So 2010 was an excellent year for books.  I’ve had a look through to see if I can pick out my favourites – there were such a lot of good ones though and unfortunately as I lost my book list for most of the year I can’t remember all of them!!

Picking a top ten out of so many books isn’t easy but I’ve had a go anyway (in no particular order):

The Girl who Played with Fire, Stieg Larsson (a simply excellent series but the middle book was my favourite)
The Book of Lost Things , John Connolly
The Dead Tossed Waves, Carrie Ryan
The Help, Kathryn Stockett (unputdownable)
Fire, Kristin Cashore
Before I Fall, Lauren Oliver
Clockwork Angel, Cassandra Clare
One Day, David Nicholls
Crescendo, Becca Fitzpatrick
Firebrand, Gillian Philip

That’s it for 2010 – not easy making up that list with so many to choose from but looking back was fun and out of all the books I’ve read I guess I would be more than happy to reread the above named and would definitely recommend them to other people.
