YA Wednesday: Hiatus (Mostly) and Awards (by Bloggers)
In this edition of YA Wednesday, we have one quick announcement because I'm supposed to be on vacation...
Forget Nobel snubbery, this time it's the bloggers' turn to award the literary honors. The 2008 Cybils (3rd annual) will honor the best children's and YA books published during 2008 in the following categories:
YA Fiction
Poetry
Nonfiction Picture Books
Middle Grade Fiction
Nonfiction Middle Grade/YA Books
Graphic Novels
Fiction Picture Books
Fantasy and Science Fiction
Easy Readers
If you have a book blog or just want to add your favorites, check the Cybils blog for rules and lists of 2006 and 2007 winners. You can submit nominations through October 15. (Thanks to Jen Robinson for the heads up.)
We'll be back next week with more from the YA world. Meantime, we *finally* have A.S. King's The Dust of 100 Dogs coming up next on our reading pile, so we're catching up with all the other bloggers who love this book. --Heidi

I wonder why I cannot buy Canon EOS 50D 15.1MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only) via Amazon in Russia? I wonder how long this stupidity and ignorance will continue.

Thanks so much for mentioning the Cybils, Heidi! Especially while you were on vacation.
