The Library Nook Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 It's nearly that time of year where people look back at the books they have read this year and decide on their favourites. Has anyone started doing this yet? A bit early I know but I always find it so difficult! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 We actually run a "Book of the Year" poll with several categories each year. In order that December's books can be included, we do the whole thing in January, so I hope everyone's been keeping a note of their favourite (and least favourite!) books this year!

The Library Nook Posted November 5, 2007 Author Share Posted November 5, 2007 lol thought you might! I just wondered if I was the only one to start thinking about it yet:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 I hope everyone's been keeping a note of their favourite (and least favourite!) books this year! Oh yes definitely. I always enjoy the voting season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I have started my thinking. There have been a few favorites this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I'm glad that's a plural 'books' because I'd never be able to choose just one! I've been keeping close track so I have a few in mind. I've had an excellent reading year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

proserpina Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I think I know what my favourite book is this year, I think it was so good that I doubt I will read better this year. However, I have read some cracking books over 2007 that will definitely be worth a mention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Library Nook Posted November 6, 2007 Author Share Posted November 6, 2007 Ooh I am curious as to what it it is lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freewheeling Andy Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 As always, I rarely read books that were published this year, so my "book of the year" is inevitably unlikely to be anyone else's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenmck Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Oh, I'm thinking about this. I have to narrow it down to two or three. The thing is they're nothing alike!!!! One is a mystery set in 1892 and another is a futuristic romance. *shakes head* I'm going to have a tough time narrowing the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nici Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I have my 1st, 2nd and 3rd favourite books this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Andrea~ Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I have a shortlist of two. I'm not sure I could pick a winner though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there are still almost two whole months of the year left! What if you read the most amazing book you've ever read in the next week or so? You'd have to re-evaluate your choices.

The Library Nook Posted November 6, 2007 Author Share Posted November 6, 2007 lol very true Kell! That's what I love about reading, you never know what gems are around the corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I'm not sure I fully understand your question, but I think you're asking if it's just for books that were first published this year? If that's the question, the answer is no - we do have a category for best newly-published book, but it's for books that you've READ over the course of the year, no matter what year they were first published. The categories for the 2007 awards will be posted at the beginning of January with a thread for each one where members can nominate the books, then the most popular will be chosen for the poll and voting begins. At the end of voting, the winners are announced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nici Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Kell, I think my three books would take some beating! However you are right and I have some great reads on my bookshelf! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
