John Schumacher's list for 2011. One nice thing about the list is that he has the book trailers for many of the titles embedded in the list. These books are more for elementary/middle
June 3-5, 2011. While this might not work for you right now, it's something you might want to try or initiate at a later date. What if you did something like this with students?
John Schumaker's (Mr. Schu) blog. Recently featured on the cover of SLJ, he's a Chicago area librarian. This page shows the top 10 books in his library this year, complete with author/book videos for each title. Great idea for reading promotion.
