What's Coming Soon...

It's that time of the year again: anticipation and good cheer, singing and excitement, tidings of joy and peace and goodwill to men. And Christmas, too.

Of course, I'm talking about the "Best Books of 2009 (in my humble opinion)" awards. This year they're going to be bigger and better than ever, with some interesting surprises along the way. It's been a year of both endings and beginnings, and almost everything I read was quite good. We've had everything this year from the finales of PENDRAGON and Percy Jackson and the Olympians to Mistborn and The Books of History Chronicles. I've discovered both James Dashner and Joe Abercrombie, among many others. There's a lot of good reading out there, and this list will show off my favorites. The categories for this year are:
