Last year I shared a list of books with you that I still think is pretty stellar (as in, "I worked really hard on it!"). I would still recommend all of last year's picks if you don't already have the ones you want, so what I'm going to do this year is just list out the books that are new this year in the various categories that everyone seems to like!
