 Fifty Shades of Grey by EL James, absolutely adored it.  Great steamy mysterious book.

Triangles by Ellen Hopkins.  Verse Novels are my simple pleasure, I expected it to be edgy but it chick lit, I actually DNF.

3. Most surprising (in a good way!) book of 2011?

The Secret Garden, so not me but it was magical.  A wonderful classic I look forward to sharing with my daughter.
