Yeah, that’s probably not a word. If it is, it shouldn’t be. Just seemed to me we need a special word for the yearly Best Of lists that start showing up about now.
The New York Times Book Review has joined the race with a list of the 100 Notable Books of the Year. Check out that list. Have you read or purchased them? Have you even heard of most of them? Me either. I checked and six of the fiction titles and two of the nonfiction titles reside in my house. A few of those were gifts. So, between buying and receiving, I still don’t have 10% of these. Guess my reading year wasn’t all that notable.
This did get me thinking. If I had to pick the five most notable romance/women’s fiction/chick lit titles I read this year what would they be…I’m still working on that one. If you have a list, let me know. Off the top of my head (and without looking at my bookshelf or at the PBR reviews) mine likely would include The Comeback Kiss by Lani Diane Rich, Lover Eternal by J.R. Ward and Sleeping with the Agent by Gennita Low. I know I’m forgetting a bunch – sorry. At some point in December I’ll actually check those bookshelves and the PBR reviews and put together a Best Romance/Chick Lit/Women’s Fiction Releases of 2006. Until then, consider this my working draft.

You have 100 per cent more of them than I do.
