*elbow elbow elbow*<\/p>\n
The opening round of the Goodreads Best Books of 2013<\/strong><\/span><\/a> contest is live.<\/p>\n It is full of really wonderful books. (I mean, holy crap, have you read V.E. Schwab’s\u00a0Vicious<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, yet?) A bounty of great books on there by wonderful authors: Robin Hobb, Richard Kadrey, Jonathan Maberry, Seanan McGuire, Joe Hill, Margaret Atwood, James S.A. Corey, Marko Kloos, John Scalzi, Hugh Howey, Diana Rowland and so on. Hell — three<\/em> of my Taco Brothers are on there: Kevin Hearne, Brian McClellan, Jason Hough. Proving I eat tacos with bad-ass people.<\/p>\n Again: amazing group of books and authors. Bonus: new books to buy and read!<\/p>\n Last year, I had no book in the 2012 first round — ahh, but Goodreads allows for write-in books, which is how\u00a0Blackbirds<\/strong> popped up last year. That’s awesome, because it means the readers loved the book enough to put it there. This also<\/em> means you could, ohhhh, say, write-in a book this year\u00a0<\/em>like\u00a0The Blue Blazes<\/strong> (paranormal fantasy<\/strong><\/span><\/a>!) or\u00a0Under the Empyrean Sky<\/strong> (young adult fantasy\/sci-fi<\/strong><\/span><\/a>!) were you so inclined.<\/p>\n Or you could write-in other books by other great authors you really enjoyed this year!<\/p>\n So, please go, and support the authors and books you’ve enjoyed.<\/p>\n If that includes me, fistbump.<\/p>\n If it doesn’t, no worries!<\/p>\n *burns down your house*<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" *elbow elbow elbow* The opening round of the Goodreads Best Books of 2013 contest is live.
