This year, I've decided to start celebrating early by participating in the YALSA Nonfiction Reading Challenge. Since the Morris and Nonfiction finalists get announced in December, I'm going to try to read all five Nonfiction titles before the winners are announced at the beginning of February. Join me in reading if you want to add some nonfiction into your life. I'll post reviews of most or all of the nominees here, so stay tuned for some great book reviews coming your way!
My favorite season is coming up quickly. I'm not talking about trees, gift-giving or lights here (though I cannot argue with the joy of the Winter Break). I'm talking about book award season! Each New Year brings around an onslaught of book awards for the previous year's best pieces in every category imaginable. My favorite segment of book awards is, of course, the Youth Media Awards. Awarded each year at the American Library Association (ALA) Mid-Winter Conference, the Youth Media Awards presentation sets off a flurry of activity around the year's best books. Since all of the prizes are for youth and young adult works, it's right in my wheelhouse. I await eagerly to find out who won the Printz Award, the Morris Award, the Nonfiction Award, and the Alex Award. I delight in determining that I have read several titles on the list and take joy in adding all of the new titles to my to-read pile.
