Books of 2010

[orangerful]

So, here are the books I read in 2010. I didn't include all the picture books because I read a lot of those for work and the list would have been long and have a lot of so-so titles. So for Picture Books, I only listed the stand-out titles I remember reading. If the title is italicized, I really enjoyed the book and suggest you add it to your list for next year. :)

These are not in any order - just the order I felt like typing them. I tried to clump the same author together since I did a few series this year.
