Awesome.
I was selected to participate in the 3rd annual Cybils awards selection process as a panelist for middle grade fiction! I am feeling very humble after browsing the brilliant weblogs of my fellow panelists:
Sarah Mulhern (the Reading Zone)
Alysa Stewart (Everead)
Mary R. Voors (ACPL Mock Newbery)
Sherry Early (Semicolon)
Kim Baccellia (Si, se puede! Yes we can)
Melissa Fox (Book Nut)
Together, we will sift through the nominated titles (last year's MG list was 70+?) and narrow them down to a more manageable list, from which the winner will be chosen by the second-round judges. Rereading the list of nominees from last year was like looking at a list of some of my favorite books! I am really looking forward to the process. If you know of a great book, nominations open October 1st!
I know what you mean about feeling humbled; there's a good crew on the panel (can I say that without sounding boastful??). I'm looking forward to seeing what's nominated, too. And to working with you. This should be fun!

Looking forward to working with you on the panel. I'm a former first grade teacher and it'll be fun to see which books will be nominated.

Thanks for your super-teacher friendly site. And I'm looking forward to working with you on Cybils 08 (I'm a Round 2 MG judge!)

I know what you mean about looking back on the list and finding favorites -- I can't wait to see what new faves this year will bring. Can't wait to get started and to get to know everyone better!
