We have also arranged the Book Group Choices chronologically, Jan. 2009-July 2010 by date
Each 
indicates how many bookgroups have
selected the title since 2002, as we have carried over the stars from earlier
author lists (see below). No s means the book has only been selected once. Non-fiction titles are in Bold. Children's titles have a juv after the title and Young Adult titles have a YA .
