Maybe I’m getting nostalgic because it’s the end of year. Or maybe I’ve been reading everyone else’s “best-of” and “favorites” lists and it got me thinking. But whatever the reason, I wanted to share some of my favorite reads from 2010. (Note: Not all books were published in 2010, I just read them this year)
