A couple of weeks ago I wrote about my 2010 reading challenge – reading 26 books over the next 52 weeks – and asked for your help in fleshing-out my reading list for the remainder of the year. I’ve now pulled together the suggestions of people who commented, to form my 2010 reading list.
On Monday I posted my review of Feeding Frenzy
Here is my planned reading list for the rest of 2010. You’ll note that, with the two I already mentioned, there are way more than 26 here so I’ll either have to speed up or prioritise – there are just too many books I want to read!

I’m sure this list will change, especially given the increasing number of books I’m being pitched to review, so I’m using Goodreads to organize my reading for the year. Feel free to connect with me over there (thanks to Amy Mengel, Tamara Gruber and Amanda Laird for the tip on Goodreads).
What do you think of the list?
