Books Read, 2010 (partial)
23/12/10 13:24I feel like I'm missing a bunch, since I was really only tracking YA books, but I mostly only read YA books so I'm not missing too much.
I loved many of these books. I was glad to discover Elizabeth Hand, finally and far too late; I glommed on to two desperately dark and brutal YA books, Janne Teller's "Nothing" and Sonya Hartnett's "Butterfly"; I cheered every debut novel and especially liked "Guardian of the Dead" and "The Replacement"; I need the sequel to "White Cat" yesterday, and loved "Ship Breaker" for being dystopian without falling into the usual traps of teen dystopias; "Kasha" (in English as "All She Was Worth") is the longest Japanese novel I've ever read, suspenseful and well-written enough to hold my attention for the months it took me to finish it.
( Partial list, cut for length )
