Jen has posted the list of Young Adult Fiction Nominees for the 2006 Cybils Awards.  80 books were nominated!  I don’t envy the Nominating Committee working their way through that many titles in a short amount of time.  But I am thrilled to be on the Judging Committee and happy to read the five nominated titles in January. 

I am trying to read as many of the nominated titles as possible hoping that I will have read at least a couple of the final five titles before I am called upon to judge them.  There has been such a crop of great YA titles this year, that narrowing it to five will be tough and then selecting one will be an amazing feat.
