Fascinating! Thanks for posting this, and Happy Christmas!
Impressive!! Diary of the wimpy kid are there!!
my latest review: HERE
Wow, cool lists! I am a sucker for lists, always wanting to know about most read books and so on. It's interesting to see what boys like and what girls like. They don't have a book in common, hm. Hehe, Captain Underpants is epic, I remember reading that myself. I'm surprised Percy didn't make it to the girls' list. I know quite a few girls/young women who love the Percy Jackson books. Including you.:)
P.S. Yay for Christmas holidays!
Thanks for the shout out! :) It's interesting to see what is read in my classroom vs. your library. Diary of a Wimpy kid is popular over here as well as the Percy Jackson series. I haven't heard of some of the "girly" books though. Thanks for sharing this! Enjoy your time off!
My son (8) is a big Wimpy Kid fan!
Looking forward to sharing mine :0)
Great list! Funny books do seem to have taken the popularity crown lately, especially among MG readers. I find Diary of a Wimpy Kid's popularity pretty funny, because when I remember going on Funbrain.com (a kids' educational site) when I was about ten and reading the entirety of the first two books in the Wimpy Kid series. All for free! Humble beginnings, I guess. :)
Great list. Very interesting to see the things they are choosing and to compare the differences between teh boys and the girls. Thanks for poting this. :)
What a fun, fun list and an excellent idea for a post, I love it :)
That's indeed a very cool idea. I only have read one book and that's Striker: Sudden Death by Nick Hale! lol.
This was a great list for me to see as I have some more Christmas shopping to do for some little cousins!
I was happy to see that Twilight was not on your girls list! It's nice to know that the under-14s aren't there yet....
I was glad to see My name is Mina in there. I might add that to my list of reads for 2011.
Those Wimpy Kid books are everywhere! I have absolutely zero idea what they're about, but I keep seeing them to the point that I probably should look 'em up or something. I've actually bought my niece some of the My Sister's A Vampire books because they look *so* fun, and I do want to read Angel Cake. Interesting how different the two lists are.
