Yippee!  My part of the Cybils process has arrived.  And wonderfully, they created two judging panels for the Fantasy and Science Fiction category.  One set for middle grade and one set for YA. 

I’ve read over half of the finalists.  I have one that I’m not crazy about, three yet to read, and three favorites!   It is always exciting to see what comes out the winner! 

Here are the YA Fantasy & Science Fiction Finalists

Candor by Pam Bachorz

The Demon’s Lexicon by Sarah Rees Brennan

The Dust of 100 Dogs by A. S. King

Fire by Kristin Cashore

Lips Touch by Laini Taylor

Sacred Scars by Kathleen Duey
