This week, Goodreads announced their Choice Awards 2012 winners. I'm partial to this particular list because the site is a social network for book lovers (think Facebook for people who are habitually hiding behind a book cover), and the list is generated entirely by votes cast by the website users.
Anyway, without further ado, the winners are....
Best Fiction: The Casual Vacancy by J.K. Rowling
Best Mystery & Thriller: Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
Best Historical Fiction: The Light Between Oceans by M.L. Stedman
Best Fantasy: The Wind Through the Keyhole by Stephen King
Best Paranormal Fantasy: Shadow of Night by Deborah Harkness
Best Science Fiction: The Long Earth by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter
Best Romance: Fifty Shades Freed by E.L. James
Best Horror: The Twelve by Justin Cronin
Best Memoir & Autobiography: Wild by Cheryl Strayed
Best History & Biography: Elizabeth the Queen by Sally Bedell Smith
Best Nonfiction: Quiet by Susan Cain
Best Food & Cookbooks: The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food From My Frontier by Ree Drummond
