2010 Book List Meme In Review
Jan: 21 + Feb: 15 + March: 23 + Apr: 17 + May: 34 + Jun: 33 + July: 25 + Aug: 23 + Sept: 29 + Oct: 16 + Nov: 19 + Dec: 17 = 272 total
Down a bit from '09. I expect the heavy reading in the summer months is a combination of it being the off season at work and lots of rereading of various series for the nth time...
Looking back over the monthly recaps I'd say that the book I'd recomend to the most people unreservedly would be Charlie Huston's The Mystic Arts of Removing All Signs of Death. Which I need to replace, since I gifted out my copy at Christmas. Favorites from the New-to-me writers for the year would likely be Naomi Novik for her "Temeraire" series, Jim Hines for his "Princess" books and Adrian Tchaikovsky with the "Shadows of the Apt" series. Giant Gut Punch Awards go to the endings of Bujold's Cryoburn and Butcher's Changes. And a giant You're Still Missed to the late Robert Parker who passed on just over year ago...
