    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*

    S’ok. I’ll live. Not much can make me unhappy after last night.

    @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.
