Ex Libris: A Review of 2010

So here's documented proof that my reading speed has slowed or even that my reading had stopped for the year 2010. Imagine that, I've only read 26 books for this year and a couple of them not even thoroughly read because I threw them away half-through.

Here's a list. The italicized books are those books I wasn't able to do a review for this year.

1. Jaida Jones and Danielle Bennett's Havemercy

2. Sarah Langan's The Missing

3. N.K. Jemisin's The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms

4. Hitori Nakano's Train Man

5. Sarah Langan's Audrey's Door

6. The Imago Sequence and Other Stories by Laird Barron

7. Honor Guard by Dan Abnett

8. Scott Westerfield's Leviathan

9. Chris Wooding's Retribution Falls

10. Adrian Tchaikovsky's Empire in Black and Gold

11. Wild Cards: Busted Flush

12. James Lovegrove's The Age of Ra

13. Jedediah Berry's The Manual of Detection

14. Conrad Williams' The Unblemished

15. Warren Ellis' Crooked Little Vein

16. Junot Diaz's The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao

17. Chuck Hogan & Benicio Del Toro's The Strain

18. Richard Kadrey's Sandman Slim

19. China Mieville's The City & The City

20. Charles Stross' The Jennifer Morgue

21. David Anthony Durham's Acacia

22. Larry Niven & Jerry Pournelle's Inferno

23. Lev Grossman's The Magicians

24. Tim Aker's Heart of Veridon

25. Dan Simmons' The Terror

26. Patrick Rothfuss' The Name of the Wind

What was my top read for the year? I would say it's a toss-up between Hitomi Nakano's Train Man and Junot Diaz's The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, both of which are-- though non-spec fic-- are still very geeky.
