I didn’t realize this until I started looking for my favorite fiction books, but apparently 2010 was a light fiction year for me. I’ve usually got at least one novel going at any given time, but I guess I slacked off this year. Nonetheless, I did read a number of books that I really enjoyed. Again, these are books that I read in 2010 regardless of when they were actually published.
- Home, Marilynne Robinson
- Neverwhere, Neil Gaiman
- The Inheritance of Loss, Kieran Desai
- The Name of the Wind, Patrick Rothfuss
- The Way of Kings, Brandon Sanderson
Guilty Pleasure of the Year: The Hunger Games Trilogy, Suzanne Collins
The Name of the Wind is the champion of my 2010.
Mistborn, by Brandon Sanderson, is the favorite of 2011.
The Trilogy made for a tasty snack and Gaiman provided a pleasant diversion.
Not a bad year, indeed.
I enjoyed the Mistborn trilogy quite a bit. I hadn’t heard about Sanderson before he took over the Wheel of Time series, but I really enjoy his books now.
