2010 seems to have been a good reading year for many of our readers and also for AAR staff. Some of the books we’ve loved have gotten lots of buzz, but there are always those buried treasures out there waiting to be found. Some of these books come from new authors or smaller presses, and…
The AAR staff has weighed in on our favorite books of 2010, and this is one of those years without much consensus. Only two books received more than one vote, and the clear winner was the book chosen by three of us. The good news: If you need to catch up on your reading, we…
