Cybils & Your Holiday Shopping

Take a look to your right (no not that right , your other right..) do you see that COOL widget, yep that one, well it is the new widget for the 2009 Cybil nominate books. It will highlight a new nominated book every time it loads. So how is this helping your holiday shopping?? Well, you can click on the Amazon or Indie Bound link and you can order up that book for someone on your holiday shopping list. THAT EASY - yes it is!

Thanks to JacketFlap for this great widget (this WAS the buzz word at AASL!).

Speaking of holiday shopping, can you believe that it is only 26 shopping days until Christmas (and even less til Hanukkah) - I for one am giving my young nieces and nephew a new book and new pj's to go with the book - you can never have too many books or too many comfy pj's in which to get into when reading said book! Of course my teenager and teenager wanna be only want gifts of the electronic kind (Xbox 360 and a cell phone are on their lists)..sigh.... luckily my youngest son has the right idea, he has asked for bacon for Christmas - yep - actually he was specific, he wants Canadian Bacon - good thing Santa has to cross Canada before he gets to us!

Happy Shopping!

Announcing: The Cybil WINNERS!!

I am a day late, but I want to give a shout out to all the Cybil winners and also to the Cybil organizers. What a great idea this was and I think VERY well executed.

I just finished reading Nick & Norah's Infinate Playlist and I loved it, I'm so glad it got the nod! I can't wait to pick up Amelia's Rules, the winner in the under 12 graphic novel category. My students have been going CRAZY about Graphic Novels this year and I have been scrambling to add some new ones to the collection.

Again, Congratulations to all the winners and to all the organizers - job well done!
