The New York Times knows how to put books onto lists. They update their top seller lists weekly, and it’s helpful for those of us with hurried lives, with barely enough time to eat let alone browse for hours on end at the bookstore, searching for that perfect next read. Now that we are a month into a fresh year, The New York Times has created a list of the top 100 most notable books of 2007.

Despite the convenience of these book lists, they will not appeal to all readers, which is one of the reasons there are websites around like Dust Jacket Review. This is where subscribers like you come in. You’re part of a community of readers yet eclectic enough to reach beyond the mainstream marketplace, and this is why we want to hear about what you are reading. How about creating your own list of 100 most notable books?

Help make Dust Jacket Review a specialized community for booklovers, where readers can find other readers with similar tastes, swap comments and ideas, or join clubs to discuss the books in our lives.
