How ‘Bout that NBA Longlist?
So the NBA longlist came out the other day, and it is full of goodness. 80% YA! YA that skews up, even. And lots of #ownvoices. Basically, made of win, and made of adding books to our pile, because I confess that What Girls Are Made of was not on my radar. Oh yeah, also […]
Looking Ahead to 2018
(Image thanks to Spell with Flickr) The YMA dust has settled (even if nothing else has, or seems likely to) and so we’re turning our attention to the bright spots of 2017: the books we can’t wait to get our hands on, with special attention for the ones that seem likely to be on the […]
In the room where the livestream happens
Whew! The MTA was etermined to thwart me this morning, but I made it in just before Julei Todaro took the stage, and I’ve got my livestream running. (I didn’t mind being #alaleftbehind until this morning, when I elt so frystrated that the world outside ALA doesn’t stop everything for the YMAs!) Sarah and Joy […]
Pyrite Honor Votes: Results and Decisions
We voted, and we have some results to share! (Insert boilerplate about how this will be the simple version of the results with analysis to follow when Joy finishes geeking out over the numbers.) But first, a reminder about honor vote procedures: Based on the results of this ballot, the committee will decide if it […]
Scythe
Sometimes the world really does save the best for last. Because people? Scythe is amazing. I keep thinking about it. I unabashedly loved reading it in that can’t put it down way, but I also absolutely love it as a contender. It jumped the queue right into my top 5, and as the second to […]
Pyrite: A Seriously Decisive Win!
Well, we revoted, and boy-howdy do we have a decisive margin this time! A few thoughts on the raw data: In the interest of time, I’m only going to share a few highlights here, but the deeper analysis is totally interesting and we wouldn’t want to deprive geeky like-minded souls, so later this week we’ll […]
Pyrite: Honor Voting!
Now that we have our winner, let’s see how we are feeling about an Honor Book lineup. From the P&P: Honor Books All nominated titles are eligible for honor book consideration. Following the selection of a winner, a straw vote is conducted. Any title receiving no votes is removed from consideration. A formal, weighted ballot […]
Still Life With Tornado
Oh, A.S. King! Every year, a new novel. Every year, a bold move to expand what we think of as a novel. I’m not sure if I’m a King fan, but I find myself drawn to her books year after year because I trust them to be engrossing reading experiences, even if I have an […]
The Pyrite Results Are In… We Get to Vote AGAIN!
30 of us voted, and the results definitely indicate some clear trends, but by the Printz guidelines, we do NOT have a winner. From the RealPrintz Policies and Procedures: To win, a title must receive five first place votes and must also receive at least five more points than the second place title. If no […]
