Top 10 Fantasy Books due in 2012

This post (posted by me) was to show the participants in this thread that 'Cold Days' was the 4th most anticipated release in the genre for 2012 as the editors of Fantasy Faction interpreted it from the sources they listed.

As I said above, "as the editors of Fantasy Faction interpreted it from the sources they listed". So where's the mistake? It was their interpretation of the sources they listed!?

So you'd vote/decide differently, SO WHAT!
Sorry, I got a little rude here, but I stand by that I said.

Correct, it's not about what you want to be #1, agreed! But it's also not about what you claim "really is #1"! And it's also not about where someone is in their reading of any particular series. It's about the anticipation for the release of books that are scheduled to be released in 2012.
