The Cybils Awards are given each year to children’s and Young Adult books recognized as having the highest literary merit and “kid appeal†by the book blogging community.
Anyone can nominate a book. There are multiple categories: Picture Book, Middle-Grade, YA Fiction, Poetry, YA and MG Nonfiction, Picture Book Nonfiction, Fantasy and Science Fiction and Graphic Novels. This year they added a new category Ebook Apps. Nominations are open from Oct 1st – Oct 15th.
This year I get to be a Round One panelist for the Early Reader/Chapter Books category with a great group of fellow bloggers. Last year there were almost 60 books nominated in this category, and I get to read and evaluate them all.
Do you have a favorite young adult or children’s book published in the last year? If so, leave a comment, but also be sure to nominate your favorite(s) for a Cybils Award today. Nominations close tomorrow.
