I just wanted to say a quick thank you to all the fantastic commenters on my “The best of the ‘best’ lists” post. I have loved reading your responses, and now our editorial staff needs to put our heads together and start compiling these lists!
Until then, here are a few of the suggested themes for “best” lists:
- Best epistolary novels
- Best cozy mysteries with older women doing the sleuthing
- Best books you can’t put down and think about constantly
- Best fiction for men
- Best books for non-readers
- Best guilty reads
- Best books with an overweight main character
I am going to make it a personal goal to compile and post a best list a week—so stay tuned! (And please keep the suggestions coming.)



Interesting that “best books for men” made the cut, and 2 posts later you guys link to the VIDA article showing how much space men already get in the review world!
