Just a data point

Remember all the fuss on other blogs about a fantasy entitled Touched by Venom? Welp, it was chosen by Library Journal as one of the best Genre Fiction reads of 2005:

SF & Fantasy
Bisson, Terry. Numbers Don't Lie.
Clarke, Arthur C. & Stephen Baxter.
Cross, Janine. Touched by Venom.
Eschbach, Andreas. The Carpet Makers.
Palwick, Susan. The Necessary Beggar.

*shrug* All a matter of taste, I suppose.

I'm glad to see The Carpet Makers on that list, though. That was a good book.

I just found it interesting.

Must look up the other titles...except for the Baxter/Clarke, which is apparently a guess-me-quick.

They say that any publicity is good publicity, and Cross got an awful lot of publicity from that sampler...
