I see that the Diane Chamberlain book is on the third place! I do have a copy of this book on my kindle so I must give it a try. Just read my first book by her. The Confessions of a Midwife.

Question. do you guys only add books that you gave 5 stars or do you also add 4 star books?

Oh wow! I see we have reached 100 books!! Yay! thanks for voting. I love getting to see what you guys have read and loved.

I have added a few 3 stars, if I think it's a valid beginning to a series, for example. But also 4 stars. I haven't read too many 5 star books this year.

ETA: but I'm going to limit myself to 9 books, so some will come off the list as I read others which I think are better.

yes I think so to Susanna. I just finished a book I enjoyed from start to finish. I gave it 5 stars because I enjoyed it so much. Its been too long and does not happen often enough this year. That a book captivates you from page 1 till the end. Left Neglected by Lisa Genova was that for me.

I read the list as it might be as you explained, but that was not my first 'take,' based on other lists that are 'just' for say best books of 2012. I do like that there are lists for older folks. I know my reading genera are much different than many in their early 20's it seems. Maybe 'we' can populate some further categories for readers over 35 yrs old - this one certainly has a lot of variety & entries on it. I know in other 'groups' I have belonged to, it helps often to branch off in age groups - ie hip replacements for folks under 30 yrs - that was a biggie difference vs. talking to ones who were 72 and 75 getting a hip done! Ditto when it comes to books.

Hi there. Have not been ere for a while. I just added a few books. I did decide to also add 4 star books cause if I give them 4 stars I really liked them.
very happy to see we have 5 pages now.

S You mean make a list for people over 35 but under 55? something like that? Or favourite YA books o no we have so many YA lists, and they would be the same as the other YA lists I guess. Rolls eyes) favourite chick lit, horror, you name it lists for the over 35's?

yes. I just read about it in the comments on your list. Then I visited the Badly behaving authors list. I voted but after a second I decided to remove the votes. Those authors will do anything to get their books out there on lists. Negative or positive, and I do not want to abide to them.

9 people voted for it. hmmmm How can I see if it is fishy hayes?

ETA: first person has voted for 2 of this authors books only, on many lists.
second person the same thing. She added a bit more books, 2 but on all lists and they are many 2 of his books.

OMG. 9 pages of all the lists she voted for the zombie book!. I never knew people would take out so much time to push a book.

Third person exactly the same pattern. Votes zombie book on all lists he or she can.
I wonder will one of those 9 voters be genuine?

Okay I did check all the people that voted for that book. All of them with no exception have added the same 2 books by the same author to so many lists, 8 to 10 pages long that I have decided to delete it. I don't mind if a book all of a sudden climbs high in the top 20 but I like it to be fair.
