NY Times Book Review Published Today 11/29/2009

It is that time again when the New York Times Book Review is published. Let's take a look at list that I am including below. I plan to purchase several of these books for my students and read some of these books during our story time as well.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid and the Twilight Saga are VERY popular in my library!
