The 2009 List: Read-alikes and Booklists for all audiences

Here we are ... the last post of the 2009 event.

Today's post answers the question "Can you recommend a book like ... ?" Ready-to-go booklists are really valuable (and we do have summer reading coming soon), so if you've got a link for a booklist, please add it below.

I have only included read-alike and booklists mentioned during the event. I know there are more out there -- Little Willow's lists at Bildungsroman are a personal fave. With summer reading looming on the horizon, it would be great to have share more choices.

As I have in days past, I'm including the link to Worldcat to make it easy to find these books.
