Books Read and Reviewed in 2010

 Lots of mysteries in last year's list.  I've spent so much time catching up on reviews that the idea of separating them into categories doesn't work for me this year.  I kept this list without any additional information I've included in the past and won't be going over it to separate into male/female, fiction/nonfiction, etc. 

I found some new authors that I enjoyed, followed authors I've liked in the past, taken recommendations from many of my fellow book bloggers, didn't include all the books I've read with Bryce Eleanor (and reread, and reread, and reread). 

Some books were really good, most were pretty average, and a few that were pretty bad.

    2. Stefanie - A lot of these books weren't worth the effort, but some were great!

      LF - If I had practiced DNF better, I would have abandoned some and looked for better. Notice that you abandoned Bees and Mist...I put that one aside, too.

    4. Deborah - Mostly fiction and a mixture of good and bad. This year is going to be a lot slower, and hopefully, with more nonfiction!
