Happy New Year! Posts will resume next week with leisure reading suggestions from the VCU Libraries collections. In the meanwhile, are you looking for something to read? Lists come out all year long, but especially in December, that promote the best or most interesting books of the year. Booksellers Amazon and Barnes & Noble have both released their "Best of 2012" lists. Goodreads, a social media site for readers, has released its Choice Awards, voted on by members. The 2012 winners of the Virginia Literary Festival are another source for good reads, as well as the lists of winners and candidates for such awards as the Man Booker, National Book Award, and Pulitzer. VCU Libraries owns many, but not all, of the titles on these lists, so you may also wish to check your local public library for availability.
