Booking Through Thursday : And, The Nominees Are...
- What fiction book (or books) would you nominate to be the best new book published in 2007?
(Older books that you read for the first time in 2007 don’t count.) - What non-fiction book (or books) would you nominate to be the best new book published in 2007?
(Older books that you read for the first time in 2007 don’t count.) - And, do “best of” lists influence your reading
Well, that's kind of a difficult questions today, because, this year I re-read a lot of books, so I didn't discovered many novelties this year, but i'll try to answer.
1. In fact I've got a lot of nominees. Well, the best new books published in 2007 are...
- Eclipse - Stephenie Meyer
- The Harsh Cry of the Heron - Lian Hearn (I read it in French and it was out in 2007 here)
- The Twelve Kingdoms - Fuyumi Ono
- One For Sorrow - Christopher Barzak
- Extras - Scott Westerfeld
- Michael Tolliver Lives - Armistead Maupin
There's not an order of preference really, except for Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer, I'm reading all the series again, and it's been only a month since the last time;o)
2. I'll pass on this one, because I'm not really a reader of non-fiction, so I can't really be a good judge on the question, and those I have in mind were not published in 2007.
3. Yes, sometimes "best of" lists can influence my reading, because if other people liked those books, it must mean something, and I don't want to miss something;o)
To find Booking Through Thursday, this way!

Hearn's series has been on my to-read-list for quite a while now. The first two have been translated in Finnish and I'm waiting for the third one before starting the series.
@ Mervi
I can understand that, I was tricked several times with first books of series and at the end you realized there's a sequel, and you have to wait to have it,it's a horrible feeling. Well I read in english so that's not really a problem compared to some of my friends who are obliged to wait for french translation, but i feel frustrated all the same when i have to wait for the author to write the sequel;o)
I agree. HP 7 wasn't the best of the series, but it was the best fiction this year for me.
@OneLuvGurl
Well in fact I think I made a mistake I wanted to say that my favorite HP is not the Goblet of Fire, but The Half-Blood Prince, sorry. And fortunately we all have different taste, that's what makes this world agreable;o)
Merry Chrismas!
