Best Books of 2010: Top Ten

I wrap up my Best Books of 2010 series of posts with my ultimate favorites of the year. These books come from all genres within adult and YA. They are the stand-out titles that I read during the year. This list includes books that were decidedly non-mainstream, approached difficult topics, kept me glued to to the pages, had standout writing, and were overall the books that I am glad to own for posterity; books that will stay in my head and my heart, and will probably be re-read many times in the future. My Top Ten of 2010:
