Yay!

Two of my most favorite books of the year (that are also now on my all-time list), Hunger Games and The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks, won Cybils Awards. My students love Hunger Games, but I still have not gotten a single person to check out TDHOFL-B.

Cybil Nominations

I was without Internet access over the holiday, so I am just now looking over the final Cybil nominees. Can I just say how much I admire and do not envy people on award committees such as these? I would have a hard time finding time to read all those books. Also, I have little patience and interest in reading books that I am not interested in reading. As I've mentioned here before, there are so many that I am anxious to read that I just cannot bring myself to spend time reading others (even though I'm sure I'd end up liking many of them).

Even though I quite liked many of the nominees, I have to say that my support would definitely go to Freak Show by James St. James.
