I remember last year that toward December I felt saturated YA-wise and badly wanted to read other genres. But I think there's more variety in sci-fi/fantasy??? Also, it turns out that I have read more than I thought (about a third) of the books on our list. <BR/><BR/>That being said, I am starting to read our nominations Very Seriously now. Twilight was checked out at the library, so I got Runemarks instead.Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11835101886202235868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-17371470122437518452008-10-03T08:22:00.000-05:002008-10-03T08:22:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11835101886202235868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-50951410204921129922008-10-02T18:51:00.000-05:002008-10-02T18:51:00.000-05:00Nettle--we should be getting a large number of the...Nettle--we should be getting a large number of the books from the publishers, if all goes well!<BR/><BR/>Jen--I wouldn't need three months, but a few weeks sure would be nice...I got one review done today.<BR/><BR/>However, the house is cleaner (not hard), another wood rack has been filled, and other useful things of that ilk done.Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11835101886202235868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-84698117188711748502008-10-02T18:04:00.000-05:002008-10-02T18:04:00.000-05:00I did the opposite.

Part of me wants to be on a big nominating committee like this, but the other part of me knows that to accomplish #1 on your list would seriously require me to be home sick for 3 months. Yeah. Anyway, I hope that you and Nettle and the others on the team enjoy it. I had my hardest time deciding what to nominate in this category - I had several that I really really liked.

Pshaw! That's nothing. I thought they said there were going to be a LOT of books."<BR/><BR/>Um, self? 93 is a lot. That's a lot of books.<BR/><BR/>I've already made a list of all the nominated books, and marked the ones I've already read, and the ones I've been meaning to read.<BR/><BR/>Anyway. Hi. I'm excited to be on the FSF panel with you!<BR/><BR/>NettleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
