Seems like everyone makes lists this time of year, so I thought I’d add my ten cents worth. I’m thrilled so many people have stopped by to read Mostly NF this year, and I hope I’ve helped turn you on to a few good reads. Of all the books I’ve mentioned this year, here are the ten that attracted the most clicks.<\/p>\n

Please feel free to add your favorite read of the year — nonfiction OR<\/em> fiction!<\/p>\n

Merry Christmas, everyone. See you next year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
