I certainly don't need anymore lists of books! <br /><br />The two prize lists I do like to keep up with are the Red Clover books and the Dorothy Canfield Fisher books. These lists are different because they nominate a bunch of children's books and the kids get to vote for the winner! As a teacher, I like that idea. :-)Nanhttp://nanscorner.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2263295136331930331.post-54501502461133762922009-06-16T14:05:11.243+05:302009-06-16T14:05:11.243+05:30I can't wait to hear what you think of Angels ...I can't wait to hear what you think of Angels Advocate and A world I never made.

I am immediately drawn to books with boats and or water references in their titles or as cover illustration. This one sounds good above and beyond my natural inclination. :-)<br /><br />As for the prize winners, I completely agree with you. I will concede that they are generally well-written but you can have a well-written flop thanks to personal opinion (and the judges are, of course, human) just as easily as a well-written award-worthy book. And sometimes I completely and totally disagree with the award-worthy designation. :-)<br /><br />My mailbox is here: http://booknaround.blogspot.com/2009/06/monday-mailbox_15.htmlKristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07651401312450990123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2263295136331930331.post-85034784531479139422009-06-15T17:38:35.082+05:302009-06-15T17:38:35.082+05:30You have a great list of books there from the book...You have a great list of books there from the books you got in to the ones you plan to review soon. <br /><br />I have tried to include more prize winners just on general principle, but the book still has to interest me to begin with.
