Note I haven't read any of them - which is why my 6 month list has 44 books in it. I just used Locus and Amazon to get the early 2005 books and checked to see if the readers were approving and if I thought the SF&F people I know (and me) might like them. Interesting that Foop! was not on the Locus list.
Oh, I read all but 2 of the 20 geek books, I am a geek. I just haven't read any of the books published this year.
Fantastic web site, I hadn't noticed elemming.blogspot.com earlier in my searches!
Carry on the great work!

Linking is free. Or maybe I should say linking is $1000 and make some money. Except for the partial year from Amazon those are not mine.
