Wrapping up the Year

First, am I spelling "wrap" correctly??  I'm a bit braindead at the moment and it just doesn't seem like I'm using the right form of it..

2010 will soon be coming to an end, so I decided to look back on everything I read this year to try and pick some favorite reads of the year.  Boy was it hard.  Instead of picking one or two awesome books, I'm going to list a bunch of favorites that are definite must-reads (and rereads in the future pour moi).  I'm always surprised by how many books I read and truly adore, and then I remember that it's probably because I'm such a picky reader.  If I'm bored, I'll read anything, but for the most part I only read books that I REALLY want to read.

My Favorite Books of 2010 (links lead to reviews on my blog):

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows

The Sweet Far Thing by Libba Bray (review coming tomorrow!)

The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger

Reckless by Cornelia Funke

The Thief Lord by Cornelia Funke



The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

The Books of Pellinor (The Crow and The Singing) by Alison Croggon


Waiting for Columbus by Thomas Trofimuk



The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters



I realize this is a really long list.....and there are still books that I had to leave off because I didn't want the list to be even longer.  If you want any good books to read next year, feel free to take some ideas from this list :)
