It’s that time of year again, when we look back on the year and think about all the great (and not so great) things we accomplished. We had a pretty good year here at Book Binge. We had some amazing authors visit, gave away some great prizes and read some amazing books. We also read some not-so-amazing books.
We’ve spent the last few weeks going over all of our reads for the year and we’ve come up with what we consider to be the Best and the Worst of 2010. We’ll be posting them over the next week. The categories we came up with are:
Best
Author
Read
Hero
Heroine
Series
Worst
Read
We’ve selected our top five favorites (along with a few honorable mentions) in each category. It was really hard coming up with only 5. I think we’re all a little stingy with the 5 star grades, so there were only a few who received 5 star grades from us. But I don’t think a 5 star grade necessarily makes for the best book of the year. There were some books I read that only received 4 stars that I ended up re-reading 50x throughout the year. And there are some that received 5 stars that I can’t remember a thing about now. Strange how that works, isn’t it?
What about you? Do you have your Best (and worst) reads of the year put together? Is there one read in particular that stands out as THE BEST BOOK OF 2010? Just one? It’s hard to do, isn’t it?
Hey Ladies! Um… YEAH it is definitely hard to pick just one read as the BEST read for the year. I certainly struggle with it.
I am such a dork, though. Throughout the year I keep a spreadsheed and organize the books I have read in order of my favorites. I have my best/worst list all ready to go after the first of the year. Actually, this is my favorite time of year because I like to see what everybody has chosen as their favorites. If I haven’t read those books then I put them on my list.
Well, I did do a list for my own blog of my favorite reads, and I also have one or two books that I Couldn’t stand, so I guess the answer is yes!!
I can’t wait to hear your picks!
Happy New Year
