Book	Author	Date Finished	Comments
Mrs. Pollifax and the Hong Kong Buddha	Dorothy Gilman	01-01	I'm still working my way through my re-read of Mrs. Pollifax from beginning to end.
Here If You Need Me: A True Story	Kate Braestrup	01-03	This book made me laugh, and cry, and laugh – often in the same chapter or on the same page. It has good things to say about love, family, religion, recovery, and the Greatwhatevermayormaynotbe.
Laughter of Dead Kings	Elizabeth Peters	01-10	I am so sad that Peters seems to be done with Vicky Bliss.
The Commitment: Love, Sex, Marriage, and My Family	Dan Savage	02-21	This is often sweet and often biting. The parts where he was preaching to the choir were a little bit slow; the parts I liked best were when he talked about his partner, their son, and his mom, and how their family fit together.
A Three Dog Life: A Memoir	Abigail Thomas	03-02	In the same genre as Here If You Need Me, not quite as well written, still worth reading.
Murder Carries a Torch: A Southern Sisters Mystery	Anne George	03-08	If you like your mysteries fun and rompy, read the Southern Sisters books (if you like the Stephanie Plum books, I think you'll like these.). Start at the beginning, Murder on a Girls Night Out.
Murder Boogies with Elvis	Anne George	03-19	More Southern Sisters.
Iron Kissed	Patricia Briggs	03-31	I love the Mercy Thompson series. She's what Anita Blake should have been, and I've been foisting the books at anyone who sits still long enough.
Once Bitten, Twice Shy	Jennifer Rardin	04-12	Vampires, assassins, CIA agent, action plot that mostly holds together. Not as good as Anita Blake, still compulsively reading.
Strangers in Death	J.D. Robb	04-14	Eminently readable, and there's about 800 of them in the series.
Another One Bites the Dust	Jennifer Rardin	04-24	More Jaz Parks.
Salvation in Death	J. D. Robb	05-01	More in Death.
In the Bleak Midwinter	Julia Spencer-Fleming	05-11	Excellent. Heartbreaking. I want to read the rest of the series, and I'm a little scare d to, because I like Clare and Russ so much.
The Language of Bees	Laurie R. King	06-10	LRK writes a lovely Holmes series. I love Russel. Start at the beginning, The Beekeepers Apprentice.
Mrs. Pollifax and the Golden Triangle	Dorothy Gilman	06-23	More Mrs. Pollifax.
Promises in Death	J.D. Robb	06-30	This series really does keep getting better and better.
Ex and the Single Girl	Lani Diane Rich	07-07	I am a total sucker for the 'estranged Southern girl goes home, makes good' trope.
Billionaires Prefer Blondes	Suzanne Enoch	07-28	Fun, fluffy, this is a good cross-genre series.
Bone Crossed	Patricia Briggs	07-29	More Anita Blake.
Finger Lickin' Fifteen	Janet Evanovich	08-03	A fun entry in the Stephanie Plum series. Not quite as good as Fourteen, better than many. The characters are growing, which I don't expect in my fluff (but is always nice), but it relied too much on that old chestnut, the exploding car.
Maybe Baby	Lani Diane Rich	08-11	Cute, fluffy, not as good as Ex and the Single Girl (though, admittedly, that is mostly me and not the book). I liked the characters. I will be reading more Lani Diane Rich.
Greywalker	Kat Richardson	08-24	Good, not great. I loved the characters, but the book got weighted down a bit in its own plot. Good enough that I have the second one out from the library, ready to go. :)
Hot Under Pressure	Kathleen O'Reilly	08-29	Fun, meatier than you might expect. Nice characters. Enjoyable fluff. I'm discovering that I don't like sex so much in my books, not because I object to the sex, but because it interrupts the story.
Poltergeist	Kat Richardson	09-05	Still good, still go weighted down in its own plot, but I still like the characters. So.
Murder With Mirrors	Christie Agatha	09-17	Nice. Cozy. Clever.
The Family Vault	Charlotte MacLeod	09-22	Nice. Good characters. Much darker than I expected. I'm eating the rest of the series like candy. Read them if you like your mysteries cozy. :)
The withdrawing room	Charlotte MacLeod	10-14	These are mostly scratching the itch that, say, the Southern Sisters books or the Vicky Bliss books do. Which means that I am going to read them all very quickly and be very sad when there's no more left.
The Palace Guard	Charlotte MacLeod	10-21	… and more of the same.
Underground	Kat Richardson	10-25	Still weighted down by their own plot, still can't put them down.
The Bilbao Looking Glass	Charlotte MacLeod	11-02	Omnomnomnom.
A Pocket Full of Rye	Agatha Christie	11-13	Fun, not enough Miss Marple.
Don't Bend Over in the Garden, Granny, You Know Them Taters Got Eyes	Lewis Grizzard	12-02	Lewis Grizzard always scratches the right itch.
Biting the Bullet	Jennifer Rardin	12-16	More Jaz Parks. Still over the top, still tasty.
Coop: A Year of Poultry, Pigs, and Parenting	Michael Perry	12-27	A lovely rumination on family, work, relationships, fatherhood.
84, Charing Cross Road	Helene Hanff	12-30	Sometimes, you need a little comfy rereading.

My only reading goal for this year was that I read more than 2008 (24 books) which I did (I'm at 35 this year). 2010's only reading goal is that I read more than this year. :) (Hitting 50 would be nice, but we'll see.) Also, I've joined a group over on Library Thing that's running an off the shelf challenge for this coming year, so I'll be trying to read 12 books I already own.
