Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. This week's topic is
- Top Ten Books I've Read in 2010 -
-a look back into your favorite reads of 2010! -
Notice, not all the books I've reviewed on this blog so far are books I've read in 2010, so that's why some books which I blogged very highly about are not on this list. I'll have a more full list of my favorites and least favorites of the year sometime in the New Year, but in no particular order, for now...
Fiction
Priority - Iselin C. Hermann
Bonjour Tristesse - Françoise Sagan
A Certain Smile - Françoise Sagan
Dimanche and Other Stories - Irene Nemirovsky

I NEED to read The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo! It just never seems like the right time for it. I'm really glad you enjoyed The Hunger Games, I loved it.
We had The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, Speak and The Hunger Games in common.
I've been curious about Major Pettigrew's Last Stand for a while, might have to try and track it down.
Speak is popping up everywhere. Tis going on the TBR list. Sounds very powerful.
Hope it's not as 'distrubing' as A Child Called It.
I couldn't even attempt that one. So let me know if maybe I should rethink?
Some good books here , a few of them I read and enjoyed. Check out my list www.thephantomparagrapher.blogspot.com. Im a new follower
Devil in the White just missed the number one spot on my list. Great book.
..."City"
Agreed Devil in the White City is fantastic!
PS--love the way you've formatted these posts--I need to figure out how to do those pretty paragraph colors!
Brenna: Yeah! Though the third of her books that I read, I really didn't care for. :( I think I'm going to take a break from her for a little bit.
Daisy: Yes...though the first 30-40 pages of Girl with the Dragon Tattoo are pretty boring. I honestly felt my eyes glazing over reading them.
1girl2manybooks: Major Pettigrew's was better than I thought it would be. Not tremendous, but decent.
Laura: I've never read A Child Called It so I can't really compare it to anything else. Speak is really fairly tame for most of the book.
