2010 Book List

This post is (again) mainly for my own reference as I continue documenting the books I have read. I am going to try to format it a bit like an annotated bibliography. However, I am also going to try to provide a brief synopsis and rating of each book, so anyone else out there looking for a good read has my suggestions to consider! I'm going to link to this post on my sidebar and update it throughout the year.  Although I didn't do as good of a job keeping track as I wish I had, you can also check out my post from last year! :)

I'd also love suggestions! Let me know what the best book you've read recently is, so I can add it to my "To Read" list. :)

Niffenegger, Audrey. Her Fearful Symmetry. ★★★★✩

When their Aunt Elspeth, who was estranged from their mother, dies, twins Julia and Valentina inherit her estate; however, the inseparable pair must move to London and live in their aunt's flat for one year before they are allowed to sell it. Even though I had to set aside my disbelief while reading this ghost story, especially at the conclusion, I couldn't put it down.

 Gilbert, Elizabeth. Committed: A Skeptic Makes Peace With Marriage.  ★★★✩✩

Because I loved Eat, Pray, Love, I had high expectations for Gilbert's second book. While the insights about marriage in different cultures were interesting, I was left wishing for more of her story and feelings. At times, it felt like a documentary on marriage. An interesting read, but a bit boring at times.

Sparks, Nicholas. The Last Song.  ★★★★✩

When Ronnie is sent North Carolina to live with her dad for the summer, she is not exactly thrilled. But what unfolds that summer teaches her about falling in love and second chances.  Not usually a fan of his, but I really enjoyed this book. It's definitely a relatable love story with a bittersweet ending.
