I know a lot of people dislike this time of year and all of the "best of" lists that get tossed around, but I love the glut of "Best Books of 2011" roundups.
Here are a few:
Publishers Weekly
The Washington Post
Kirkus Reviews
The New York Times
Slate
Ann Patchett's State of Wonder seems to hit many of them so I'm going to have to add that to the other list that takes center stage for me personally this time every year: my "books to read" list for the next year. (It's an Excel spreadsheet that I keep on my computer and update any time I hear/read about a book that interests me. Yes, it's very detailed. Yes, it's more than five pages long and keeps getting longer. No, I don't show it to anybody. Yes, I'm a geek.)
Happy New Year!
