Best of 2008 Preview

As the end of the year nears, it is time to start thinking about the books that really stood out in 2008. We've already picked half the books for our Top 10 Books of 2008 list, and there are several others that I'm pretty sure will be included. Before I finalize the list, though, I wanted to see what you thought. Which were your favorite books of the year? Did you love one of the hot debuts, or did you find a new favorite from an old author? Leave a comment or shoot me an e-mail and I'll consider "readers' choice" as I pick the last five books for the list.
