Top Ten Books of 2012

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

Gahhhh, I can't. I've read 351 books so far this year, and I'm really not sure how to choose just 10 of them. :( Oh well, here's an incomplete list of my 2012 favorites. For an exhaustive list of loves, check back in a couple of weeks, assuming I stop being horrified at the prospect and get that post done. Even so, I've broken this down into my favorites for genre and age group. It's way more than ten, but you'll just have to deal with it.
