Hey, Listopia voters, there's also a Tournament of Books group on Goodreads here: http://www.goodreads.com/group/show/3...

There has been a lot of interesting discussion there this year.

I wish people would not add books to this list that were not in the tournament. Come on ... we are all readers. Please read what the list is for. Mistress of the Art of Death and No On is Here Except All of Us were NOT in the TOB.

Hi everyone,

I have created a new group called Goodreads All Sorts and I'd love for people to join it or just even just give it a look. It's a group that discusses anything and everything. There will be monthly group reads, movies, and music. There is a folder for everything you could think of. I'd really like if people could spread the word because I'd love for the group to be a success. Here is the link to the group:

Thanks very much,
Jack :-)
