Publishers Weekly's Best Books of 2007!

PW recently announced its picks for the best books of the year. I know, the year's not over yet. But they will have read and considered books right up until the end of the year at this point. (Consider that their reviews run two or three months before a book actually publishes.) Still, a bit early, but maybe they want to set the tone a bit.

If so, no complaints from me - Acacia made the list! They report that they reviewed six thousand books this year and narrowed that done to just 150 for the list. Nice to have made the cut. I'd say that this means something to me, sure. I'm happy. But of course there were plenty of wonderful books that did not make this list. That's just the nature of lists, though. I'm glad to be here this time.

Here's what it looked like in the Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Horror category...

Inferno, edited by Ellen Datlow (Tor)
Acacia, by ME!
Ilario: The Lion's Eye, by Mary Gentle
In War Times, by Kathleen Ann Goonan
Bright of the Sky, by Kay Kenyon
The Name of the Wind, by Patrick Rothfuss
The Winds of Marble Arch, by Connie Willis
