Ok, so I'm a few days late, but its been hectic. Today I finally managed to pack the 'cherubs' off to school and before I knew it, they were home again. Not that I am complaining of course (I wouldn't dare).
So, here's a round up of my favourite reads of 2010.
1. A Thousand Splendid Suns - Khaled Hosseini
By far one of the most emotional books I have ever read. It is beautifully written and very moving.
2. The Book Thief - Markus Zusak
Thought provoking and sincere, its subject matter cannot fail to move you.
3. Memoirs of a Geisha - Arthur Golden
Intriguing and interesting with exquisite imagery.
4. The Painted Veil - W Somerset Maugham
An interesting read about relationship, love and faith during a cholera epidemic. Intriguing, yet bleak. Check out the film - It has a different ending and the cinematography is stunning.
5. A Certain Slant of Light - Laura Whitcomb
This may be a novel for young adults, and I may be the wrong side of 30, but I found it a lovely read- a charming story of love with a twist.
That sums up my favourites for last year. It's a short list, but I can't read that fast no matter how hard I try....
