for my reader type friends

Yanked from libraries. Some of these looked interesting to me and I thought you guys might be interested in looking them over...

A reading list from RUSA’s Collection Development and Evaluation Section. A juried list of the best 2007 titles published in eight genre areas for adults—fantasy, historical fiction, horror, mystery, romance, science fiction, women’s fiction, and adrenaline (suspense, thrillers, and action titles). The first list of eight winning titles will be announced at the CODES awards reception during the ALA Midwinter Meeting in Philadelphia, January 27.

ETA: only fiction, non-fiction, and 3 poetry shortlists are here. I wish I could get ahold of the rest of the shortlists...
