More books were recognized for their ability to stand out from the crowd at ALA’s Midwinter Conference; isn’t that nice? So shall we take a moment to take a look at a few more lists? The Reference and User Services Association (RUSA) passed out a whole big bunch of awards! They selected 25 fiction, non-fiction, and poetry books for their 2010 Notable Books list. They selected books for The Reading List which is made up of eight genres. And some reference book awards and individual awards that might be of interest if you are die-hard fan of any and all kinds of awards!
But perhaps you’d like to be a leader instead of a follower? Perhaps you’d like to start a list of your own Notable Books so you can be ready to see how they stack up against the official 2011 Notable Books list? You might want to start checking out what the independent bookstores are predicting will be the next hot title. The IndieBound list is always full of interesting suggestions!
Oh, the choices! Maybe you’ll want to switch back and forth between the all the lists? And still leave room for what’s coming in The Latest Additions? That sounds like a great plan!
