Happy 2008! I'm starting off the year with a list of the books I most enjoyed in 2007. Since I spent 2007 studying for my Master's in Library Science (and I finished it!), the reviews will take longer to post than this list. Don't worry, they are on the way!

If only I didn't read so many good books! As you can see, I have trouble narrowing down my choices. I do recommend every book on this list. They are books that stood out in my mind after a year of reading. For fun, I've listed them in the order I enjoyed them, which shouldn't be construed as a ranking of their quality.

As always with the Stand-outs, I've categorized the books so so that I don't have to make too many choices between wonderful but very different books. This year, I've added a category for audiobooks. Two of the audiobooks I listened to were the very best books I read in a previous year, so it didn't seem fair to put them with the genre they are part of and have them top the list again. Instead, I ranked them according to my experience enjoying listening to them.

Happy Reading!
