Great list! I'm not ready to post mine just yet since I still have to finish a few more for the Mock Printz. I can't believe that we are at the year's end already!
What is funny to me is how my list is so incredibly dominated by fantasy and science fiction.
and I love that your picture book list is boy books. :)
How funny! I actually didn't notice that. I really tend to dislike "sweet" books and find them syrupy and vomit inducing.
Catching Fire is an AWESOME book

There are so many on your teen list that I haven't read! Off to see if my library has them... :)
Kelly are you in Austin? They are all at the Austin Public Library.
