Top10 of 2011

hello,

            i've decided to participate in the event called Top 10 of 2011, organized and hosted by  Jessica from Confessions of a Bookaholic and Lisa from A Life Bound By Books , Jaime & Patricia from Two Chicks on Books and Rachel from Fiktshun .

During one week, each day will have a post about our top 10 of books, or covers or characters. Each day, a special topic.

Today we start with the Top 10 of Books read in 2011- any book so not just the one published in 2011. For me it's a bit special because it will be a mix of   books in French and in English ( because sometimes i discover an author thank to the translation in a French editor house)

Here we Go:
First place goes to:

 Psi Changeling "l'esclave des sens" by Nalini singh
Editor: Milady, Publication 2011. I was so happy to discover this book. A great time really ( can't wait to read the next one)

Second:

Dragon Bound by Thea Harrison Berkley publishing, 2011. Captivating, sad the second book wasn't as good.

Third place: Chloe Neill with Vampire of Chicago tome 1, Editor Milady, 2011. I wanted to the next one quickly. ( Milday published a lot of paranormal romance, bit lit this year)

Four:Alexandra Ivy and Les Gardiens de l'éternité, tome 1 Dante- editor Milady , 2011

Five: On the Prowl by karen MacInerney- ballantine book, 2009. Discovered by chance it was really a good read.

Six: Karen chance serie Cassandra Palmer - ( tome3) Editor Milady pulished in 2011
To be honest perhaps it's higher in the list.. i had a lot of difficulties to choose which book and such so it's only number 6 it would be better in a list of  favorite serie however.

Seven: Silver Borne by Patricia Briggs- Ace books, 2011. Great great book but only number seven because i much prefered the first one.

Eight: Jeaniene Frost the night huntress serie book 4- french editor Milady , 2011
I've discovered this serie late ^^;; now i'm impatient to read the next one ( in english on my TBR)

Nine: Succubus blues- Milady published in 2011. I was hesitant at first but i don't regret to have given it a try

Ten: Kate Daniels serie by Ilona Andrews tome 3 french editor Milady ( 2010) second publication 2011) lovely


Now making this list wasn't easy at all...some could be higher in the list but since i've read them  at the beginning of the year i didn't thought of them first. Also sometimes i've got a problem becaus ei love the serie but the level of books isn't regular. So i've decided to add my Top 5 of Serie discovered in 2011 or still on going in 2011. ( the one i don't want to miss^^;;)

1: Mercy Thompson by Patricia Briggs, i was disappointed by the last book published but i really love this serie as a whole ( and the next will be as good as the first one)
2: Night huntress serie by Jeaniene Frost
3:Kate Daniels by Ilona Andrews ( exaequo with Night huntress serie in fact)
4: Cassandra Palmer by Karen Chance
5: Midnight serie by lara Adrian
6:Chicago vampire by Chloe Neill ( exaequo with Th midnight serie)

For these six serie, i've got the book, in French and in English ^^ because i really love them. I've read the last book published or at least it's on my TBR pile. ( exception for the midnight serie, but i'm planning to get the english books too)

Next is Succubus serie, Psi changeling, Jaz Parks, Dark Swan, Guardian of Eternity etc ( not necessary in order because i don't have read all the book yet, sometime just the first one ( or2) so i can't say if the serie is good or my favorite in his globality.


And a great new...Ilona Andrews is offering a novella : Magic Gifts on her blog. Download free for only 2weeks so if you love the Kate Daniels serie, hurry and enjoy it.
