Ten

Each year, then Nature's 10 list highlights the stories of people behind major science development over the past year. That's the top 10 stories of science, technology, engineering and medicine, which are shaping our world.

There are countless top 10 topics at the end of each December. Think of your top 10 lists, or even top 10 school acquaintances, top 10 Instagram posts. 

For my rankings, I like to rate the top 10 books I have read each year. Here are mine:
