Reading List 2010
So. I may or may not have failed miserably at last years 100 books goal. I blame that on the fact that my bestest friend lived here for eight out of those twelve months, and we were too busy concerting, writing, and being generally awesome to do much reading. She left though, right before Christmas, so I'm back to having ample time to bury myself into the fictional worlds of others. This year -- as I did the year before last -- I expect to exceed my goal of 100. I also plan to blog at least twice a week, so here's hoping I can get back into the swing of LJ! And now, without further ado, I present to you my reading list for 2010.

Thoughts:
1. 01/02/2010 Hold Still by Nina LaCour
Im not sure what my deal is with books like these at the New Year. (Last year's book #1 was 13 Reasons Why.) Like 13RW, Hold Still deals with teen suicide. In this book the main character, Caitlin, has just lost her best friend to suicide. As she's in the process of coming to terms with her own guilt and loss, she discovers that Ingrid left her journal under her bed as a farewell. The prose and the story are both haunting, and while this book was downright painful to read at points, it was well worth the hurt. Highly recommended!
