Best Books of the Year Round-Up

So, as the year starts to come to a close,  Best of Lists start popping up everywhere.  Personally, I like reading Best of Lists.  Sometimes I agree with them, sometimes I wonder what the choosers were smoking, and sometimes, I discover a new-to-me author.  (They can also be a good source for holiday gifts.)  So, I thought I'd post some links to various lists around the web. Consider it my gift to you.

  1. I'm with you on loving to read the best of lists! I've found some of my favorite all-time novels this way. Not sure if you're interested, but here are two more - and here's the fun part for us, since we love the 'best of' lists: we can vote! I actually saw several of my faves listed and I added one that wasn't. Enjoy, and happy holidays!

  2. Sure! Thanks.
    Best-of lists can be a great source for discovering new authors. It's what made me try N.K. Jemison and now she's one of my autoreads.
    I also would never have checked out Lucinda Williams' Car Wheels On A Gravel Road, not being much of a country music listener but, now, it's one of my all-time favorite albums.
