What are the PW’s requirements in deciding what books are the best of the year?

I think it’s an editorial decision.

Does it matter to them that some books have yet to come out? *sobs for Dec release*

My guess is that they’ve read their December ARCs. Poor Carrie.

NO arcs for ZebDu releases. *more sobbing*

@Carrie Lofty – oh noes! That does suck. Maybe once all these reviewers get e-readers you can submit a book via email. It seems that all the publisher houses gave their staff ereaders in the last year.

I read Deadly Deceptions and liked it, but it was by no means one of the best books this year.

Nicole – Like the Oscars and the Ritas, this list is subjective.

ETA: If I was making up the list, I’d add in SEP and Tami Hoag and a whole whack of people would figuratively look at me askance.
