It’s quite a bit longer this year because 1. we added a few new reviewers and 2. our mailboxes have been stuffed with review copies from publishers. Mostly we did not read the same books, but special mention goes to the first 10 novels which were highly recommended by more than one of us. Hover over the cover to see who recommends each book.

Honorable mentions to a couple of the best books we read this year that don’t qualify for our list :
The Best of Gene Wolfe by Gene Wolfe (science fiction)
To Ride Hell’s Chasm by Janny Wurts (reprinted in 2009)
Julian Comstock: A Story of 22nd Century America by Robert Charles Wilson (science fiction)
