Just like my reading list rundowns for 2009 and 2008, I present you with the books I read in 2010. Since I feel behind this year on writing reviews for the majority of them (something I'm hoping to do more of this year!), if you have any questions or comments on any of the titles, please let me know and I'll tell you what I thought!

A rich reading list. I'm the author of The Courageous Follower that is on your October list. My book seems fairly different than most of your choices. I'm curious how you came to be interested in it?
All the best,
Ira Chaleff
Melanie, thank you so much! How exciting to see that you read Nerdy Thirty in December. Hope you enjoyed it :-)
Hi Ira,
Thanks for reading my blog! Your book was on our reading list for the Leadership & Management in Libraries and Information Agencies class I was in. We also read Shackleton's Way for that class.
Wendy,
Thanks to you, too for reading my blog! I did enjoy your book. I saw that you were speaking at one of the Omaha libraries and unfortunately I had to work that night, but I wanted to check out the book regardless. I was glad I did.
