NPR wants your votes. And so do I.

Remember when Feed was named one of NPR's Top 100 Killer Thrillers? So do I. Good times, my friends, good times.

Now NPR is looking for the Top 100 Science Fiction/Fantasy Titles. And the Newsflesh trilogy, by Mira Grant, is on the list.

To be fair, this is a popularity contest. Some amazing books are missing. There's a heavy bias toward titles published in the last five years. But still. Wouldn't it be nice to make the list?

Go ye forth, and vote!

I think they must have excluded UF/PR; there are way too many high-ticket titles missing, not just Dresdent. But they had Bridge of Birds!

Yeah, they said in their rules, "3. Horror and paranormal romance are also out, which disqualifies most of Stephen King (also a big winner in previous polls), Charlaine Harris and Stephenie Meyer. Once again, we'll cover horror in a future poll."

So I guess they're lumping those UF/PR sister genres together, even though they're really not the same thing at all. :D
