I'm curious how lists come about. This one must have been a collaborative effort between an old librarian and a pretty new one.
ReplyDeleteAnd on every list there are always a few odd choices. Library Lion? Really?
This list seems to have been selected by staff at Entertainment Weekly. There is a short blurb about each book at the website I linked.
