  1. Thanks for including my list! What was your favorites book(s) from the year? I had a really hard time choosing between “Let’s See” and the “Colour” anthology.

  2. Thanks for the great list, Marion. I don’t have a list of my own of favorite books from the current year, as I tend to buy older books as much as new ones and don’t pay that much attention to what’s current. That’s why I pointed to your list and the others.

  3. Thanks for this Charlie – very useful

    I’m like you, my book buys are frequently not recent publications but it’s always good to see what gets rated – and to look to see if there’s anything I’ve missed.
