Top Books of 2010

The truth is we're a bit behind on reviewing a few of our 2010 reads. However, I thought I'd give you a comprehensive list of all the books that made the grade of an A or A-. I could be amazing and list every book we read on this post, but really, it's easier if you just click on 2010 in our blog archives near the bottom of the page.

Because most of the above list is Memory Mondays, it feels a bit like cheating. So Ryan and I are including our top 10 B+ books from 2010. There are others that were also graded a B+, but these were the favorite of that list:
