Here is my 2010 Book Listing. My goal last year was to read better books. Better written, better stories, better better. I think I did a fairly good job as I have a lot of 4 and 5 stars this year. Of course there are the mindless, relaxing reads mixed in as well as the entire True Blood Series that while they might not be the best books ever, they are easy, fun, and fast. BC next to a book means it was a book club read (LOVE my book club). And, as always, if you have any must reads, I’d love to know!!
