It's never too late to ask this question and it is one that I will never grow tired of. So here's the list of my 15 favourite books (it's so hard to pick just 15!) taken from my earlier post 2008: A Year of Passionate Reading.

Oh you liked Breaking Dawn enough to list it in your top fav's? I have every book in the Twilight except this. I have mostly read negative reviews about this, so i am pleased to see it in your list :)
I'm glad that Gossamer is on your list, Alice! And once again, thanks for your book! :)
Hi violetcrush, indeed Breaking Dawn made it into list. It was very hard to do because I also wanted a few others to be included but I had to be 'stingy' about it... I hope you will enjoy it. There are mixed review about it.
Hi Melody, it's my pleasure! I hope you will enjoy it. I'm glad Gossamer has found a special home at your place. :D
I just finished The Book Thief and it will be on my favorite of 09 list!
great list alice, I liked Coraline.

pleased you enjoyed Abduction
if memory serves me right I read it just before you did :)
Hi Nise'! Nice to see you here and thanks for dropping by. I'm glad The Book Thief made it to your favorite list. :)
Thanks, Naida! I can't watch to watch Caroline. I hope it'll come to Malaysia.
Hi Jen! You're right about having read Abduction before I did. I stumbled upon the first one and loved it, so I had to get the second one and it was a nice coincidence to find out that you've read it too. :D
I've been seeing Neil Gaiman on a lot of people's lists. but I am unfamiliar with him. I'll have to look him up!
Hey ALICE! *grin* - Great list! But as always, again, am odd one out. I have not heard or read any of these books.
I hope you have a great day!
Fantastic picks, Alice! I'm happy to see all the Neil Gaiman :D
Hi Barbara! Gaiman writes great fantasy stories. I hope you'll enjoy his books when you do read them.
Julia oh Julia, you odd girl! LOL. But then you're the romance queen and I don't read romance often so that makes me odd, too, because I haven't seen most of the books listed in your blog until then...
Thanks, Nymeth! And I'm happy to read Gaiman! :D
To ALL: Have a lovely weekend!
Are you going to try and see the movie Coraline when it comes out in the movie theater near you? :-) I need to read the book--better hurry!
HI Wendy, am definitely watching Coraline when it hits the cinema here. Ah yes, you better hurry with the book. :)
