Of the 79 books I read this year, 30 of them were nonfiction. Pictured above are the best of the bunch, with Curtains coming in right under the wire. (I just finished it about a half hour ago, making it the last book read in 2010. Hence, no review yet.)
Keep in mind, these are books I read in 2010, not necessarily only those published in 2010. They're in alphabetical order by author last name, and the links take you to my reviews.
NurtureShock: New Thinking About Children, by Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman

Totally agree with you about Nurture Shock and Half the Sky!! The Drive one is one I've been wanting to read for a while now... I have it on my nook... just need to get to it!!! And the Henrieta Lacks one I really want to read too!!
I loved Drive. I'm a teacher and I wish our principal would make all of the faculty at our school read that book!
Great list of favorites. I really enjoyed Half the Sky when I read it as well.
