Books Published in 2010 – Auxiliary Memory

The 2010 Pub Challenge is about reading 10 books published in 2010. Follow the link to the official home page of the challenge to read the rules and how to sign up. Even before I discovered this reading challenge, I had made a new years resolution to read 10-12 books in 2010 that had been published in 2010. I have discovered that my reading feels more exciting when I mix in a good many new books. But this challenge presents another challenge: How to find the best books of 2010 before the end of the year when everyone publishes their Best of 2010 reviews?

The only solution I can think of is to read as many book reviews as possible and see if I can spot titles with several consistent rave reviews. Bookmarks Magazine does just this, but unfortunately, I’ve sworn off buying paper magazines, but they do have a links page to many current book reviews.

What I’ve decided to do is collect links on this page to the best online book reviews I can find. Hopefully this will help me spot the emerging best books of 2010. I also create another list, one for books I want to keep an eye on. Working on this 2010 goal is actually helping me achieve a long term goal I’ve been thinking about for years. I’ve always wanted to find a way to systematically read book reviews. Even if I don’t have time to read all the books I want, I’d like to at least be aware of what’s out there. Assembling this list below has been very rewarding already.
