File this under Unsurprising News of the Decade.  Neil Gaiman has won the Carnegie Medal for The Graveyard Book.  I’m a great lover of the book, but really, enough already.  Isn’t this getting to be a bit much?

The Greenaway Medal for illustration (which thankfully The Graveyard book did not win – seriously, it was nominated) went to Freya Blackwood for Harry & Hopper. 

Check out the news in the Guardian for a full scoop on the awards and much less snark.  I know, I should be being much nicer about it because Gaiman truly is a super hero for libraries.
