It’s that time again, time for the new Cybils shortlist – which means it’s time for me to get busy reading all of the books on the shortlist. I’ve already read two from the list of 80 – I thought I’d read this Anna Hibiscus because I griped about the cliff hanger in last year’s book, but I either forgot to reserve it or I couldn’t get it from my library. (Or maybe I did read it and I forgot to blog it? Or something?)
*There’s a new category this year called “Book Apps” – I haven’t looked at it yet but am going to try to check out all of the shortlisted apps. We’ll see how that goes…*

Anna and the French Kiss – 1/8/2011
I was surprised about Anna and the French Kiss being on the list. I thought it was older. I like the YA Cybils list this year, though am kind of happy that I don’t have to judge it and really all seven books in a month. 😉
