(Books in no order) (Titles link to my reviews)
#1: Daughter Of Smoke & Bone by Laini Taylor
I loved everything about this book. It is probably one of my top 5 books of all time. It really is that great!
#2 A Need So Beautiful by Suzanne Young
This book is unlike any other book I have read. I loved how unique it was and I was hooked as soon as I started reading this book. I can’t wait for the sequel!
#3 Blood Red Road by Moira Young
Dystopian books are quickly becoming some of my favorites and this one is no exception. I didn’t think I would like this book at first but by the end I absolutely adored it.
#4 Dearly, Departed by Lia Habel
I thought this book was a joke at first but as soon as I found out it wasn’t, I had to check it out. Futuristic steampunk zombie romance. What else do I need to say?
#5 Divergent by Veronica Roth
Ahh! I loved this book so much! Definitely one of my favorite dystopian books. It was so unique and addicting! I don’t think I set this book down once. I have had the urge to re-read this one multiple times and I think I am going to have to cave soon and read it again.
Oh, I forgot to mention one thing: FOUR! =)
#6 Enclave by Ann Aguirre
This is one of the creepiest, darkest, dystopians I have read. Needless to say, I loved it! This one is not for the easily creeped out! =)
#7 Lola And The Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins
I loved Anna And The French Kiss and I really didn’t think anything else could top it but I was so wrong. Lola And The Boy Next Door is even better! It is one of my top 10 contemporary books of all time! I love Cricket and Lola!
#8 Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi
This seemed to be one of the love it or hate it books of 2011. I am in the love it category! Taherah Mafi’s writing style was so unique and beautiful. The characters completely blew me away. Oh and there was an awesome shower scene. Enough said. =)
#9 The Probability Of Miracles by Wendy Wunder
This book took me from laughing to crying and back again so many times. I can’t even put into words how much I loved it.
#10 The Unbecoming Of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin
This one is another one of those love it or hate it books. I obviously loved it. It was very unique. The story was great, the characters were fabulous, and the ending was killer! Can’t wait for the sequel!
#11 Wither by Lauren DeStefano
Now this was one unique dystopian. Girls only living til the age of 20,girls being sold into polygamous marriages, hot servant boys, what more could you want? Lauren DeStefano’s debut novel was definitely a hit with me!
What do you guys think? Did any of these make your fave of 2011 list?
Shatter Me is definitely on my top of 2011 list. I just read Anna this year, but really looking forward to reading Lola at some point.
Great list!
I haven’t read any of these…but great choices 😀
I’ve read nothing of the top 11 of 2011. They are all on my to-read list.. somewhere..
I’ve still got to read a few of these books, I’ll be making them a priority in 2012. And I loved Divergent too; it was so addictive!
Blood Red Road, was AMAZING! I can’t believe how intense it was! If you haven’t listened to it on audio, you really should, the read does a great job!

Wither made my Top 10 and Shatter Me got an honorable mention. I really enjoyed Mara Dyer but it didn’t quite make the list. Great Top 11. A lot of those are on my to-read list. 😀

I need to get myself a copy of Dearly Departed! It sounds SO amazing.
Otherwise, I completely agree with your list! I loved all of those books. <3
I loved loved Divergent and Lola and the Boy Next Door! They were both amazing! 🙂
I read 8 of those 11. I’m gonna have to check out the others 🙂
I LOVE your choices! So many wonderful books!
Loved so many of these! Particularly Daughter of Smoke and Bone, Divergent, Dearly Departed and Shatter Me!
Great picks!
So many good books! I can’t believe I didn’t read Mara until this week! That is one seriously awesome book.
Laini Taylor is a genius. I loved her world. It was totally unique and I loved how her characters got me hooked and made it easy to connect with them even though the world consisted of so many people!
