Books We Read – January
Happy New Year! I knew December was crazy and that I’d gotten behind, but I had no idea until I started working on this post that I had obliterated our December reading list post (overwrote it is more accurate). Crud. The good news is that you’ll find all those books on our Books Read in 2010 list.
Received: 24 (1 Cybils nominee) ….. New Reads: 30 ….. New Reviews: 22
Please use these category headings to “jump” to your favorite children’s and young adult book categories. We hope this makes the monthly list (and our annual list pages) more enjoyable for you … not to mention a little more manageable to browse.
