New Year’s Day brings relaxation, renewal, goal setting, and the Cybils short list! Here’s the link to check them all out.

I’m absolutely thrilled about the short list for Young Adult Fiction. There is recognition going out to titles that deserve it. We’ll know in a little over a month who will win the award in each category.

What do you think of the short lists? Any surprises? Any disappointments?

Frankly, I think the YA list is one of the most diverse lists I’ve seen of many awards contenders.
