Okay, here's a 2010 wrapup post for you
I read 164 books in 2010, which is 3 more than I've ever read in a year, and double my average since I started keeping track. And while there were kid's books and manga in there, it wasn't disproportionate compared to some other years.
Best books I read in 2010. I was going to list all the ones I gave 5 star reviews to on Goodreads, but apparently I was generous. Consider this list the 5+s. In order of awesomeness:
A Brother's Price by Wen Spencer
Eon: Dragoneye Reborn by Alison Goodman
Singing the Dogstar Blues by Alison Goodman
Oooku: The Inner Chambers by Yoshinaga Fumi
Switch: How to Change Things When Change is Hard by Chip Heath
The other 5s were: the final volume of Afterschool Nightmare (you really have to read to the end), a couple of Jeeves/Wooster collections, and also a book on ASL for kids called A Show of Hands.
And I sort of think it's not a coincidence that the books I really loved were somewhere on a Tiptree list. So that is spurring me to read more, as is the fact that a number of the authors should be at Wiscon this year.
Here's a link to my goodreads account, if you're curious. I have not reviewed every book in 2010, but most of them.
