Top 10 Reads for 2010 (Part 2)

Second of five posts where I'm listing my Top 10 Reads for 2010.  ^_^

7. Crescendo by Becca Fitzpatrick
"Crescendo will turn your world upside-down.  Becca truly has outdone herself this time as her writing will leave you breathless and hanging on for dear life.  Just like a rollercoaster ride in Delphic, with heart-pounding twists and drops that makes you want to scream, and an ending that is a beginning of another ride itself." ~maidenveil
I think part of my birthday wish back in the summer was for Crescendo to be released earlier.  Lo and behold it was released a month earlier!  I think I'm going to put that again next year.  Crescendo marks the development of Patch and Nora's relationship.  Though expectations are not met with reality (characters I want to kill and turnabout shock), it still got my vote.

8. Brightly Woven by Alexandra Bracken
"Reading the book is like what it said in the cover jacket: "..journey that sans a country, magic and hard-won romance.."  And I liken the reading to weaving as well. At first might need a little patience, especially when you're not that much in fantasy read like this.  But it picks up later on and you'll discover the story that has been unfolding." ~maidenveil

This one is one of the surprise reads I have for this year.  The story is just as lovely as its cover.  If you are into fantasy genre then this one is a recommended book.  I struggled in the beginning but I was hugging the book by the end of my reading. I'm still praying for a second book....(paging Alexandra....:D)
