2010 Book List

Today I want to share with you my list of 2010 Books Read.  I am one of those silly people that keep a list of all the books they read.  I have done so since 1998.  I mainly do it because my memory is going and when someone asks me for a book recommendation or what I’ve read lately I usually have to consult the list!

book list 2010

Before I share the list though I want to make a disclaimer. 

Just because I read the book doesn’t necessarily mean I recommend it.  This year I have decided to keep a rating system along with the list of books I have read (one star, two star etc.) but for 2010 year you just get the list.  So I highly recommend that you consult this great site – Rated Reads before you read the book to make sure it is something you want to read.

Using movie ratings, the books on this list range from G rated to PG13.    We need to take personal responsibility for what we read and watch and we all have different standards so please be sure and check things out.  Although the majority of what I read I would consider rated PG there may a few books that I have read that don’t meet with your personal standards so please be a responsible reader.  I don’t want to offend anyone.

Honestly – I can’t say there was any one book I read in 2010 that really WOWED me.  I liked a lot of them.  I really enjoyed the Hunger Games series especially since I didn’t think I would and didn’t really want to read them.  They were a pleasant surprise.

In the Sanctuary of Outcasts was a definite favorite.  It is a memoir based on a writer who lived in a combination leper hospital/prison in the South.

I have given into pressure from my children and have promised to read the entire Harry Potter series. (I had only ever read the first one when it initially came out)  I am enjoying them much more than I expected too!

I am often asked how I have so much time to read. 53 books this year. First, I am a fast reader.  I tell my children that comes from reading a lot my whole life – the more you read, the faster you get.  Second, I read a lot in the car.  Actually, I listen to a lot of books on CD while I’m driving around on daily basis.  It’s amazing how much you can get done.  I listened to the entire C.S. Lewis Chronicles of Narnia in the car and I am also reading Harry Potter that way!

As always, I love hearing what you have been reading.  Please leave a comment and let me know.  Did you have a favorite book for 2010?

 So enjoy the list!

    I read 84 Charing Cross as a child and it really captured my imagination. I loved it so much and still do!

    Books I read last year which I’m sure you would enjoy:
    The Help
    The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society
    The Kitchen House
    Half Broke Horses (also Glass Castles by the same author)

    I am surprised you weren’t “wowed” by Cold Sassy Tree. It is one of my all time favorites, I wish I could read it again for the first time.

      Amanda,

      I love that book and have read it 3-4 times. I like to re-read it every couple of years so I guess I was thinking more in terms of books I had read for the first time.
