Fire won the Cybils!! And, uh, several other extremely wonderful books and you should go check out the list of winners posted yesterday if you haven't yet. I served on the YA Fantasy & Science Fiction panel and pulled really hard for Fire. I'm so happy to see such a gorgeous book win such an awesome award. Congrats, Ms. Cashore and a big round of applause for the other nominated titles and authors, the hard-working panelists, judges, and organizers!
I've been a bit scarce round these parts of late and I feel badly about it. But there is a good reason and I've been waiting until today to share it with you. Just so I could include one rather pertinent detail. It's a boy! Fortunately I'm at the point where I'm starting to feel better, so things should soon start resembling business as usual around here. I, for one, am relieved.
Yay, congrats Fire! I loved both Fire and Graceling. :)
ReplyDeleteChachic, aren't they just the most awesome companion novels ever? I cannot wait to find out what she's got in store for us with BITTERBLUE!
ReplyDeleteI still haven't been able to finishe this book! Remember how I said that the "Hero" books ruined me for a while? LOL. Maybe its time to pick "Fire" up again :)
ReplyDeleteI think it deserves it. :)
ReplyDeleteYAY! Well-deserved.
ReplyDeleteI know! I can't even decide what I like more between the two. I can't wait for Bitterblue too!
ReplyDeleteOh fantastic!! I'm so glad to hear this one got the honors.
ReplyDeleteI was so excited to see who'd won. I'm glad Fire won, but I loved almost all the books. So I wanted them all to win!
ReplyDeleteWell deserved!
ReplyDeleteElizabeth, lol! Sometimes it just takes you that way. I read FIRE at the perfect moment, but don't push it. Wait till you're feeling it and then see how the rest of it goes.
ReplyDeleteJanice, *nods* I thought you might.
Vanessa, *highfive*
Chachic, I wasn't expecting anything near the sheer awesome of FIRE after the greatness of GRACELING. My hat's off to her.
Michelle, I was really holding my breath. So pleased.
Sami, it was hard enough narrowing it down to those final few, wasn't it? From there it would have been really tough.
Liza, indeed.
