The Cybil Finalists have been announced in several of the categories!  And what great lists there are! 

I was honored to serve on the Science Fiction and Fantasy committee where we read a huge selection of titles that ranged widely in both subject and reader age.  The panel was great to work with and so many of my favorite titles of the year made the list!  Congratulations to all of the authors and a huge thanks to the coordinators of the Cybils and my fellow panelists for making this such a highlight of my reading year.

If you have read some of the books on the lists, let me know what you think.  I have read all of the fiction picture books except one, and that is a grand list.  I have to read some more of the middle grade books because I have only read one of them!
