Time to Move the Booklists Around

Every September I empty the booklists from the sidebar of my learning notes blog and store them elsewhere (including print copies, when I'm that organized). So here are our 08-09 lists (I really wasn't good about writing down the ones we read at the end of the summer - there were quite a few picture books, especially in the history realm):
