Best I've Read 2010 ~ We love this book because...~ edition

I started my book blog in August 2010 and somehow I 've read most of my favourite books this year since then, may it be because of the pub dates or the influence the blogging community had on my choices and tastes. I decided to display five reasons why we just have to love each book, to tease you a bit and if you already read the book remind you of the things you might loved about it just as much as I did.

Here is the best I've read in 2010! We love these books because...

5) even little brothers deserve some romance 

 

Linger by Maggie Stiefvater
