series and can't wait to read more? I'm gonna pick two: Rainy Days and Tuesdays by Claire Allan [I hate to tell you, Jill, but I don't think it's the first in a series - Keris]. I loved this book for being honest and hilarious. I can't wait to read the next in the series!  Also Sushi For One? by Camy Tang. It was a fun read and a great glimpse into the Asian culture in America.

The worst book you've read this year? I hate to be a downer, but since Keris asked I'll be honest. I had no idea what I was in for when I read Little Stalker by Jennifer Belle. The book sounds cute and starts off fine, but then come the part where the main character is basically witness to an older man taking advantage of a 12 or 13 year old girl and she does nothing about it - tries to make it seem normal even. Ewwwww.
