2010 Cybils Challenge

I'm going to do Melissa Wiley's 2010 Cybils Shortlist Challenge, which should give me good kidlit for the next few months at least.  I'm borrowing her checklist although I may also check out listography, because it seems right up my alley.  Right now I'm just copy/pasting, and I don't think I've read ANYTHING, so ignore any italics I forgot.  My first pile from the library just arrived, so I hope that changes soon.  I'll double check this list over at the Cybils page if I have any questions.
