The "Best of 2010" lists have continued to come in, and I'm totally amazed and delighted to find that I keep appearing on them. Who'd have thought, right? First, the big one:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/award/choice"><i>FEED</i> won the 2010 Goodreads Choice Award for Best Science Fiction Book!</a><br /><br />Oh my sweet pumpkin and pie, you guys, I won! I mean...holy cats!!! This is totally exciting, and totally amazing, and I am so overjoyed. I'm going to see about getting some new wallpapers up, to celebrate.<br /><br />Moving on to the next item on my list, <a href="http://bookbanter.wordpress.com/2011/01/11/bookbanters-top-fifteen-reads-of-the-year/">I actually wrote two of Bookbanter's top fifteen books of 2010</a>, with <i>Feed</i> coming in at <a href="http://www.livejournal.com/rsearch/?tags=%231">#1</a>, and <i>An Artificial Night</i> coming in at <a href="http://www.livejournal.com/rsearch/?tags=%239">#9</a>. Where's the love? There's the love. Oooooh, yeah.<br /><br />Oh, and also? <a href="http://www.powells.com/staffpicks/stafftop5_2010.html">Both <i>Feed</i> and <i>An Artificial Night</i> appear in the 2010 Powell's Books Staff Picks</a>, which is pretty much entirely bad-ass and amazing and I am so totally over-the-moon.<br /><br />Is this a mostly content-free post? Yes, this is, although, you know, lots of squealing and delight on my part. But I am so jet-lagged from my attempts to escape from the snowy wilds of Georgia (not a sentence I have many occasions to use) that this is about all I'm capable of. More actual substance later. For now, please accept this sizzle in place of steak.<br /><br />At least it's pretty sizzle, right? So pretty...<br /><br />Best of!
