Friday Reads: Top Ten List

We've been conducting the #FridayReads hashtag crowdsourcing experiment for long enough now that it's no longer an experiment. Friday Reads is here to stay, and Friday Reads has something to say!

Oops, excuse me. I forgot myself for a moment. Back to my point (and I do have one).

My favorite thing about Friday Reads is seeing how many different books are in play at any one time. People are reading frontlist, backlist, borrowed books, ARCs, used books, classic literature, romance novels, YA books for adults, and so forth. However, each week as I track the comments, I do notice that some books get more than one mention. Sometimes a title gets just two shout-outs, sometimes more than a dozen.

But no matter what, there are always quite a few books that do have multiple mentions, and after talking this over with my team, we decided that it's time to debut the Friday Reads Top Ten. Each week, I'll tell you the ten books that were most talked about on Friday Reads, and give you a link and a squib to each so you can learn a little more about those titles. 

At some point in the near future I hope to have a cool little container or look for The Friday Reads Top Ten, but for now, we'll keep it simple, so that I don't make any mistakes...
