Only the Best for You

I’m sorry to have let The Rap Sheet go pretty quiet over the last several days, but my attention has been drawn away to writing and editing many of January Magazine’s “Best of 2011” reviewlets. In case you haven’t noticed yet, I just posted the first section of this year’s crime-fiction choices. You can read those here.

Part II of those crime-fiction write-ups should appear soon.

Previously published were January critics’ picks of this year’s best art and culture books, best biographies, best books for children and young adults, best cookbooks, and best science fiction and fantasy novels. Non-fiction and general fiction choices are to be announced later this week.
