Many congratulations, Liz and get well soon! (I already have the Hughes so am not competing, just congratulating and sympathising).
Congrats on being so high up that list. I'm a regular follower of your excellent blog, but I rarely comment.
The Crowfield Curse by Pat Walsh is a huge favourite of mine from this year. Also The Ostrich boys by Keith Grey and Wasted by Nicola Morgan. Oh, and Revolver by Marcus Sedgwick. And...
But I'll stop:)
I saw that, too! Isn't it fantastic?
'Strange Angels' by Lili St. Crow -- Now my teenage daughter's reading it.
Congratulations - well deserved!
A book I thoroughly enjoyed is Mary Hooper's ''Fallen Grace'', and I've been singing its praises to everyone. It has all the classic elements of a Dickens story: innocent girls cheated, wicked villains, dire poverty, social snobbery and a lovely hero. It is well written and plotted, and shows a most intriguing side to Victorian mores because a lot of the book is based around funerals. Truly fascinating!
The Sky is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson was a lovely book, Artemis Fowl and the Altantis Complex was pretty exciting, and Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins was a satisfying ending to the trilogy...lots of good things out this year!

Best book I've read this year - hmm hard one - Wasted by Nicola Morgan or Dead Boy Talking by Linda Strachan or Firebrand by Gillian Philip or The Long Weekend by Savita Kalhan or Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel or...
Actually, might vote for Portrait Of the Mother as a Young Woman by FC Delius.

In comparison with you book bloggers, I'm a slow readers these days and many of the books mentioned above are still on my TBR list. BUT I just finished The Forest of Hands and Teeth and must say am now on the hunt for the next one. Absolutely loved it - and been having zombie dreams since I finished.
Belated congratulations on the list - I know the comp is over I just wanted to join the conversation ;)
