Cybils Suggestions

It's that time of year again! Unlike awards such as the Newbery and Prinz, YOU have the power to make sure your favorite book from the past year is seen and considered for an award! Absolutely anybody can nominate one book for each of the Cybils categories - but, only one! In case you are having trouble with some of the categories, I have listed some of my favorites below - too many for me to nominate them all myself. If you have a few minutes, head over to Cybils.com and look over the categories, then consider giving some of these a nod!

  1. My only quibble would be Dig in - doesn't have enough narrative to be eligible.

    1. Well that's disappointing - I was expecting more mocking and less logic. Are you feeling okay today? ;)
