Publisher’s Weekly recently announced their picks for Best Books of 2010. With an average of 7,000 book reviews each year, editors found it tough to pick worthy candidates for this year’s prestigious list. While the full 100 were published in the print edition yesterday, PW allowed a sneak peek at the top 10 on their website in an article published on Nov. 8. Editors agree that female authors had a strong presence in this year’s publishing market, and, consequently in their top 100 list.
Without further ado, the top ten include:
1. A Visit from the Good Squad by Jennifer Egan
2. Freedom by Jonathon Franzen
3. Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand
4. The Surrendered by Chang-rae Lee
5. The Big Short by Michael Lewis
6. The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot
