Link Du Jour: Look at the Stars
Carrying around a list of the All-Time Top 10 Saved by the Bell episodes? Not very useful (I really need to clean out my wallet). A detailed list of 2009 children’s books that have received starred reviews? Now you’re talking. Over at Shelftalker, they have generously crafted such a list. Each and every aught nine title to get a star from one of the major review journals (Kirkus, Horn Book, etc.) is named.

Phenomenal resource! It’s the kind of list I wish I’d put together myself… if I had time to obsessively compulsively collate all the data. How lucky that someone else has already done all the work for me.
I agree. Such a nice thing to do.
I thought I was the only one who had a list of my top-10 Saved by the Bell episodes!
p.s. Thank you for the link. It’s such a great resource.
