How can there be a list for the best of this year when this year has just begun?

That is insane.

YES! I find it baffling. BAFFLING! I have authors I love, but isn't realistic or fair to rate a book on past works. Each book should be rated upon it's own merit which cannot happen before reading the book.

Sometimes I will think the beginning of a trilogy is five stars, but while still great, maybe book 2 was only four stars..

It is just stupid.

It is frustrating because I do look at book ratings when considering some thing that has been recommended. It is inconsiderate to rate a book you have not read.

Yes, that is why I find it frustrating to participate in some of these lists. This list isn't called, "What 2012 books are you most excited for." I am sure that list exists and these people should be voting on that list.

Rating books that you haven't read screws up the ratings score for people who are actually trying to get a sense of how good a book is.

The list was created January 1. So at the time none of the books had been read. People just vote for the ones they are most looking forward to.

Plus by the time a book comes out in November, the ones that were on the list in January will have hundreds of votes, leaving possibly better books on the second page trying to catch up just because people have a twitchy finger.

How does a person know what their favorite books out of a year are when they are not done reading for that year?

It should be called "Best Books I Have Read So Far"..

I don't think you are taking it too seriously at all. The whole point is to help others who are considering the item being reviewed. That is true whether it is a book, a movie, or a kitchen item.

It isn't suppose to be based on your love of the author or your excitement for it's release. It is suppose to be your view of the story and writing.

I know that when I go looking for reviews on something I am going to spend money on, what I am hoping for is a persons experience with the thing itself. Not just their excitement. Their excitement doesn't help me, can be misleading, and can be expressed in better ways, like comments!

I looked at the top 100 of this list, and there doesn't seem like much that could be considered a best book of ANY year. Most of it is sci-fi/fantasy series...Some of them haven't even been published yet. I can't possibly take this list seriously. Huge disappointment as I am genuinely looking for recommendations on contemporary literature, not poorly written drivel...And while I am kvetching...if I have to read one more review where the reader simply gives a horrible synopsis of a book, I am going to scream!!!!!

NO FREAKING KIDDING!!!

What IS UP with THAT!

A review is a persons opinion and take on the storyline, and writing style. While that may include innuendos to events in the story it should never be a break down of the story bit by bit.

"She did this and then he did that, and they yatta yatta" Is NOT a review.

Whenever a review starts off, " so basically this is the story..." I know to STOP reading. I don't want a "basically this is what happens". If I wanted that I would look for a story BREAK DOWN instead of a REVIEW!

And WHAT is WITH poeple not hiding or at the very least ANNOUNCING spoilers.

I'd say go for it Tiffani but at this point even the ones that have now been published were all already voted on before they came out. So it really doesn't matter probably any more.

Tina what is unfortunate is that so many adult women now read nothing but YA books that it is hard to get recommendations even from adults.

There needs to be a duplicate of all the lists out there that are (ADULT BOOKS ONLY)! I am so tired of seeing the same teen stuff at the top of every single list it can even remotely fit on.

Oh most certainly Sita! I patrol that list once a week or so, looking for new recommendations off of it. I've read quite a few of the books on that list and found so many more to add to my 'to-read' list. It's great seeing something other than paranormal teen romances on a list.. haha

Because it has become popular for adults to read books about teen drama. It is a homage to this generations lack of maturity. If you haven't noticed by Facebook, most 30somethings are trying relive their teen years.

The "once good" dystopian world has become polluted with teen love stories masquerading as dystopian and post apocalyptic.. I HATE The Hunger Games on general purpose for bringing this flood of teen hormones to my favorite genre.

I don't understand the adult fascination with teen angst personally, but we are after all living in an emotionally stunted society.

Thanks Nancy. It is always good to know one isn't alone!

And yeah, the miscategorizing of genres is a pet peeve of mine. Fantasy and Sci Fi are not one and the same. Lately I have seen people mark ANY dystopian as YA because they haven't a clue what it is beyond that Hunger Games fit.. SIGH..

Shadow's Claim (The Dacians #1) by Kresley Cole
Reached (Matched #3) by Ally Condie (a perfect example of something that annoys me, 641 ratings for a book that hasn't even been published. Most have star ratings already that simply say "4 stars, SO EXCITED FOR BOOK!!!!!")

December:
Gone Country (Rough Riders #14) by Lorelei James
Independence (Significance #4) by Shelly Crane
Ash (David Ash, #3) by James Herbert
Black Moon (Alpha Pack #3) by J.D. Tyler
Rogue Rider (Lords of Deliverance #4) by Larissa Ione

2013:
Nightwalker (Stormwalker #4) by Allyson James

ETA: Aye carumba! Thank goodness I had the Olympic tape-delay to keep me company while going through this list! *Falls over*

Thanks, Amber! I was having a touch of insomnia last night, so it was the perfect time to sort through it =)

Wow again. I hadn't realised just how many weren't published yet! Ratings on unpublished books is so frustrating, as it getting excited by ratings and trying to get copies from the library only to find it's not available yet. Definatley need to go into a anticipated list. Thanks for your work tidying the list Tiffani.

Some people, hopefully, may have read ARC's. I know I'm only voting for those I have read. Including one I beta read for Darynda Jones.

Why are there multiple listing of the same book?

Thank you to those who have noticed and appreciated the recent list clean up! Makes it worthwhile, haha.

Different editions people vote for can end up showing up separately on the list. I just did a duplicate check and it removed 12, so there shouldn't be any more (for now) :)

Well, I voted for an advanced reader copy. Now, it has been deleted.

It is a pretty easy fix, just re-add the book.

Not if overzealous librarians are going to delete it again.

You know, it is much easier to simply re-add the book without being snarky or rude. I followed the description of the list, much to the appreciate of other people, and helped clean up this list. It is not being over-zealous; how unfortunate that you see it as such a terrible act I've committed.

A few people who genuinely read an ARC copy, such as yourself, likely had the book removed and I still feel as if the majority of the books removed were in the right, not ARC's. I apologize that your book was removed and reiterate that you ought to add it again and simply leave a comment with the title & that it was an ARC. It would've taken equal the time as your previous comment.

I've voted for a few advance copies that were only a few weeks from publication date and they were removed. Not gonna keep voting/adding if people keep deleting books.

Why are the GoodReads top 100 books mainly from the PNR/Romance/YA genre? I was hard pressed to find five books to vote for.

Surely a site a prolific as Goodreads offer a broader base of literature than just one sub-genre.

Amen, Sita. I'm stunned at the de-evolution of this generation of readers.
