2010 Book List

As I did last year, I kept track of all the books I read this year. While I was 5 short of last years total I feel like I had a good excuse, what with learning to manage a newborn and a toddler at the same time. The fact that Hayes didn't sleep through the night for an entire year didn't leave a lot of reading time! Anyway, here is my list for 2010.

1. Handle with Care – Jodi Picoult
2. Three Weeks with my Brother – Nicholas Sparks
3. The Lovely Bones – Alice Sebold
4. Light of the Moon – Luanne Rice
5. The Shack – William P. Young
6. The Rescue – Nicholas Sparks
7. Mercy – Jodi Picoult
8. The Help – Kathryn Stockett
9. A Bend in the Road – Nicholas Sparks
10. The Alchemist – Paulo Coelho
11. Love the One You’re With – Emily Giffin
12. The Short 2nd life of Bree Tanner – Stephanie Meyer
13. Water for Elephants – Sara Gruen
14. Eat, Pray, Love – Elizabeth Gilbert
15. The Magicians Nephew – C.S. Lewis
16. The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe – C.S. Lewis
17. The Horse and His Boy – C.S. Lewis
18. Prince Caspian – C.S. Lewis
19. Safe Haven – Nicholas Sparks
20. Twilight – Stephanie Meyer
21. New Moon – Stephanie Meyer
22. Mini Shopaholic – Sophie Kinsella
23. Voyage of the Dawn Treader – C.S. Lewis
24. Eclipse – Stephanie Meyer
25. The Silver Chair – C.S. Lewis
26. Breaking Dawn – Stephanie Meyer

It is a toss up for my favorite this year between Water for Elephants and The Help. They were both SO good and actually both are going to be movies in 2011. Mercy by Jodi Picoult also really stuck with me. I am really looking for good book ideas for the coming year. Everyone is finally sleeping pretty well so I hope to read a lot more! I would greatly appreciate your recommendations in the comments section!
