8. 2007 Year-End Random Roundup

By: Emily, on 12/15/2007
Blog: Emilyreads (Login to Add to MyJacketFlap)
JacketFlap tags: picture book, fiction, young adult, middle grade, classic, The LIST, loved it, apropro of nothing, desert island book, Add a tag

I heart year-end lists, and God knows, this is the season for them. If I bought every magazine that enticed me with the promise of The Best and Worst [Insert Category Here] 2007, I would have . . . a lot of magazines. So I figured it couldn't hurt to do my own.

Since I am a huge slagass, however, there is neither rhyme nor reason to my list, nor a tidy symmetry of best and worst, nor even a semblance of order to the number of items. (I am also baffled by Blogger's concepts of "page design" and "image placement," so forgive me if this post looks all monkey on your screen.)

Enjoy.
