Every year newspapers, magazines, blogs, and media outlets around the
world bombard us with "best of" lists. At Goodreads, it's all about
you, the reader, so instead of having our editors pick the best books
of 2009, we've created the first ever Goodreads Choice Awards! Using statistics from the site to select books in multiple genres, we compiled polls in Fiction, Nonfiction, Mystery-Thriller, Fantasy, Science Fiction, Chick Lit, Romance, Graphic Novels, Young Adult Fiction, Young Adult Series, Children's Books, and Picture Books. We also created an All-Time Favorite poll based on the top 10 most popular books (most shelved) on Goodreads in 2009.
Help us choose the five-star books of 2009! Support your favorite books and authors by voting. A total of 32 Goodreads Authors are up for awards this year (including Audrey Niffenegger for Her Fearful Symmetry, Kathryn Stockett for The Help, Dave Cullen for Columbine, and Alyson Noel for Evermore), so be sure to show them some love.
More than 20,000 votes have already been cast. Voting remains open until the end of the year. We'll announce the winners of the inaugural Goodreads Choice Awards in January.

I wish to comment on my dislike of the choices.I know I don't read every genre, so I can't vote on them all... but I only recognized three books out of the entire list of everything. The percy jackson series, Mortal Instruments, and House of Night.
Which means I only got to vote for two or three polls pretty much. And when I got to the YA section (Being YA) I was rather upset to find nothing I knew there. At all.
Also, I know it's not a genre, but you had childrens and YA...
So what about those awesome books that are too thick to be classified as childrens, but too childlike to be YA? The library usually classifies them as TEEN.
It just kind of made me feel like part wasn't represented. And I know these books are supposed to be the most popular and best of the year, but if they really truly were that popular and good, wouldn't I have at least HEARD of them?
All the same, awesome idea, and I can't wait to see who wins. Even though I haven't read them, I'm sure they're all awesome boks. I just thought there was a significant... oh whats the word... type of book missing from the choices/voting.

Hmmm. Tough question/poll. Im going to go with Nightlight, as I just finished it and strongly hate Twilight.
Shanghai: David Rotenberg: Books5 May 2009 ... David Rotenberg is the author of five mystery novels set in Shanghai Very well written series of books. Very informative as well

Sorry to burst your bubble, but none of those came out in 2009. The New Moon MOVIE did, though.

Not only did none of these books come out in 2009, but they weren't well written, and you spelled "Breaking" wrong
