These are the best books I've read in 2005. Some are probably older, whilst others will be published in 2006. (I get to read advance reader's copies sometimes - maybe the best benefit of working at a library.)

Absolute favorites are followed by an *.

Oh, and in random order.

And yes I read more "young adult" books than an adult should.
