CYBILS 2011

It's that time of year again!

Time to nominate the best books published since October 2010 for a CYBILS AWARD.

There are lots of different categories- fiction picture books, nonfiction picture books, early readers, middle grade novels, YA novels, YA nonfiction, science fiction/fantasy, graphic novels, and this year, a brand new category for book aps.

Nominations are open from now until October 15th.

Eligibility rules are here.

The nomination form is here.

I have been a CYBILS judge for the last four years.

I started out as in middle grade nonfiction,

then did two years of nonfiction picture books,

and this year, I'm a first round judge in POETRY!

Each year, I have totally loved being a judge.

I love reading all the great new books.

I love working with the other judges-

getting to know a whole new group of readers and the books they love

I love trying to predict which books are going to win.

I can't wait to get started!
