2. Worst book of 2010? Violin by Anne Rice.

9. Most thrilling, unputdownable book in 2010? Angelology by Danielle Trussoni.
10. Book you most anticipated in 2010? The Distant Hours by Kate Morton. (I have yet to read it, although I already bought it. Unbelievable…)
11. Favorite cover of a book you read in 2010? The Boy with the Cuckoo-Clock Heart by Mathias Malzieu.
12. Most memorable character in 2010? McMurphy from One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest by Ken Kesey.
13. Most beautifully written book in 2010? The Girl with Glass Feet by Ali Shaw.
14. Book that had the greatest impact on you in 2010? Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. It’s the only book in 2010 that made me cry.
15. Book you can't believe you waited UNTIL 2010 to finally read? The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. I love this author, so I don’t know why I waited so long with this book, it’s great.

I am gonna create my own starnge best books at the end of the month :) But Ali Shaw is gonna be there
Wow, great survey! I'll definitely be filling this one out soon too! :D
Oh this is fun. I will have to give this a go next week. You are finding lots of fun one-off memes. I love it. I also love that you discovered the Harper Connelly series this year. I love that one. I'm sad that I finished it. Have you considered reading the Aurora Tea Garden Mysteries. I keep thinking about buying the book but I think it might be verging on horror and that isn't really me.
What a great post! I may have to grab this one myself....
@Blodeuedd: Ali Shaw is great, isn't he!
@Suzana: I'm a sucker for such surveys.:)
@Becky: I'm looking forward to reading your answers! I loved the first novel in the Harper Connelly series, so I'll definitely read the rest. I just know I'll like them. I think I will give Aurora Teagarden a try. I discovered two great omnibus editions on Amazon that contain all 8 novels. Well, I hope the stories are not TOO horror-oriented.
@Julie: If you, I'll gladly read your answers!
I've just added The Book Thief to my TBR list.
These surveys are a lot of fun, aren't they?
Oh, Of Mice and Men! Sooo sad.
Here's my Best Of list: http://readerbuzz.blogspot.com/2010/12/sunday-salon-best-of-2010-in-books.html
Snap! I chose The Boy with the Cuckoo-Clock Heart as my favourite cover too! And The Girl with the Glass Feet is lovely :-) Nice list!
