The first update of the new year is published.  The Best 100 Children’s Books List has just been updated.  The new list has added 20 new books bringing the total list to 50.  As more votes continue to come in the list will eventually be expanded to 100.   If you have not already cast your vote for the best 100 childrens books please do so before the next update.

Next on the schedule is the Best 100 Movies to be published next Monday the 10th of January.  You can also expect to see the initial list of the Best 100 Movie Directors published between now and then.  The rest of the new lists will also be published in the coming weeks so be sure to check back often.

The Best 100 Children’s Books list has just been updated.  The list still has relatively few votes when compared to some of the other lists so I expect it to still change quite a bit over time.   For this reason, I have not compiled a complete list as of yet.  The list did, however, go from 15 children’s books to 30 in this update.  The entire list changed quite a bit in this update including the former number one book, Green Eggs and Ham, moving all the way down to #6.  To find out who took over the top five spots check out the entire list at The Best 100 Children’s Books.

Make sure to check back next Monday for an update of The Best 100 Movies List.

Finally the second in a series of many updates is complete.  Since there hasn’t been a ton of votes cast for the Best 100 Children’s Books List thusfar, only the top 15 are currently listed on the initial list.

Some authors like Dr. Seuss, Roald Dahl and Shel Silverstein seemed to dominate the first run of this list, but I think that was to be expected to an extent.  The list is topped by an old classic that nearly everyone has read at some point or another, and many can recite word for word, Green Eggs and Ham.  Dr. Seuss makes the list 2 other times as well with The Cat in the Hat and How the Grinch Stole Christmas.

Remember to also continue to check back all this month as updates to all 13 lists will be completed in the next two weeks.

With the update to the site we decided to branch out a bit and see what kind of interest we got in any other best 100 lists.  We created a new page where you can suggest new ideas that you think might be cool best 100 lists.  If there is any interest in any one particular subject we will create a new online poll for that subject.  The page is here: New Best 100 Lists.

In the past month or so we have added:

• The Best 100 Television Shows
• The Best 100 Video Games
• The Best 100 Works of Art
• The Best 100 iPhone Apps
• The Best 100 Children’s Books

A few of these lists are nearly ready to have their first Best 100 List generated(really only a best 25 list to start).  They could all use more votes so please weigh in on your favorite of whatever list catches your eye.
