Best Books of 2009

People are already starting to compile end-of-the-year "best" lists, and I thought everyone here might be interested.

The New York Times has a list of the 10 best illustrated children's books of 2009, as seen here. We have almost all of these in our library.

Publisher's Weekly put out a more extensive list, with a wider range of books for all ages, illustrated and not. It can be seen here.

Booklist Online also made a list, seen here.

The ALA also put out its 2009 Teen's Top Ten list. This list was voted on by teens, not librarians or other adults. I find it particularly illuminated for that reason. It can be viewed here.

Take a look. See what you think. Were you surprised by any of the choices? Is there a title you think should have been included that was instead passed over?
