2010 Book Reads

2010 was filled with my usual themes:  mysteries, baseball, young adult.  Throw in lots of gardening, financial, getting into college, teen psychology and food related books that I didn't write down.  That about sums it up.  Here is what I read in chronological order for 2010. At least, this is what I wrote down in my little notebook.  Checking my inter-library loan history shows I read many more books.   (The * books were read for the mother/daughter book club)
