Books in 2010

So sad. Our book club blog seems to have been abandoned; no one takes notes and posts our choices. We even missed celebrating our 10 year anniversary in February 2010. For posterity sake, here are the books we read this year:

Eat, Pray, Love--Elizabeth Gilbert (Cynthia)
The Book Thief--Markus Zusak (Wendy)
The Help--Kathryn Sackett (Jen)
To the Lighthouse--Virginia Woolf (Donna)
Orange is the New Black--Piper Kerman (Rachel)
A Good Fall--Ha Jin (Anne)
Murder Must Advertise--Dorothy L. Sayers (Paula)
