Lists, Lists, Lists!
Yesterday was full of goodness! We saw the New York Times Notables, Library Journal’s YA for Adults list (which has strong crossover with the contender list, no surprise), and a peek (via Twitter) at the SLJ list, which is full of goodness and a few surprises.
Sometime in the next few days, and as even more lists come out, I’ll have more to say — this is the kind of data I like to obsess over, after all. But today, only one list really matters: the Pyrite Printz nominations!

Also, the blogs were down last night, so we’ll close nominations at noon today (instead of midnight last night) just in case anyone was waiting for the 11th hour and then couldn’t access the blog. But barring any last minute additions, the voting will be on the following. Everyone will be able to vote for up to 10 (but no more than 10) titles. So take the morning to consider what the top books from this list of top books might be! And if you haven’t nominated yet and have something else that should be added, head back to the nominations post and go ahead.
