All right, Readers, we listened! Here once more is The Stars So Far, a project gathering all the year’s starred reviews for children’s and YA books from Booklist, The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books, the Horn Book, Kirkus, Publishers Weekly, and School Library Journal (and VOYA — Voice of Youth Advocates — whose starred titles will be added in the next update).
Starred reviews are excellent guideposts, but they don’t tell the whole story, of course. There are amazing books out there that never receive a starred review but are popular and/or critical favorites nonetheless.
So far, I’ve logged 719 starred reviews, representing several hundred titles. This is a detail-laden process, and as careful as I try to be, there will be bobbles here and there. For instance, I try to cull all reviews of 2012 books from 2011 and 2012 review sources, but there were some technical difficulties accessing some data from Kirkus’s 2011 fall indexes; those are being corrected in the upcoming week.
Publishers, please alert me to any oversights at ebluemle AT publishersweekly.com, including the review sources and dates for the starred reviews. Thanks! Please do NOT send VOYA stars. As I mentioned above, the VOYA stars will be included in the next update. (Please also do not alert me of missing price and/or ISBN info from a correct title entry. This will be completed shortly.) Please note: starred reviews are counted only when they have been officially published by the review magazines, so if your book has an upcoming star, never fear; it will be included in a future update.
If you want the cleanest, most consistently formatted version of this list, check back here several days after the original post, when I’ll have been able to make any fixes.
Receiving a starred review is a rare and wonderful honor for a book and its creators, so we hope this list will be a handy resource for buyers of all stripes. The list was compiled from all the review sources by one little indie bookseller, not by Amazon or B&N, so if you are using this as a purchasing tool, please consider ordering from any of your favorite independents instead of a chain or online megastore. If you don’t have an indie near you, you can find independent bookstores that sell online at Indiebound.org.
Happy reading!
