This year, that book is Julie Anne Long's What I Did For a Duke. While I celebrate those books that made the list, I mourn the absence of this remarkable piece of writing.pjpuppymomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18234101901405553621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57166953240040768.post-75444527141504327242012-03-26T19:26:19.500-04:002012-03-26T19:26:19.500-04:00I'm most disappointed that What I Did for a Du...I'm most disappointed that <i>What I Did for a Duke</i> wasn't nominated. I thought it was one of the best books I read last year and one of the best books from an author who has turned out extraordinary work since her debut. I know from all the best of 2011 lists that included WIDFAD that I'm not alone in my opinion of it.
