There often seems to be a (huge) gap between the best reviewed and the most popular books which is why I put up two lists on the teen site, <A HREF="http://teens.arapahoelibraries.org/go2.cfm?pid=11063" REL="nofollow">Best Books</A><BR/>and <A HREF="http://teens.arapahoelibraries.org/go2.cfm?pid=11065" REL="nofollow">Popular</A>. I put Breaking Dawn on the popular list (for obvious reasons) but put The Host on the Best Books list because of the reviews and my own personal preference.Alysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05359072565866365286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6450480348169676057.post-31850280553136630812008-12-17T19:59:00.000-07:002008-12-17T19:59:00.000-07:00Hmm...I am interested as to why "Twilight" did not...Hmm...I am interested as to why "Twilight" did not make the best of the best? It is also interesting that two books that are supposed to be similar "Graceling" and "Hunger Games" are on both lists...actually I think Stephenie Meyer was reading "Hunger Games".<BR/>I am going to try out "Graceling"!:)Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14845830278794581232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6450480348169676057.post-46271119183441846792008-12-16T20:53:00.000-07:002008-12-16T20:53:00.000-07:00Thanks Alyson!
