2015 Cybils Shortlist Challenge

2 Comments / 2016, Books in Bed, Cybil Challenge / By

Tis the season, one of my favorite days, the 2015 Cybils shortlist is up and I’m ready to get started and read some awesome children/middle grade/teen lit. Join me?

We are moving to an unknown library district!!! — At least I’ve already read ONE book on the list. hahaha.)

      Exactly. I can’t do it so I have to catch up first. Which means at least 7 books I need to read before I can read at least two of these. Ugh.
