Best Books 2007

Here's a link to the School Library Journal's Best Books 2007.

I think some of the same questions we asked about awards might pertain to these types of lists:

  • What do people notice about the books as a set? In what ways are the books "diverse"? Or, whose stories are being told? In what genres? By whom?
  • How was this list constructed? How are these lists helpful? What are the limitations of such lists?
  • Anyone find a book that they think they otherwise would have missed? Any favorites that are missing from the list?
