Ha Ha Ha – have fun catching up with the reading, E! But you’ll be great!
Yay! I nominated FUN & GAMES! Sad to see THE HOUSE OF SILK didn’t make it but this is a pretty good list. I like seeing nominees I’ve actually read, unlike the short lists for many other awards.
I hate when that happens; a “best of” or awards list comes out from some organization and you barely recognize the titles, let alone have read them.
My vote is for Fun & Games by Duane Swierczynski. Thanks for the heads up, Elizabeth.
One I’ve read, and two I’ve heard of. Will add these to my list of things to read this year… =)
