Loved this. I'm always asking editors and agents I work with what they're excited about having read recently. I've gotten some great recs that way, and it also gives me insight into the ed/agt's tastes.
I love having these lists. I've found some great books (and reviewed a few of them here!) to read this way. Asking someone what they're reading is a great, fast way to establish a dialogue and/or to open a query process. There isn't anything like a discussion of books to break the ice with an agent/editor or anyone. Thanks for this link, Joni.
