Twitter doesn't quite allow me to extrapolate on any type of "best of..." lists. 140 Characters is not enough. Not that I've got anything to say. It's just not conducive to lists. So, here's my list of best and some worst of 2010. Of note is that these elements may or may not have been made last year, it's just that last year was when I encountered them.
Best Books Read in 2010
1. Blood Meridian
2. Let The Great World Spin
3. Life of Pi
4. Everything is Illuminated
5. (tie) Harry Potter 1-7
Jayber Crow
Worst Books Read in 2010
1. The Shack
2. The Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon
Best Albums of 2010
1. Mumford & Sons
2. The Trumpet Child & The Long Surrender by Over the Rhine
3. The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
4. Messenger by Joe Pug
5. In Feast or Fallow by Sandra McCracken
All totaled I think I read or attempted to read more than 40 books (42 exactly. I didn't finish 7 books and I only regret one of those). As for albums I lost track but imagine that total to be close to 40 as well as I added numerous albums based on others' top ten lists, like Mavis Staples and the Avett Brothers. Sometimes I can't even keep track.
