Las Vegas Bookies Selection for 2010

Our bookclub, The Las Vegas Bookies, started to find its footing in 2010. (This picture is from our Christmas party in 2010.)  Although we still picked a few duds,  we read a lot of great books. Some of these books we still talk about how wonderful they were to read and to discuss.  My favorite book of 2010 was For Those Who Save Us.

Personally, from this selection I highly recommend, Still Alice, For Those Who Save Us,  and 1000 Splendid Suns.

Scan through the list and let me know what you've read.  And what was your favorite!
