National Book Critics Circle Awards - fiction finalists

Shortlists for the 2009 National Book Critics Circle Awards were announced on January 23rd at the Housing Works Bookstore Cafe in New York city.

The NBCC, which has been around since 1974, is a non-profit organization comprised of 600+ book reviewers in the United States.

Seems like a good place to pick up a few reading suggestions...

Fiction finalists:

American Salvage: stories, by Bonnie Jo Campbell

Wolf Hall, by Hilary Mantel

Lark and Termite, by Jayne Anne Phillips

The Book of Night Women, by Marlon James

Blame, by Michelle Huneven
