Disclaimer: Since I am serving as a Cybils judge, I purposefully omitted any children's nonfiction picture book titles (my category) from my list.

Wow 300 books! That's fantastic! Thanks for sharing your favorites!
ReplyDelete300 hundred reads, wow! Thanks for sharing your list.
ReplyDeleteHold on a sec. I need to grab my notepad and pencil. Okay, I'm ready now.
ReplyDeleteI haven't quite caught onto the Suzanne Collins craze yet, but it's very tempting the more I hear about the books. I will probably try and hold out until the third book comes out before giving them a try. Then there won't be any waiting for the next book in the series to come out. :-)
The Thing Around Your Neck and The Help are both books I am eager to read. I am glad to see they've made your list.
I hope you have a great week!
300??? I'm in complete awe of this achievement. I've had the slowest reading year ever. I just finished my 42 book. That's half of my normal amount. Oh, well. I'm having fun selling books. Just wish I had more time reading 'em.
ReplyDeleteBut to the books on your list... I think The Help will be showing up on a lot of Top Ten/Favorites lists for 2009, don't you? It's on mine, too.
nice post!!!!!

thanks friend...
Ooh! I loved Tales from Outer Suburbia, so it'll definitely be on my list of faves for the year.
ReplyDeleteCatching fire is an awesome book. Suzanne Collins just has a way to make you want to read more and more and more! After the cliffhanger I am pumped for book three.

ReplyDeleteTHE HELP is an outstanding book. I got lost in it--just couldn't put it down. Just finished another fantastic read, ECHO HOUSE by Ward Just. Thanks for your book list!

Great list, thanks. I can't say I've ever read a graphic novel, but Tales from Outer Suburbia looks wonderful. I think I'll give it a try, thanks for the recommendation.
