Derby #204 (I ❤ Books!): Honorable Mentions

by Randall Cleveland

Our celebration of literary pageantry produced some best sellers, metaphorically we mean, because apparently the New York Times takes issue with us trying to load up their best seller list with t-shirts. Anyway, if the winners were the bright, shiny, "New Fiction" shelf that's always so prominent, these Editors' picks are the gems hidden among the lesser-picked-over back shelves. Enjoy!

UPDATE: Our editors' all-seeing eyes must've missed one while they were seeing other things, so we have one late addition to the HM list!

So books are words basted in the blood of the innocent?
