And NPR has some suggestions for end-of-year reading and holiday giftgiving. A sampling: Best Young Adult Fiction for 2009, The 10 Best Cookbooks Of 2009, and Alan Cheuse's extremely varied Book Picks To Warm A Winter's Night. Bonus link: Urban fantasies for 2010. Update: Nancy Pearl's list of the best holiday books you've never heard of (and for all ages).
I would add The Help to any "Best Books of 2009" list. Please! If you have a must-read from this year (old or new) add it in comments.
