Best of the Year Lists

It’s that time of the year again when the Best of the Year lists covering  a motley array of topics are sprinkled throughout the web. Publishers Weekly created quite a stir when its top ten books of the year list was released with an absence of female authors. In response, Women in Letter and Literary Arts created the WILLA list wiki to highlight some favorite books authored by women and published in 2009. What are your favorite books of the year?
