I have reached a milestone in my YA Cybills reading--of the 123 books nominated, I have now read 50. It's getting to me, though--I had a nightmare last night in which I was trapped in a high school clique of Mean Girls, who savagely tore into a Nice Girl who had been their friend....(which I'm sure had everything to do with reading too much too fast about fictional high schools and nothing to do with my fellow nominating committee members, who are not mean at all. Or at least, they haven't shown it. Yet. But, then again, we haven't started sweetly discussing/ fighting over which books will make the short list...).
Anyway, someday I want to review many of the 50 I've read, but not today. The clock is ticking.
I'm starting to have weird dreams too. I never thought of books and reading as having strange side effects before. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I'm not alone! At least my dreams haven't reached the level of darkness in some of these books...yet.
