2010 Cybils

It's a little difficult to believe, but it's that time of year again. The Cybils are right around the corner and the panelists and judges have been announced. This will be my third outing working on a panel for the Cybils and I couldn't be more pleased to be a part of such a wonderful endeavor. This year I'll be happily serving on the first round panel for the young adult science fiction and fantasy category. Here's our team this year--a very fine one I must say:


Steve Berman, Guys Lit Wire
 Tanita Davis, Finding Wonderland
 Leila Roy, Bookshelves of Doom
 Sheila Ruth, Wands and Worlds
Angie Thompson, Angieville
 Hallie Tibbetts, Undusty New Books
 Heather Zundel, Secret Adventures of WriterGirl


Nominations get going in a little less than a month now. What books will you be looking to nominate this year? For my part, I can't wait to get started. Let the deluge begin!

    wow Angie, thats amazing! I'm trying so hard to try and think up a book that falls in that category and not coming up with much. I did however really really love Mistwood, such amazing writing.

    Oooh you're a Cybils panelist! How fun! It must take a lot of work though. I can't imagine how many books you have to read and discuss for this.

    Congratulations! You definitely need to be on this panel! (As well as the others, just an awesome set of reviewers!)

    I'm so excited to be judging for the Picture Book category for the first time this year. I have no idea what to expect exactly, but I know what I want to nominate! :o)

    Carla, Mistwood's a great choice! Should definitely be nominated.

    Heather, me too. I love watching all the nominations roll in.

    Chachic, lol. Yeah. The Round 1 panelists end up reading A LOT of books. I'm rolling up my sleeves as we speak...

    Melissa, wonderful! So happy you stopped by. I'm very excited to participate again this year. Will keep you guys posted on the progress.

    Michelle, that about sums it up. Will try not to drop on any hard surface this time. hehe.

    Sami, I wish you could too! It was great fun last year working with you.

    Michelle, woo-hoo! I'm excited for you, too. It's a ton of work but very, very satisfying on the whole.

    Em, thanks! I'm happy to be involved again. Such great people.

    1stdaughter, it is a great set. I love each of the other judges. I'm so glad you're on the picture book category this year. You are going to LOVE it! I already know what I want to nominate in that category as well. :)

    Every year I consider applying to be a panelist, but living abroad makes it too difficult for me to get the books. Have fun!

    Lenore, you would love it. I'm sorry the distance thing is a factor. I'll try to have enough fun for the both of us. lol.

Darkest Mercy Cover Art

I know you've likely seen this cover already, but it's frankly too pretty not to post. Also, it's Donia. And I love Donia. This is the cover for Darkest Mercy --the fifth and final book in Melissa Marr 's Wicked Lovely series. And just for fun, I thought I'd post all five covers side by side here now, both to show the arc of truly lovely cover art for a series, and to try to determine which one is my favorite. First of all-- so pretty . This series has just had consistently gorgeous covers and I love seeing that, especially for a series I've followed and enjoyed (I should say that has inspired the full range of human emotions in me--which can only be a good thing--even when I'm railing against some bit of nonsense Keenan got himself up to). Second, as far as my favorite goes, it's definitely down to either the cover of Ink Exchange or the one for  Darkest Mercy . I love them both. But I think, I think , I'm gonna have to go with Ink Exchange . Bec

Bibliocrack Review | The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood

 Hi. Hey. Hello there. It's been a . . . well, you know what it's been. We're all still living this together. So I will simply skip to the fact that I couldn't not review this book here. Because reading it was something special. I knew nothing about Ali Hazelwood 's debut novel except that it involved women in STEM and that the cover made me smile. I decided to set it aside for myself as a reward. Work has been . . . punishing . . . for the last year, and I have been so exhausted every hour of every day. And so I determined to buy The Love Hypothesis  on release day knowing nothing about it. But when I went to the bookstore to get my copy, none were available. In fact, none were available anywhere for love nor money, in store or online. At first I was moderately disappointed. Then I told myself maybe it's not that great after all and I didn't necessarily need to feel this preemptive sense of loss. But it kept gnawing at me. The loss. And so I paused work an

Such a Rush by Jennifer Echols

I can't quit Jennifer Echols . Not that I really try that hard, but I read her new ones and often feel as though I'm still searching for that one in possession of that certain something that will make me feel the way  Going Too Far did. Like I couldn't put it it down. And definitely like I didn't hate either of the main characters after the fact. Well, I found it with Such a Rush . I read this 300+ pager in a single night, which clears up the question of whether or not I couldn't put it down. And I finished it definitely not hating either of the main characters. I didn't finish it loving them both unreservedly, though. I loved Leah with my whole heart from page one and that never changed. My feelings regarding one of the Hall brothers remain complicated. More to come on this in a bit. On a side note, I'm delighted that Such a Rush is Ms. Echols' hardcover debut. It's a meticulously designed book, a pleasure to hold in my hands as I stayed up way
