So, for those of you who don't know, I've been chosen as a panelist for the 2010 Cybils award on the Young Adult Fiction panel.
*uncontrollable shrieking and jumping up and down*
Ahem. Yes, I'm very excited.
So, let me tell you a little about how the Cybils are going to work. First, people nominate books. And by people, I mean YOU. If you haven't nominated your favorite book of the past year yet, then you need to. Just click here. You have until October 15th!
Then we read, read, read. We've already started. This is the part I plan on chronicling here. Every book nominated is required to be read by at least two people, and at least 50 pages need to be read. After that, we battle it out to come up with a shortlist of 5-7 titles.
Those titles go to the Round Two judges. They have to read all of the books shortlisted, and then they will make a decision about the winner.
Are you all psyched? I'm psyched! This is going to be awesome!
