If you are interested in seeing the list of books who received ALSC Awards this morning, CLICK HERE! If I had been on my reading game this year, I would have read ALL those Newbery books. They were everywhere. They were on every prediction list. EXCEPT one... The one I DID read :) I saw it on a few lists, but none saying too much about it. I REALLY thought it was a great book. I recommend it to everyone. I even had an ARC of the book. Now that has never happened to me before. Can you figure out which book I am talking about?

This is me, watching the video feed for today's ALA awards:
William C. Morris Award: Aaaahhhh A Curse Dark As Gold! YAY!
Printz: Aw man I was part-way through Jellicoe Road at the beginning of this month when I had to return it because of Cybils (plus it was due at the library)--but so far I'd thought it was fantastic.
Newbery,
Honors first: (thinking to myself, I will probably have read none of these this year) Aaaahhhh Savvy! YAY!
Winner: AAAHHH THE GRAVEYARD BOOK! AAAHHHH! AAAHHH! (jaw drops and stays dropped for quite some time as I yell my ecstasies...I honestly didn't expect to have read any of the honor books this year, much less the WINNER. I'm so astonished/excited! Yay me!
*edit: read Mr. Gaiman's reaction to winning.
Final thoughts: Man, with my reading of the Cybils Sci-Fi/Fantasy shortlists as a judge (which I'm loving), I'm reading some of the top, best recently pubbed children's/YA fiction out there. Sweet.

THE GRAVEYARD BOOK!!!!!!!!!! *joins in screaming*
I absolutely loved Jellicoe Road. I saw it on your sidebar when you were reading it and checked it out- read it in one day on a road trip- and read it three more times during our Christmas trip. So thank you for having it on your blog, and I highly recommend finishing it when you can :)

When they announced Jellicoe my family thought I'd been stabbed and they all came running.
:)
And I read Savvy late Sunday night. How funny is that? I LOVED it. Completely.
Screaming with you! A verse novel won a Newbery honor. Woohoo! And I've read it. :~)
I was soo excited to have read a lot of the winners, too!
And now, when people ask me who I'd most like to have lunch with (ya know, remember that seen at Yale in Gossip Girl?), I'm definitely saying Neil Gaiman. :)
