2011, in my opinion, was a excellent year for the literary globe with many established authors coming out with some fantastic and remarkable books. In India, too, established authors like Vikram Seth produced their presence felt whilst some unknown names like Amish Tripathi and Preeti Shenoy shot to the limelight with some fantastic books that left the readers wanting for more.

The year 2012 is nearly upon us so it tends to make sense for me to compile a list of the Leading 3 Books of 2011. Please note that this is my private list of the leading 3 books of 2011 and has been selected on a combination of individual liking, great plot and overall public popularity. So without having additional ado, here’s the list of the leading books of the year.

1. The Secret of the Nagas by Amish Tripathi

Amish very first gave us a glimpse of his talent when he came out with the first book in the Shiva Trilogy, The Immortals of Meluha, in 2010. He followed up on that explosive debut novel with the release of the second installment in the Shiva Trilogy, The Secret of the Nagas in 2011.

Brilliantly written with a plot that had sufficient twists and turns to inspire a thriller movie, The Secret of the Nagas is one particular of the bestsellers of 2011 and every person including me is waiting with bated breath for the third and final book in the installment, The Oath of the Vayuputras.

two. Inheritance: Eragon Book 4 by Christopher Paolini

Now this a single is a single of my individual favorites and absolutely one particular of the leading three books of 2011! I’ve been following the adventures of Eragon Shadeslayer and Saphira ever given that the initial book in the Inheritance Cycle written by Christopher Paolini released some 6 years ago. With the final book in the series titles Inheritance, Paolini gives us an explosive finish to this fantasy series that has left readers enchanted the world more than.

Read this book for an adventure that you’re not most likely to forget in a long time. For all fans of the Inheritance Cycle, this book is a key milestone because it answers all the concerns that have been in our minds for the past six years.

three. Only Time Will Tell by Jeffery Archer

You can in no way count out Jeffery Archer! Despite so many factors happening in his individual life, Archer came out with one particular of the top rated novels of the year and boy, did he make a bang of it!

One particular of my favored authors of all time, this book is vintage Archer stuff. A definite need to read for all Jeffery Archer fans out there.
