Well, it took me a while to get this list compiled and posted, but better late than never, right?
So without further ado, here are my favorites from 2010:
Best Comedy: The Adventures of
Alianore Audley
Read my review of Alianore's Adventures
Best Knight Tale: The Scarlet Lion
Best Audiobook: Mark of the Lion Books 1 and 2
Recorded Books version, narrated by Richard Ferrone
They were both so good, and together completed the story,
so I couldn't pick just one!
I didn't review these, but they both get 100% 5-Star Ratings from me.
According to my Goodreads list, I read 110 books in 2010. Some were winners, some were losers, most were in between. The books that stand out as my favorites are those that I couldn't forget about long after finishing them. They are books I still pick up to reread favorite scenes. They are books I recommend to my friends, and all of these have earned their places on my keeper shelf.

So, these are my favorite reads from last year. Did any of my faves make your list? Got any recommendations for me?
I love comments :)
I love Alianore Audley and it might be time for a reread soon. I think I know more about the period now and might get more of the jokes :)
ReplyDeleteGreat list. I actually have Alianore Audley on my shelf but forgot about it until I read your post! Thanks for the reminder. The Duke of Shadows is on my tbr list.
ReplyDeleteWhat a list! Now I can brush up my TBR list with these fabulous new discoveries.
ReplyDeleteGreat wrap up! I've added some of these to my wishlist now!
ReplyDeleteI have only read the Hunger Games series (the first two made it onto my 2010 favorites list: http://jewelknits.blogspot.com/2011/01/favorite-reads-of-2010.html) and the Iron Fey series of your list, but you DO have a couple more here that I have on my wishlist! I'm off to read some of the reviews on the others!
