Recently a few friends have asked me to recommend a good book or what my favorite book was this year so I thought I would share my Top Six reads of 2011. Have you read any of these? Have I enticed you to pick one up?

V is for Vengeance by Sue Grafton
Why I Loved It: Even though this series is 22 books in this story is fresh and exciting. I'm sticking with this series to the end!

The Madonnas of Echo Park: A Novel by Brando Skyhorse
Why I Loved It: I grew up in Los Angeles and The Madonnas brought back memories of my old friends and parts of town that I haven't thought of in years.

Soul Trapper by F. J. Lennon
Why I Loved It: Soul Trapper was a refreshing, new (to me) take on the Urban Fantasy genre and the hero wasn't Mr. Perfect. His flaws made him real and I loved that.

One Second After by William R. Forstchen
Why I Loved It: This could totally happen! It was eerie how easy we could be incapacitated by something so simple.
2.
Heads You Lose by Lisa Lutz + David Hayward
Why I Loved It: OMG! This book was seriously laugh-out-loud funny. The interaction between Lisa and David is
almost funnier than the story itself. Definitely a must read.

The Two Deaths of Daniel Hayes by Marcus Sakey
Why I loved it: I DEVOURED The Two Deaths of Daniel Hayes in less than 24 hours!! It grabbed me from page one and I just could not put it down. Awesome suspense thriller.
I'm so glad you picked The Madonnas of Echo Park. I loved that book and have been disappointed that it hasn't gotten much publicity.
