five Best Titles for 2010
Here are my Best Read of 2010! Not all were released in 2010. Also, I put this stuff up pretty quickly. Sorry for all the more than usual mistakes.
The Solitude of Prime Numbers by Paolo Giordano
Beautiful yet very unconventional love story of two people who want to be together, but they can’t. They don’t know how to be. Circumstance has prevented them from finding their identity and, as a result, they have struggled all their lives. My Review.
The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson
This book was a wonderful surprise. There were stories inside the story, and it was crafted so beautifully that it felt like I was part of each one. It’s about the power of love and what it makes you believe in it, but you have to have faith. Sure, it sounds like the same old same old, but Davidson made it unique and unforgettable. My review.
The Black Dagger Brotherhood by J.R. Ward
I spent all of May (my birthday month) getting to know the brothers, and oh GAWD did I fall in love with each and everyone of them. I totally became obsessed and stalked their forums and found them on twitter. It was a very good month of laughter, and tears, and screaming the words and… *blushes* My reviews. Birthday banner of the brothers made for me by Zigster.
The Night Huntress series by Jeaniene Frost
Yeah, okay. The early part of summer was all about catching up with series I had missed out on. Why it took me so long to get a freaking clue on the awesomeness that is Cat and Bones? I may never know, but I’m damn glad I did. *le sigh* Bones! I love that bastard son of a whore, and I think his lady is pretty cool too, but only because she freely admits to being a psychotic bitch. My Reviews.
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
Seriously, sometimes being so unread has it’s advantages, like not having to wait for the next book in a series because you didn’t read them until they were all out. *evil laugh* Oh, the cleverness of me. Like the hoards of people around the world, I loved this series, and regardless of the less than stellar final book, I still think all the books were exceptional. We got our poetic justice and happy ending. Who could ask for anything more? My Reviews.
So, yup. Those are the best books I’ve read in 2010. What are yours?

haha, I probably would have thought the same thing had I been taking part in this meme, don't worry.
You're the second person today that has recommended Gargoyle even though I had never even heard of it until today. I'm going to have to read it now.

Don't worry about it Missie! I love the title of Friend is not a Verb too. I haven't heard of some of the titles so I will have to take a look. Thanks for taking part and have a happy new year!

I like the idea for best title of 2010
There is a couple of your favourite reads that I haven't read yet but I will fix that in 2011. But I love The Hunger Games, The Night Huntress series and of course the The Black Dagger Brotherhood. How can you not love those guys. Rhage is my favourite!

HA! I won't lie, I probably would have misinterpreted that as well and done the same thing you did:) Brilliant minds think alike and all that;)
I love the Brothers! Such a fabulous group of men to get caught up on, so glad you're on board with them. And don't even get me started on Bones *dreamy sigh*
