As a psychologist and librarian I should probably be more excited about the latest edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Society making the top ten, but for some reason referencing standards and publication guidelines don't set my pulse racing. George R. R. Martin's A Game of Thrones series is doing well on both sides of the Atlantic at the moment, it's something I'd like to try if I can find time. Equally, The Hunger Games series has passed me by and I feel like I'm in need of a good catch-up. With a successful blockbuster to help promote sales, it's hardly surprising The Help continues to perform well. AND I wouldn't mind finding out what my own (well concealed) qualities are with StrengthsFinder 2.0. If you've read any of the top ten, what did you think?
