Ahhhh!
That is the sound of me screaming from beneath the pile of fabulous books that have been nominated for the2006 Children’s and YA Bloggers’ Literary Awards (otherwise known as the Cybils) in the Middle Grade and Young Adult Nonfiction category. I am one of five lucky members of the Nominating Committee; we get to whittle the thirty-seven nominated titles down to a list of five finalists. I’ve already blogged about some of the nominees, and with any luck I will be able to post more soon.
This week I have read:
TEAM MOON, by Catherine Thimmesh
SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING, by Carla Killough McClafferty
ESCAPE, by Sid Fleischman
EDWARD JENNER, by Ana Maria Rodriguez
ALL MADE UP, by Audrey D. Brashich
THE BUFFALO AND THE INDIANS, by Dorothy Hinshaw Patent, Photos by William Munoz
ONE KINGDOM, by Deborah Noyes
It’s enough to keep a girl distracted from her work (finishing touches on a picture book biography and opening touches on a middle grade chapter book) and her turkey (poor Tom is not at all ready for his big day). What can I say? I am a book junkie. Can’t be helped.
What are you reading these days?
