Wow! I enjoyed reading your thoughts on the books you read. I only read 30 this year...that number looks pretty shabby next to you. My goal this year is to write more Shelfari reviews on books I read.
And here's my yearly question - What were the best books you read and would recommend? As usual, I'm in awe of your list.
Denise: Of the titles I read in 2010, probably the 3 top favorite books I would recommend are: The Help, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, and Stitches: a Memoir.
