AJL's Top 10 Books Each Year From 2009-2023

Rather than do a list of every book I read in a given year, I thought it might be more helpful if I made a list of my top 10 books from each year I've been keeping track. I apparently skipped a few years for some reason and I also included honorable mentions, so that's why there aren't exactly 150 books for anyone who's wondering.
