This week's Weekly Geeks is to list our favourite books published in '08. We've read a lot of newly published books but the ones below are our favourites.



 Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen I mean, seriously, it's Sarah Dessen. How could it not make it on?

Sweethearts by Sara Zarr is a book both truthful and relatable.

 Living Dead Girl by Elizabeth Scott *shivers* It's completely, completely unforgettable.

On the Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta 

House of Dance by Beth Kephart. Poetic and beautiful.

Trouble by Gary D. Schmidt

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

And, of course, Paper Towns by John Green. You already know how awesome we think it is. ;)

I haven't read a single one but want to read all of them! It drives me crazy that I am missing out on great books and I can't read fast enough to catch up.

Great list - I loved SWEETHEARTS.

Paper Towns is so awesome. I know everyone is really excited, and I can't wait until everyone gets to read this amazing book. :)

Lock and Key is on my list, too! I keep meaning to get to Sweethearts. Living Dead Girl does indeed sound quite shivery, I was thinking of adding it to the TBR list.
