Publishers Weekly's* Best Books issue hits stands on Monday, but
their top 10 is out now. The overlaps with
Amazon's list if you're keeping score at home are FREEDOM, JUST KIDS, THE IMMORTAL LIFE OF HENRIETTA LACKS, THE WARMTH OF OTHER SUNS and THE BIG SHORT. Much love for
THE LONELY POLYGAMIST and
THE SURRENDERED here.
Jess and Jen, I will definitely be making my own Top 10 of 2010 list (and really, thank you so much for asking!). I
did a best-of list last year, although it wasn't limited specifically to 10, because the Internet is crazy and there are no rules. I want to squeeze in a few more weeks of reading, too --
as always.
Meanwhile -- and not just you, but everyone -- what books would definitely make your list this year? What do you think has been overlooked so far, given that some heavyweights' lists are still outstanding?
*Disclaimer: I occasionally review for them, although I did not contribute to making either this list or the longer list, so I'm just as curious as you as to what will show up on it.
