My 2010 Reading List & Poll
« on: December 31, 2010, 04:02:30 PM »
This is a yearly tradition for me, but I don't usually post the poll to UKY. I thought it might be fun. Does anyone else want to do one?

Sadly, my list wouldn't be too long this year. I did read a few books, of course, but not nearly that many! I started playing video games on the PS3, so I blame that.  ;) I haven't read any of the same ones you have!

I'm not nearly organised enough to do this! I can hardly remember the names of the books I've read this year, other than the ones my Kindle kindly stores for me.

What a great idea!  I think i am going to try to keep a list of all the books I read this year :)  And your list has given me some new titles to look up!  Thank you!

Look what happens with a love like that, it lights the whole sky.

Jewlz, you vote for books you've read EVER, not just necessarily this year!

chary, I love your list. What did you think of Let the Great World Spin? I want to read it but with a young baby in the house combined with the fact that I read quite a bit for my job, I have to be even pickier about what I read these days.
22 November 2005: Arrived in the UK on a work permit
28 April 2006: Met my beloved
2 July 2010: Gave birth to our little boy
30 October 2010: ILR Granted!
January 2013: UK Citizenship Granted
8 November 2014: Married

I mostly liked it. It's made up of stories of various people who are all connected in some way, and I preferred some of the characters' stories to others. Still, it's well worth reading!

LOL... I've not read any of those!  :P I can't remember all of the books I've read this year, either! Maybe I should start a list of all the ones I'm reading this year. I have a We Read account, where I log a lot of books I've read or would like to read. If anyone else has one, hit me up so we can add each other, since I have no friends.  :P

Some that I read in 2010 and enjoyed: The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood, The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold, The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Whatshername, Zahir by Paulo Coelho, In the Woods by Tana French, The Devil's Punchbowl by Greg Iles, Far From the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy (that may have been last year, but I think it was the beginning of this year), and the entire Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris.  [smiley=blush.gif] I recently read a few other mysteries that my MIL passed to me (Die for Me by Karen Rose and Pretty Little Things by Jillianne Hoffman), but they weren't that great.  :-X I can't seem to recall any others.

Looking at the list after I voted, I realised that I missed a few, but I would say less than ten of those.

Oh, sorry! I guess I didn't think anyone could go to high school in the US without reading To Kill a Mockingbird;D

We didn't read that in high school, but I have a copy here. Just haven't gotten around to it for some odd reason!   ;)

I didn't read it in High School either.  I read it as an adult.

It's well worth reading in my opinion, whenever you do it. I read it in school the first time, but appreciated it all the more when I read it as an adult.
