But of all the great books, how am I supposed to pick my favorites? It was hard because so many are so OSUM, but for your viewing pleasure, here you go.
My Top Book Picks For 2010 (in no particular order):
DIVERGENT by Veronica Roth (Katherine Tegen Books, May 3, 2011)
Let no one tell you the dystopic genre is over. This book, due out in May 2011, rocks the house. Dystopia, may you live long and prosper. I can't wait to see what you do in book 2. And please, Veronica Roth, if you need a beta reader, keep me in mind :)
PARANORMALCY by Kiersten White (Harper, August 2010)
If you think you're sick of faeries of vampires or werewolves or any of the like, read this book.
I worried this wouldn't live up to its reputation. It did, and then some. Groundhog Day, move way, way over. But Lauren, could you stop with the making me cry?
Just looking at this cover makes me thirsty. This book is best savored with some liver, a side of fava beans, and a nice chianti.
BLACK HOLE SUN by David Macinnis Gill (Harper/Greenwillow, August 2010)
Yeah, I know when reading the blurb, it says I won't want to mess with Durango. But I'm sorry, David, after reading this book, I really do want to mess with Durango. So finish book 2 already. Bring it on.
THE MARBURY LENS by Andrew Smith (Feiwel & Friends, Nov 2010)
I think I stopped to breathe once or twice while reading this. Maybe. I can't remember. It all kind of seems like I was in another world. And if I was, would I be one of the few remaining good guys or one of the really creeped out bad guys?
PERFECT CHEMISTRY by Simone Elkeles (Walker, December 2008)
The only dual POV book I've read to date where I never once got confused as to which character was narrating. And the romance. The word "perfect" isn't in the title for nothing.
MOSTLY MONSTERLY by Tammi Sauer (Simon & Schuster, August 2010)
Tammi, you named your chicken wrong. The monster will always be Lola to me. And if there's any cuter artwork in the world, I've yet to see it.

Awesome list. I can't wait to read Divergent. Perfect Chemistry is in my pile :)
Ha! Bernadette/Lola fits right into this list. :) :) :)

It's worth waiting for, Colene! But stick around for my ARC giveaway later this month.
You'll love PERFECT CHEMISTRY, Sherrie! And I bet your pile looks a lot like mine :)
You are so welcome, Tammi! Keep up the OSUM books!
That is a lot of books read!! A few of those are on my TBR list. I didn't read quite as many, but certainly enjoyed what I did read. And I want the Monsterly book. Sounds awesome!
*sigh* I'll need to add these to the already overflowing TBR pile. It's such a hard life ;)
82! That's awesome!
'Mostly Monsterly' ... I must check that one out!
Great list of books. I loved Paranormalcy. I really want to read Divergent and have heard such great things about Before I Fall. So many good books out there. Thanks for reminding us of some awesome books.
Kelly, that's the best part, right? Enjoying what you've read! Definitely check out MONSTERLY.
A very hard life, Tina! And one I'm glad we live :)
Kelly H-Y, I can echo the same thing that I said to the other Kelly. Check out MONSTERLY! So cute!
