Pat's Fantasy Hotlist picks the best of 2006, and names R. Scott Bakker's The Thousandfold Thought as best novel.

Bookgasm also lists the best of 2006, and likes The Chinatown Death Cloud Peril by Paul Malmont best of all. (Bookgasm's remit covers mysteries and thrillers as well as SF/Fantasy/Horror; but they also had a list of the "5 Best Sci-Fi Books of 2006" -- that sci-fi word again! it burns us! -- with Ian McDonald's Hugo-nominated River of Gods in first place.)

Bookgasm also also had a year-end round-up by their reviewer Mark Rose, who listed five books as the best he reviewed in 2006 (including Her Majesty's Dragon by Naomi Novik, Farthing by Jo Walton, and Eifelheim by Michael Flynn.)

 Abigail Nussbaum lists her favorite books of 2006.

Niall Harrison urges all BSFA members to nominate for their annual awards, and provides some suggestions.
