Do you still have some money to spend, or wondering how to start once the new year begins? You might want to check the Best Books of the Year Mashup created by Nora Rawlinson at the Early Word Blog. She has created a spreadsheet of books that have made various Best of the Year Lists (School Library Journal, Kirkus, Publishers Weekly, New York Times, etc.). This way you can sort the spread sheet in a variety of ways (by age group, by number of lists it made, by type of book, for instance). Super cool!!Labels: booklists, collection development, starred reviews
