The book editors of Salon.com have posted their
Book Awards of 2007. I like their selection criteria:
To make our list, a book has to keep us up late and be the first thing we reach for when we open our eyes in the morning. These are the books we thought about on the way to work and rushed through our dinner dates to get back to at night, the books we blocked out whole weekends to read and propped up next to our bowls of breakfast cereal. However beautiful an author's prose or important his or her subject matter, it doesn't go on our list unless we sigh every time we close the cover and just can't wait to open it again.
Salon also has a seasonal guide to the
Look Books of 2007, offering insightful annotations that help explain what makes these picture books so stare-worthy.
