What do you think were among the best books of 2007? Name up to three.

Debi Honnoll
There were so many books that it is hard to pick out just three favorites! I can't remember if some of these came out in 2007, but at least, I read them in 2007! First, A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS by Kahled Hosseini. Second, NINETEEN MINUTES by Jodi Picoult. Finally, THE BOOK THIEF by Markus Zusak.

Canadian Reader
Although technically released in the fall of 2006, the paperback edition of THE ROAD by Cormac McCarthy didn't become available until 2007. It was the stand-out book for me this year. I certainly think it was one of the best --- mesmerizing, stunning, moving. Another extremely fine title in the children's book category was A PERFECT GENTLE KNIGHT by Canada's Kit Pearson. It was a very moving book that is not just for kids.
