The End-of-the-Year Lists Have Begun!

Posted on November 8, 2010 by

Oh, how I love this time of year in the literary world!  Amazon released their “Best Of” lists last week, so I thought I would temporarily suspend my Book Club Theme series to bring you the best of the best lists for the next few weeks.

Let’s start with Amazon Editor’s Best 100  The End of the Year Lists Have Begun!first…  The full list is 100 books long, but here is a sneak preview of those titles that I hope to read in the very near future…

    I love your “TBR” list…many of your titles I’d love to read soon too. I recently finished ROOM and EVERY LAST TIME. I highly recommend both, but ROOM especially touched a place inside of me because of the plucky 5-yr old main character Jack. I just picked up UNBROKEN, having loved SEABISCUIT. Thanks for your idea list from the top 100!

    I’m so glad, Linda!! I LOVE these lists… I can’t wait to read Room and now I will bump Every Last Time higher on my TBR list, too.
