A tower of about 70 cm or 29 read novels a total of 12,240 pages (mean 422 pages per book), this is my digital record of the year! I do better than last year when I read 'only' 19 lbs. You can find my top 2009 here.
The average of my overall scores is very high with 8 / 10 ! I must say that I choose my books looking good example in Bibliomania if properly noted (not to mention that I participate in baby Livraddict challenges of bringing together the best books of every kind ...).
Speaking of such, my 2 favorite genres of 2010 have been thriller (10 books read) and fantasy (9 pounds). Then, it is fairly diversified : Contemporary youth (2 each), bit-bed, sf, horror, comedy, testimony (1 each).
This year I also participate in the Big Challenge Livraddict 2010 which was a total failure . I set myself to read 10 books ... Result, I read that 2: 'Mercy Thompson T1 "and" I Am Legend. " Since I'd better not in 2011, I avoided myself but I'm re-enroll by the cons Baby Challenges where I am already on track to reach the bronze medal in kind THRILLER \\ o /
Finally, here, now we're going to see my ranking 2010 in reverse, disappointment to the big favorite !
29. Imitation: a parody of The Harvard Lampoon
A big flop for this parody of Twilight that I was not at all pleased. I read it just because it was short and I wanted to see if it was funny .. Imagine how I felt. But I'll still probably read Lord of the cheesy of this magazine (Harvard Lampoon, published in 1969). [link to article]
28. Thomas Drimm T2: The war begins on 13 trees Didier van Cauwelaert
After Volume 1, which had conquered the Volume 2 is close Botching complete. War of the trees is tasteless. Roll on Volume 3 which takes away the taste of sap out of date. My biggest disappointment of the year. [link to article]
27. Mercy Thompson Volume 1: The call of the moon Patricia Briggs
Everyone incense, I decided to take the bit-bed after the Twilight event year passed. What a disappointment! It is a book clearly aimed at young women with his Mercy surrounded by 2 beautiful kids werewolves. A few touches of humor are higher level but overall I was bored to read this first Volume ...

26. goalkeeper will Eric Van Lustbader
a disappointment that this Guardian Testament that promised much with its pitch slightly to the Da Vinci Code. I was not disappointed at any action because the novel does, but rather at the lack of historical and geographical discoveries I expected. The novel is too long and more (over 600 pages) and I got bored towards the middle ... Without any more what a good read for the beach. [link to article]
25. jPod by Douglas Coupland
The oddity of the year. I liked some delusions of the book, the critique of the hierarchy in companies and then the absurd everywhere (much better used in imitation for ex.). Still, I was disappointed by a few lengths, lack of cohesion of certain parts and especially the fact that the author to stage and make the promotion of his old books. [link to article]
24. Emerald Knights, Volume 01: Fire in the sky Anne Robillard
I wanted to read for a while, the Livraddict Mag Fantasy was an opportunity to discover the famous saga hit Quebec. I was very excited about this first volume even if the end disappointed me (and this also explains pe 24th place). A good fantasy saga youth anyway. I advise all beginners who want to get into the genre. [Link to article]
23. Dead Zone by Stephen King
Adept series of the same name starring Anthony Michael Hall, I read the Dead Zone with the desire to know the end-word of history. On this point, I have not been disappointed. It is a good book even if there is less action and more thought than other thrillers. The atmosphere and the time are also different. A good book to discover. [link to article]
22. A poker player Jean-Sébastien Hongre
This is a novel that I found through Livraddict! A contemporary drama without murder or mystical creature, it has become rare that I read and I was changed. I liked this novel because the character made a diving virtiginieuse in poker at the expense of his family. The ending is excellent. I also enjoyed the discussion with the author that ensued during an evening talk on Livraddict. A good 'time Internet 'of the year. [link to article]
21. Zombie Story, Volume 1: Zombie Island by David Wellington
fan of zombies with the comics (and the series) Walking Dead and the kind of films (Romero, Snyder, 28 days later), I finally succumbed to the call of the zombie books Montreuil Book Fair 2010. Read a few weeks later, I was pleasantly surprised by this novel differs in that genre so marked. We begin to arrive in the good books:) [link to article]
20. Emerald Knights, Book 02: The Black Dragon Emperor Anne Robillard
I told you that the end of Volume 1 had disappointed me. Anne Robillard makes up for in Volume 2 with lots of action and intrigue. I feel good progress and I look forward to reading more. Only the number scares me (another 10 volumes, pffiou ^ ^). [link to article]
19. Empire of the Wolves by Jean-Christophe Grange
The year 2010 was a year Grangé. No less than 3 pounds to catch up on this writer that I greatly appreciate. The worst of the 3 was the Empire of the Wolves. Yet well paced and friendly to read, the second part I packed less (once some revelations). The author does however, loses his pen, he enters the top 20! [link to article]
18. The Golden Bramble, Volume 2: The Painting of blood JV Jones
Continuation and end of the burr gold, I still enjoyed the better part 1st. The novel is well constructed, with action and answers to questions from Volume 1. This is not the ultimate in fantasy, but I loved the pen of JV Jones. [link to article]
17. The Top Storytellers, Volume 1: The Voice of the Kings Peru Oliver & Patrick McSpare
is continued in the Fantasy! The High Storytellers will appeal to both teenagers and adults. In a kind of behind closed doors in a British village, we follow the colorful characters in an interesting plot that grew in strength until a final full of action and revelation that promises a sequel even more exciting. I also wait to see the Druid Oliver Péru Editions Eclipse. [link to article]
16. The trilogy shade, T1: The son of Shadow Jon Sprunk
After storytellers, murderers. This Son of the Shadow is action-packed fluid used by the pen of the author. It just lacks a little something to make it a must. The result may be ... That's all the harm I wish him. [link to article]
15. Dress married Pierre Lemaitre
Pierre Lemaitre is an author of thriller, I'll quickly throw me on these other novels. I was very excited about this dress Married although it is unclear at the top of my list (because of some stuff too predictable). Very perverse and stressful, it is a reading that I highly recommend to fans of thriller! [link to the article]
14. River Falls, Volume 2: The Fall River Falls Alexis Aubenque
Almost exactly like that wedding dress. It is just as perverse and stressful. There's just a little more interaction between characters, more action and a little melodramatic frame between the two main characters. A saga that feels good america deep (but written by a French) to find out! Volume 3 was released in 2010 by Calmann-Levy (eg in 2011 and the pocket book ... I hope anyway) [link to article]
13. Miserere by Jean-Christophe Grange
2nd barn for my 2010, it borders on the top 10! Yet this Miserere is very well made, mixing fiction and reality. Essentially a novel for adults, I found enough trash themes seen enough human suffering brought on ... [link to article]
12. Thomas Drimm T1: The end of the world falls on a Thursday Didier van Cauwelaert
While Volume 2 is a big flop, Volume 1 is a very good children's book full humor and cynicism about today's society. Reading this I was very amused and entertained ... Read to realize! [link to article]
11. Those we love Steve Mosby
Mosby My first but certainly not my last, a very successful second novel with a plot that sends shivers down your spine. I am very identified with the hero. The atmosphere builds up until the end. It reads in one sitting. A great discovery! [link to article]
10. Percy Jackson, Volume 2: The sea of monsters Rick Riordan
Aaaah, Percy Jackson! This volume 2 takes everything that I liked Volume 1, the least surprise. Just disappointed by the number of pages not big enough! I can not wait to read more! I like the sagas as fun as Percy Jackson! [link to article]
9. I Am Legend by Richard Matheson
After the film, I discovered the original novel. Different but as good (or better if you do not like the movie like me). This is an example of survival in urban areas. I loved the almost scientific treatment of the theme of vampires in a realistic setting. I relirais surely one day! Essential reading! [link to article]
8. The Oath of Limbe s Jean-Christophe Grange
- Grangé Best of my year 2010, Oath of Limbo itself as one of the best novels by the author of The Crimson Rivers and The Flight of the Storks. He deserves his 8th place. A pad of 760 pages grandiose, with intrigue very well built, surprisingly detailed and takes us where we never thought gone. A must for the author and genre Thriller! [link to article]
7. Green Zone Rajiv Chandrasekaran of
in 7th position, it is neither a thriller, or fantasy, or even as the action film of the same name, is a story of Rajiv Chandrasekaran EXCEPTIONAL on U.S. occupation of Iraq. It's just amazing! It surely does not please everyone but me, I got invested in taking notes and doing research in Wikipedia and I just loved it! An interesting and surprising experience! [link to article]
6. Tara Duncan, Volume 2: The Forbidden Book Sophie Audouin-Mamikonian
Many bloggers keep talking about their girlfriend or Mercy or Anita Bella ... Well me is Tara and all his company:) This saga French youth (cocoricoco) is again top of the basket this year with a Volume 2 still fun, exciting and surprising. In addition, the "mythology" of the saga is still developing, strongly thereafter (already published but need time to read them ^ ^). [link to article]
5. Therapy by Sebastian Fitzek
Y thrillers conventional therapy and there. In the final position of the top 5, this therapy is a monumental slap from the German author Sebastian Fitzek. It is his first novel and more! I will continue to follow him if we did it every time. This thriller is almost impossible to tell. It is powered from beginning to end! It's the perfect kind of book that I read it several times without problem. You can not miss! [link to article]
4. Percy Jackson, Volume 1: The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan
Hehe, Volume 2 was already gone then necessarily Volume 1 was somewhere in the top ... Which foot I had to read this new saga youth! As far as volume 1 of Tara Duncan! Fun, humor and rewriting of Greek mythology, the trident explosive here that made me loved this novel. I also look forward to reading more (in this case the volume 3 already released by Wiz ... but since I started at the LDP Youth ... I take my pain with patience. [link to the Article]
3. Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane
Read in January, the Shutter Island has long been the No. 1 of my 2010. It will not be the case but in any case he has the palm of the thriller of the year! What book blow punch! Dennis Lehane has built a clever puzzle plot tinged story that immerses you in a dark and oppressive on the prison island of Shutter Island. A trip not to be missed! Tel Millennium last year, I will not forget so soon the novel there! [link to article]
2. Outlaw and Exiles, Volume 1: The Fire of Sor'cière James Clemens
Read last novel in 2010 and he won 2nd place, there are some who are lucky! As I write this review, I'm full reading of Volume 2 and I think I can safely assure that this saga is a must for fantasy. It is worthy of the Lord of the Rings is so well written intelligently. It is rhythmic, is full of characters, action, drama, a well detailed background for each character, a bestiary friendly, sometimes cruel, and gore. Outlaw and outlaws, not a Christmas gift but it's like. [link to article]
1. Heart Gem, Volume 1: The Heir of Autumn
of Carwyn & Todd Fahnestock Gyles
This year, my heart is covered with gems of this first book that made me take special taste to the adult fantasy and literary pavers.
The Heir of Autumn is the best of my favorites and my biggest "slap" of the year.
Of all the books I expected end 2010, Volume 2 was at least as high on my wish-list. What a joy when I heard that come out in January 2011!
The plot is exciting, dense, complex but well constructed. There are a lot of action, violence and especially policy, of magic and sex that distinguish this novel everything I could read next. I enjoyed every page, I did not want it to stop ... Finally, I say more in my article if you're interested.
A must buy!
The blog will soon be the colors of the Heart of Gem (if I have enough material ... because apart from the cover, it's not much to illustrate: S If it is the Bane or Shutter ... With Martin Scorsese, I have more illustrative pictures : P).
Oh, and also, just for fun, I have prepared videos about the films I have the least and most popular in the year 2010 ! I'll post it soon!
Otherwise, see you soon for more reviews! My resolution for 2011 is to read as much: )
