A List of Lists: Best Books of 2009
It’s December and you know what that means, it’s time for anyone and everyone with an opinion to make a “best of 2009” list. The lists are subjective, but they’re fun to look through and a good way to discover books that you haven’t heard about. Since I haven’t come across a single list that mirrors my favorite books of the year, look for my picks next week. Here are a few best of 2009 lists that I think are interesting:
Amazon’s Top 100 Customer Bestsellers
Amazon’s Top 100 Editors’ Picks
