I agree with Brandon. The top 20 authors monopolize the list each week and their books are not always that good. There are gems out there you almost find by accident or word of mouth.
Beantown Girls, and it was very good. I am now reading Tales of Burning Love--interesting.
1st this year - The Last Christmas (Repairman Jack #16) by F Paul Wilson.
It's a good way to see through all the books by reading this list. Lots of books in this list I haven't tried to read it yet, great to find them and notice myself to read them one day.
