Here I plan to link all posts on the theme of 2010 releases and reads and index this post on the "Best of" widget. As of today January 3, 2011, I plan to add one more post discussing non-2010 releases I read.
I will include the two Goodreads comprehensive lists dealing with this subject, while for some books I tried and did not care for to continue, a general list is HERE, with books I have and may read at any time listed HERE and HERE.
I am including also the final 94-book list of 2010 Anticipated books of which I finally have/took a look at all. Of them 81 are read so far, 11 are on the reading pile and two I decided I do not want to read.
