It's really hard to narrow down to just 10 or 20 best books for any given year, because I don't exclusively read books published in that year and I read in a lot of different genres, but here's an attempt, not at the best books of 2009, but the best books I read in 2009. These are in no particular order:
1. Susan Scott, Fierce Conversations
