Postcard For Reader

Favorite Books of '10

It's that time of year again!

I have to figure out what my FAVORITE books this year were. (And I'll even make super spiffy buttons for the winners, in case the authors want them. Because I can.)

And while I'm spending the day exchanging Christmas presents with my friends, I think I'll let YOU GUYS help me decide. See, here's the list - and I want your opinions. Do you agree with my choices? (Granted, it's based on what I read.) And what were YOUR favorite books this year?
