Quick and Dirty Cybils Nominations (aka My Longest Blog Post Ever)

My book budget always goes out the window when the Cybils nominations close. This week the (mostly) final lists of nominations * came out, and I immediately grabbed a stack of order cards and went to print the list. Then I realized the list would be over 200 pages, and decided to hold off on clicking "Okay" just yet.

If you are not familiar with the Cybils Award, it is a nice cross between awards given to books with literary merit but little appeal (yes, I'm looking straight at you, Newberys) and books that are popular with kids, but...hello, Goosebumps! Two separate teams of judges for each category come up with a shortlist, then a final winner, that has both literary merit and popular appeal. I know anything on the shortlists I can safely order and expect high circulation. 

One of the things I love about Cybils is that anybody can nominate a book, you don't need to have a great agent or belong to a big publishing company. If you wrote a book and your mother thinks it was wonderful, she can nominate you. Heck, you can nominate yourself! This gives a chance for many little gems to shine that might otherwise be missed. I was pleased to see some independent publishing groups scattered liberally through the nominations this year.

Finalists aren't announced until January 1, but who can wait that long? (Hint: not me.) I like to start looking through the lists now to see what I missed (Wait - there's a Mac Barnett I don't have??) and what was nominated by bloggers and authors I trust. I don't necessarily order everything that was nominated - as a former judge, I can say that sometimes a book WAS nominated by the author's mother, or somebody equally biased, because...yeesh! - but, I do like to at least have them all on my radar.

Of course, first this means cross-referencing the list with what I already have, or have made order cards for already. And at 200 pages? The keeper of the copier would shoot me. So, I have spent most of today paring the entries down to just title and author, and am posting them here for anyone else who wants to double their monthly book order! If you want more information, do click on over to Cybils.com and spend some time.

* publishers still have a few days to nominate books that missed out.
