The occasional overlap of winners with the James Beard Foundation is enticing (you know a book must be good when it lands on both lists), as is its expanded number of categories (even more winners!). But as always, we cant call it a year until fifteen of the games Ive reviewed have been arbitrarily compartmentalized for future reference by weirdos. The surprising development for the competition is that one author - Vivian Howard - won four categories, including Cookbook of the Year. Its been quite a year: a year of hot starts and egregious ends, of Nintendo bounce-backs and EA face-plants, of reading political news through the cracks between my fingers.
