Now that my blog is 10 years old (seriously, how has it been 10 years?), I decided to choose my favorite books of the decade. First, I had to pull all my top ten lists from each there and then came the difficult part… I had to narrow down 100 books to 10! Looking at the list, fantasy is definitely my most favorite genre. And I love a good dark fairy tale-esque tale. I took many days, and this is what I came up with, in no particular order:
