It’s that time of year again–the “best of” polls. I used to be members of a couple of groups that did these, but I think they’ve mainly stopped. Probably, because just like me people have a hard time remembering what they read over three months in the past.
I also always feel a tad guilty because I know I missed a ton of really great books. How far is it of me to mention just the ones I did read? Oh, and my ballot is always pathetically empty. I read so much fantasy, and basically no, say, romantic suspense. I know there is some deserving book out there I could give my vote, but I haven’t read it.
So, that all said, what should I have read? What are you voting for–if you vote in such things?
I know I’m going to list Eve Kenin’s Driven. I’ve been pimping it everywhere because it is truly a great book. But after that I’m going to have to do some research to jog my memory. Guess it’s time to hit my Shelfari shelf and see what I actually read this year!
Oh, and in case you need it, here’s a link to the AAR poll.

Love this show–sorry TV day for me I guess. Apparently fans have put together an unusual effort to get the network to pick up the show for a second season…Rice a Roni!
That’s right starting January 26th Torchwood is back. I enjoy Torchwood, although the series seem to kind of hit and miss. I’ll love one show then the next will leave me cold. Sometimes I think they are pushing to hard for “quality” television rather than just trying to put together an entertaining show.
But either way–I’ll be tuning in. Here’s a link with a bit about James Marsters (aka Spike) and his new role.
Stop by! I’m talking about the inspirations for my books.
