Books

So I managed to read 68 books this year, the full list is under the cut

Books read in 2010 )

The stand out titles included the final in the Chaos Walking trilogy, of Monsters and Men a fantastic but depressing end to a great series, The entire Hunger Games Trilogy was great and Chris Wooding was a great discovery with Retribution Falls and The Black Lung Captain following a crew of of Airship Pirates, the dynamic has a very firefly feel to it and they are enjoyable stories. Finally I started yet another gripping series with a novel called Feed by Mira Grant, this is set some time after a Zombie Apocalypse following a brother and sister pair of bloggers following the presidential campaign, I read the book as it was part of a book club challenge expecting another run of the mill zombie story but it was very compelling, one of the first books in a while that I would choose to read rather than doing anything else.

I also point people at [livejournal.com profile] calico_reaction who is a great blogger who reviews mainly genre (fantasy/sci-fi for the most part) fiction and has pointed me in the direction of several interesting authors and courtesy of a competition she ran I won a book which was even better
