Book lists
Jan. 2nd, 2011 08:48 amI managed to finish 133 books in 2010. This is a slight surprise as in 2009 I read 163, but I guess I've been busy.

Allegra Goodman - Intuition
Tom Rob Smith - Child 44
Ariana Franklin - Relics of the Dead
Patrick Rothfuss - The Name of the Wind
Maya Slater - Mr Darcy's Diary
Madeleine George - Looks
Scott Westerfeld - Leviathan
Hilary Mantel - Wolf Hall
Muriel Barbery - L'Elegance de L'Herisson
Amin Maalouf - The Crusades through Arab Eyes
Best SF and Fantasy not on the list above, in order of reading:
