It looks to be their first (VERY open) competition, but they have some good titles on there. The first round of voting closes Dec. 15th, with the final winners being announced Jan. 15th.
This last weekend I caught a panel of reviewers talking about themselves and book reviews over on BookTV. To be honest, they didn’t say much that hasn’t been said already, just a whole lot of complaining about the “shift in the industry” and how the mega-media companies see no value in printing book reviews.
It’s a mammoth list that makes me feel very much so out of the loop. There are too many on that list that I have never heard of! So I started poking around and found a few more lists:
I guess it’s always fun to see what the “pros” are saying around the world, but I find a lot more enjoyable lists when seeing what’s hot on LibraryThing and BookMooch… and blogs! Let me know if you compile your own “Best of 2007” book reading list. I’d like to check out your list!
That is how many days have passed since I have posted here at {head}:sub/head. That’s 4-months exactly.
I’m still making some changes around here, but you can bet that I am well rested and ready to start passing along the choicest bits of books and Birmingham marginalia.
