Thank you for the feedback. This was not intended as a personal shill at all... but to avoid causing offense by the fact that I included my own work as an example, I'll remove it from the list.
This is strictly intended as a means to recognize deserving authors and works that might otherwise be overlooked.
The charge has often been leveled that Locus' Recommended Reading List influences the selections without reader feedback, but it is important to note that there is a mechanism in place for supporting works that did not receive notice from the publication.
