This is true in all walks of life – parents need to praise their children, bosses need to recognize

This is true in all walks of life – parents need to praise their children, bosses need to recognize hard workers, and we need to congratulate ourselves on the sheer fact that despite it all, we are still standing with our sanity (mostly) intact.
Recently, Goodreads.com published their list of the best books of 2012. If you are not yet familiar with Goodreads, it is a kind of a smash-up between yelp and facebook, allowing users to create profiles virtual tours real estate in utah which list and review books they have both read and want to read, while also following friends to keep an eye on what they are reading and enjoying.
It is an excellent place to find a recommendation when trying to select your next great read, and even provides links to the major booksellers, so as not to waste any time once that book has been chosen.
Spanning virtually every genre, the awards are ready to point any reader in the right direction. While there is only one winning book for each category, the website lists all the nominees virtual tours real estate in utah as well, making it a virtual Who's Who list of good books.
For these authors, it is a year-end pat on the back indeed. I'm sure that all across the country, much like those star student certificates of yore, there are print-outs of this list carefully affixed with magnets, occupying the place of honor on the refrigerator door of these writers' mamas.
For the rest of us, who have undoubtedly achieved successes of our own this year, let's skip the Refrigerator Hall of Fame, and reward ourselves with a good book. I have a feeling we can't go wrong with any of these selections.
