After several weeks of not much from the library, I've taken it upon myself to keep them in business (or I guess just busy). Actually, I really lucked out at being one of the last minute
Round 2 judges for the Cybils. Which thrills me to no end, because I really wanted to be a judge, but didn't get chosen. Then, surprise! It's pretty awesome. Anyway, I'm helping out with the MG Sci-fi/Fantasy titles. You can see the
short list at the Cybils blog. (Incidentally, I've only read one of these books,
Silksinger, so I'm pretty thrilled to have lots of new reading.) All this adds up to: more books from the library!

Anything wonderful from the library for you?
If you buy through my Amazon linkage,
I will get a very small percentage
How exiting for you! It will be fun to hear what you think of these books.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on being a judge! Fun stuff!
ReplyDeleteI've still got the same big library pile I had weeks ago... because I still haven't read them!
Better read some... half of them have already been renewed 3 times...
We haven't been to the library much in the last few weeks because we all got so many new books for Christmas. :-) Have fun with the judging!
ReplyDeleteHey, I just got Odd and the Frost Giants, too. :-) And I hope you like Every Soul a Star. It was one of my favorite reads of 2008...
ReplyDeleteKim, I won't be posting reviews of the books until after Feb 14, but I'm super excited all the same!
ReplyDeleteBritt, it's probably a good thing my library only has one renewal. I would never get the books read on time!
Gayle, I probably shouldn't be going with all the books I own lying around...but I keep going anyway!
Melissa, I've heard only good things about Every Soul - looking forward to reading it.
