WHAT? What? WHAT? Yes. First Post of 2013 and you guys are looking at a fab New York Times Bestsellers post...and nothing much has changed. I'm beginning to feel that the NYTB is more book politics then actually good books. I'm sure that the books on here are fabulous (I've read some of them as well and won't doubt that some of them are AMAZING) but they just keep repeating themselves over and over again. I mean, i get it ALREADY. YES YES. They've been on the list for a while and it's time for other books to jump aboard. You already get the title, you don't need to stay on the list forever!So Here's The List:
