The Mid-Year Review - Best of 2010 (Thus Far)

Since it's nearly the end of June, I thought I'd compile a list of the books I've read so far this year that really impressed me. Keep in mind that since I've been on a YA kick since starting this blog, there'll be quite a few more YA titles than in other categories, simply because I've read more of them in terms of volume compared to adult and children's books. Since I don't have a rating system (ratings are subjective anyway), you'll have to skim the reviews to see if these will impress you as much as they did me.
