Around the blogosphere, I've been seeing bloggers listing their Top Ten books that they've read so far this year and I wanted to chime in. I love to promote my favorite titles and I've been lucky to read some fantastic books from all different age levels and genres in the past 6 months. Here's to hoping that the second half of 2010 is even better.

As for the Young Adult titles, those I've been going through like water and have found a lot of great debut authors this year. Lots of excellent writing, unique concepts, and intriguing characters. I hope to see some of these on the Cybils list this year.
