Best of the Bunch: September 2011

Best of the Bunch is a meme hosted by Lyrical of Lyrical Reviews, where we highlight our favorite read from the past month--our "hot pick, top read, must-put-it-on-your-reading-list-immediately book."

My favorite read in September was "Uncommon Criminals," by Ally Carter (read my review here). It was so ridiculously fun to read. I loved the characters and the hijinks and the witty dialog . . . I loved everything about it, really. It's the sequel to "Heist Society," which was my Best of the Bunch pick for last month. I'm not big on sequels, so I was worried "Uncommon Criminals" wouldn't live up to "Heist Society," but it totally did. And, even better, you don't have to have read "Heist Society" for this one to make sense--it's an awesome adventure all on its own. If you haven't started this series yet, you really, really need to!

Runners-up
-"The Piper's Son," by Melina Marchetta (my review)
-"We'll Always Have Summer," by Jenny Han (my review)

  2. I'm desperate to get my hands on a copy of Heist Society, this looks like such a fun series, and I really like her other books, The Gallagher Girls. I will definitely have to check this out!

  4. Another amazing choice! Heist Society has been on my wishlist since it was your BOTB in August but I'm definitely going to make it an October read now. I'm so glad the sequel is as good as the first.
