Newbery etc.

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?

ALA Anouncements

I know everyone is weighing in with their favorites for the Newbery, but I am too superstitious. I will listening online with everyone else tomorrow morning hoping for my favorites of the year, but I am not going to let on as to who I have chosen. Although, I did make one prediction this summer, and I stand by that prediction. (Hint, it was not a Newbery prediction.)
