The holidays are sneaking up on me. Like every year. We’ve been hard at work behind the scenes at VBC trying to figure out which books will make our Top 10 list for 2015. Right now it’s narrowed down to 25. There were so many magnificent books that released this year. Seriously. It was the year of awesome.
I want to know which books you’d put on the list. Our editorial team will still narrow our picks to the ultimate top 10, but we’ll include the title that gets the most votes from readers on the list, too. Now is the time for you to help recommend the best read of 2015 to everyone.
And it wouldn’t be VBC if we didn’t include an seriously excellent contest to go alongside.
Using the Rafflecopter form below, submit your picks—up to three—for the Best Book of 2014. Two notes:
