Cybils
The Cybils have announced the shortlists!
As a quick recap, Cybils is the Children’s and Young Adult Book Bloggers’ Literary Awards. Books are nominated in the fall in different categories; a panel of bloggers reads those books and creates a shortlist, announced on January 1; a second panel reads those shortlists and picks a winner.
Ones with YA titles:
Fantasy & Science Fiction Young Adult shortlist Of these titles, I have only read one, Ship Breaker; and I have to confess, I’m disappointed that my favorite book of the year is not on the shortlist.

Graphic Novels, Young Adult shortlist Of these titles, I have only read Yummy (and haven’t reviewed it here yet). Having read it, I’d put it in the middle grade group, actually, but that’s just me.
Nonfiction Books (Middle Grade & Young Adult) shortlist Of these seven titles, I’ve read none of them.
Poetry shortlist This list includes everything from picture books to young adult. And, I’ve read none of them.
and finally
Young Adult Novels shortlist Since I’ve read none of these books, obviously, my favorite book (that isn’t SF/F) isn’t on the list.
