We’re Out! But before We Go, let’s talk Printz 2016
Well, another season has come and gone, and emotions have ebbed and flowed and so many pages have been read!
Before we disappear back into our regular lives, we wanted to say thank you for reading with us, disagreeing with us, and generally raising the bar on the conversation in every comment. We will miss you all for these next several months! We’ll still be on Goodreads and Twitter, so look for us there.
And again, thank you to the RealCommittee, who work so much harder and with so little visibility. They have given us another great slate of titles and continue to work tirelessly to promote innovative, exciting, beautiful writing (and any number of other descriptors I am not articulating at this moment). We do this in fun, but they do it in earnest, and they deserve a round of applause, a week-long nap, and many many kudos.

So much for reflection. Let’s look to the future. I predict that the 2016 Printz winner will be…Kidding. I haven’t read a 2015 yet.
So let’s talk turkey: what are you looking forward to?
Comments are open for-evah (well, all year), so pop in with thoughts and suggestions any time. Let’s start building that contender list!
