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 also needed 30 or 40 votes. As much as I love Feed and Deadline they couldn't(not just didn't but _couldn't_) make the top ten until I threw myself the little bone of, "Well... most of these I'm voting for the author is dead(and thus, at least in theory, won't care). The living need votes too." Therefore you and Spider Robinson became my votes for life. Even that was tough. David Weber, Elizabeth Moon, and Piers Anthony didn't make that cut just to name a few. Congrats on making the list( all of them! :) ) and here's hoping enough of the other voters out there feel the same. Huzzah!

That makes total sense. Thank you!
