Alert! The “top books of 2009″ lists keep coming out – and now Sunday Times books editor Tymon Smith has just posted his, an all-SA Lit affair that features BOOK SA members Kevin Bloom, Margie Orford and Alistair Morgan.

Smith’s post, which lists the ten favoured books “in no particular order”, includes podcasts with several of the authors, recorded at different points during the year, as well as links to profiles and reviews. Don’t miss it:

It’s that time of the year again when book reviewers and editors are accosted in the street and phoned early on Sundays by anxious Christmas shoppers looking for recommendations for Dad and Mom and cousin Billy and…so here once again, in no particular order are ten books I enjoyed reading this year.
