Why Post Contest Winners?

1) They deserve more recognition for their hard work. We all love an accolade.

2) It's an easy-peasy blog post for me.

3) The real reason I post them, actually, is that you can't go wrong by reading a book from the list. In this economic climate, you probably don't want to waste money buying a book you don't like.
