- What fiction book (or books) would you nominate to be the best new book published in 2007?
(Older books that you read for the first time in 2007 don’t count.) - What non-fiction book (or books) would you nominate to be the best new book published in 2007?
(Older books that you read for the first time in 2007 don’t count.) - And, do “best of” lists influence your reading?
1. Best new book of 2007 is hard for me because I don't tend to read that many just published books. I normally wait for paperback or just have too many books waiting to bother with brand new ones. I'm also not even sure when some of the books I liked this year were published. I do know that I read the last Harry Potter book, but I wouldn't nominate it for the year's best. I also just finished T is for Trespass, which I quite liked. That might be a nominee for best series novel of 2007.
2. I do read non-fiction - mostly parenting and school related books. I don't really have a stand out in my mind that was published this year. I do read way more fiction than non fiction.
3. Yes, sometimes I'm influenced by best of lists. However, I don't normally make a decision to read them until someone else recommends them as well. That's the great part of the book blog community - lots of ideas for great books.

I think most of us are like that. We don't lay much stress on newly published books. I mentioned only a few in my list.
I am really looking forward to reading Grafton's latest book. My husband loved it.
Lit - It's nice that you can share. My husband reads way more non-fiction than I do so we can't always share.
Gautami - You're so right!
I hope to catch up on Grafton's series next year. I just finished the 'J' book.
i'm on the hold list at the library for T is for Trespass and looking forward to it.
I haven't read Grafton. I'll have to add her to my TBR list.
