Last minute excitement…
Major Awards are announced tomorrow.
Noooo, not that frageelay award.
The big big major awards…The ALA Youth Media Awards
Like the Newbery! The Printz! The Caldecott! The Coretta Scott King! The Schneider Family Award! And lots lots more.
You can watch it live HERE - at 7:45 AM EST. Which is really early here on the west coast. If I manage to get up that early on a holiday I should be writing!
But so eager to get loads more book recommendations. And hoping I’ve read at least some of the winners. That’s always one of my goals. To have read the major players – or at least heard of them.
To be updated…

***UPDATE***
Check out the list of winners
I’m thrilled that WHEN YOU REACH ME won the 2010 Newbery. In the not so distant past there was some discussion as to whether Newbery winners would even appeal to young readers – well this is one book that I would not hesitate to recommend for virtually any young reader. Congratulations to Rebecca Stead with her all-powerful mind.
GOING BOVINE by Libba Bray is the Printz winner – I had just picked that one up on Friday. Looking forward to diving in.
Other than that… I had heard of many of the award winners but have not yet read them. Hooray! Excellent books on the near horizon.
