I'm a Cybils Judge


I am pleased to share that this year I will be part of the Cybils! The Cybils are the Children's and Young Adult Bloggers Literary Awards. 

This year I will be part of the Elementary/Middle Grade Speculative Fiction Second Round Panel with an amazing group of people. I can't wait to get started! But before we get reading, we have to have nominations!

Starting October 1st, you can visit the Cybils page and nominate titles in each of the categories-and there are tons of categories to choose from! Picture books Young Adult to Book Apps, there is a category for all ages. So be sure to let your voice be heard and nominate your favorite books of the year that you think the judges should be reading. It's a great way to get involved and the nomination lists area great tools for reader's advisory.

So happy reading and happy nominating!!

When new girl Eleanor sits next to Park on the bus, they don't want anything to do with each other. But over the course of the school year, things change. It starts with comic books and becomes a friendship and a romance that the two will never forget. You never forget your first love. GreenBeanTeenQueen Says: Have you ever had a book sit on your shelf that you've heard so much hype about? And you think that books sounds like it would be right up your alley, but you're in a reading slump and you're afraid to give it a try unless it fails?
