The fun folks over at The Cybils have announced the winners for 2008. Last year I served on the Graphic Novels panel and it was a blast. So I was anxious to see which ones they chose this time around. Looks like Rapunzel's Revenge won for Elementary/Middle Grade and Emiko Superstar for the Young Adult category. I've got Rapunzel's Revenge on my TBR shelf. Must bump it up.  I was also happy to see The Hunger Games win in the Young Adult Fantasy & Science Fiction category ( my review here ), although I think I would have been hard put not to give it to Graceling in the end. And The Graveyard Book   won   in the Middle Grade category. I have to admit, I'm still sort of mystified as to the big draw of The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks  (winner for YA). I felt decidedly underwhelmed by it, like I was very much supposed to like it but...didn't. In any event, it looks like a fun time was had by all and you can find the full list of winners  here...

February Grimspace by Ann Aguirre This looks like the beginning of a fun, new urban fantasy series. Of which I am always up for. March A Curse Dark as Gold by Elizabeth C. Bunce The Editor recommended this one very highly. A retelling of the Rumpelstiltskin fairy tale. So awesome. April Rogue by Rachel Vincent Second in Vincent's Werecats Series. DH handed me Stray and I think I'm going to like the second volume even more. Bewitching Season by Marissa Doyle Magic and suitors and London, oh my! Ink Exchange by Melissa Marr Sequel to the most splendiferous Wicked Lovely . Creepy, gorgeous, perilous goodness. May The Red Necklace by Sally Gardner Now, I have not actually read I, Coriander . But Meg Rosoff sai...
