Top 5 other Genre (only 3 were worthy)Lehane, Live by Night

Barry, Lunatics
Pigs.WEB Griffin, who has handed writing off to his son
Cussler, who has handed writing off to his son
Scottoline, who has ceased to make sense
I'll hold on Preston/Child, since they still have opportunity to pull out of it.
I'll hold on Evanovitch, because although tired, the books do still have some entertainment value.
I'll give honorable mention to Patterson, since one cannot tell how he is doing, since he does not seem to write the books that bear his name.
Please don't start posting yet, this thread is just for discussion of categories. I'll post all categories when I open the voting thread.Barry, I'll move your posts to that thread when I create it.

Dan, I didn't expect you to begin your New Year's Resolution of more harassment quite so soon.....
Uh oh Barry, now you got the Board Queen mad at you....If I may ask: "What else is new?"
Too funny! Glad to see Barry's rebellious nature and Dan's harassment are starting already! I liked your Pigs category, Barry!

Maybe we need a favorite font category. They always seem to waste a page at the end of a book telling us what font they used and why. For the audio types, they could vote on best reader.
Barry - The possibility of voting on Best Reader raises a pet peeve about Goodreads audio book setup... they are "just another edition" and the narrator is rarely listed most likely because the reader role is not clearly defined as a field to fill in so most of the time left off. -Barry wrote: "Maybe we need a favorite font category.

Barry, I thought I could move posts (guess I'm not omnipotent after all -- what a letdown) so would you repost in the new topic I set up? Thanks.
