I never post my Best of the Year list until the year is actually over, but I like to throw a Long List into the ether around this point in December. My Long List includes every new-to-me book I’ve rated 4.5 or 5 stars over the course of the year, listed in the order I read them rather than my order of preference. It’s also prone to expand if anything else blows me away between now and December 31st. :)
