Without hesitation, it's MERLIN's Charge, by Peter Joseph Swanson. I reviewed it earlier today...

The best book I've read so far this year was "The Last Olympian" by Rick Riordan, the last book of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. I've already read 33 books so far this year, including the other four Percy Jackson books. I really enjoyed the series. I've read a few other books that I've really enjoyed like "Highway to Hell" by Rosemary Clement-Moore and "The Black Unicorn" by Terry Brooks. I'm hoping to read at least 67 more books before the year is up. :D

Wow, I thought I read a lot. I probably read 4 or 5 books this year (admittedly I tend to read rather massive books!), but 33 is impressive.

Yeah, I read like a mad-crazy woman. Most of my reads have been YA, but I've read some pretty hefty books too. The shortest book I've read so far this year was 170 pages and the longest was around 700. It averages out to about 300 pages per book. I don't go a single day without reading at least 20 pages of a book.
TATA.

The best book that I have read so far is the book written by Paulo Coelho and its entitled "The Alchemist". It was a good book because it talks about how this young man was able to make his dream come true with all the efforts that he made in his life. He encountered some challenges but he was able to cope with it. His experience also applies for us cause taught a lesson about the importance of perseverance.

I heard of that one and many people seem to love it. I was tempted to read it, but it just doesn't pull me.

Mine is Total Control by David Baldacci. I sincerely recommend it to you guys. It's really gripping and its plot skillfully crafted. I just can't stop reading! Baldacci's books never failed to meet my expectations.

It sounds like a thriller - I'm not so much into those. But I'll have a look at the description. Thanks.
