Book List: 2010

Jan 06, 2011 21:17

One of my annual, end-of-the-year traditions here at calico_reaction is to post a comprehensive list of every book I read and every book I didn't finish. This is not as painful as it sounds. This list is updated EVERY time I finish reading a book, so posting it at the end of the year isn't that big of deal. The order, of course, is most recently finished first. The list goes down from there, including title, author, date it premiered, genre, number of pages and format, and finally, a link to the review. It's a long list, yes, but for those of you who are interested (or bored enough), I hope you enjoy.

Final tallies for 2010:

Total novels read: 109 (That's up from last year's 102!)

Total novels started but not finished: 10 (Also up from last year, which was 6)

Total comic books read: 403 (Definitely up from last year's 10. Woot!)

2010 wasn't a bad reading year, all in all. Now I just have to narrow it down to my Top Ten! But until that happens, here's the full list of all titles (except for comic books) from last year.
