So it's time to look back at what I read this past year and name my faves. I had a goal of reading 50 books this year and I came really close. The holiday madness seemed to get in the way. I finished book 48 (The Queen of Palmyra) as our neighbors fired off annoying fireworks last night! I will make the goal this year to read 50. I am also a writer and am working on a YA novel and will spen most of my time this coming year reading other YA novels similar to what I want to write. I will also read aduly fiction also.
TOP TEN OF 2010:
Mudbound by Jordan (probably my go to recommendation for friends. I actually read this book twice this year!)
The Sky Unwashed by Zabytko
All the Broken Pieces by Burg
Carry Me Home by Kring
The Other Wes Moore by Moore
The Help by Stockett (This was my top fave last year. I read it again this year for a book club)
Chains by Anderson
The Immortal Like of Henrietta Lacks by Skloot
The Sweet By and By by Johnson
Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter by Franklin
LOOKING FORWARD TO READING:
