All the Light was number one on our list last year, nice to see that carry forward. Station Eleven got 5 votes last year as well, and the Storied Life also featured high on the list last year.

Thanks all for your votes. What do you think? Did your favorites make it?

Thanks for the wrap up and ratings. To the question "did your favorites make it?", I have to say, no. None of them did. But that's fine. This lets me look forward to expanding my reading list in future.

Nicole, Thank you for organizing our list and thank you for carrying us over here to goodreads!

Just a comment about the move from Shelfari to GoodReads. I received a message that the transfer of my book shelf has been "successful". 35 titles and 1 review transferred, whereas I have listed nearly 800 titles and have written 500 reviews. I'm not so confident that GoodReads is a good solution, but there seems to be no way to appeal their actions. Just saying.

Joe, I would definitely contact customer service for Goodreads. They are responsive via email although whether they will do something is another story.

Also, even though I initiated my shelf move quickly, it took several days, but they did send me a CSV file and some other files that represent my shelf content. So maybe you will have more luck trying to import the information yourself? I'm not sure, but wanted to let you know that they did send more after the shelf was moved.

I have the fear of the transfer as well, I have over 4,000 to get over here.

Joe et al Re: Move of shelf from Shelfari to GR. I had the same experience 800 books moved, only one review. I have over 2,500 between TBR and Read. Those that transferred were marked read when they should have been to-read. Now I am marking them to-read and finding that some reviews transferred (more than 1) but some did not.

I have read 5 of those on this shelf and will be noting some down to put on the TBR if they aren't already there.
