I know that nominations for the 2017 Cybils Awards don't close till the 15th, and I also know that we have lots of good books nominated. But I am twitchy about the books that haven't been nominated, especially the ones I haven't read yet; what if one of those is The One for me to champion? And not that I am competitive, but ordinary Middle Grade Fiction is ahead by about 28 nominations.....
So here's a list of books that haven't been nominated yet; it's still an incomplete list, but I will be adding to it when I have time and updating it as books get nominated. I'm not personally endorsing any of these, though several I did like lots, and though I'm pretty sure they are all eligible, I won't be doing Deep Checking until they get nominated...
Feel free of course to nominate a book that isn't on this list!
This is where you go to nominate. You'll need to create a Cybils identity, but then you'll see all the different categories where you can nominate books (you get a nomination in each category).

I took a stab at a list too, but stopped at 20. I'm sure I missed a bunch from 2016 but hoping that more of these get nominated too.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to go through all the books at Kirkus for a future list update...I worry about those too! And the brand new releases...
DeleteOy, this just brings home to me all that I haven't yet read this year! Wow.
ReplyDelete...I mean, not that all of them interested me -- but I meant to read the Burgis book before now, and I had NO IDEA there was another Barmarre book from Gail Carson Levine - ! I loved the original one! And Ellen Oh's, and Kate Milford's, and Sarah Beth's...
Delete::sigh::
I know. I have read almost 350 books so far this year, and there are so many still to read. I guess it is a good problem to have, but still.
DeleteI'm still deciding, but was VERY surprised that MGF had more than spec fic. That never happens.
ReplyDeleteYes, my precious, we wants all the nominations!!!
ReplyDeleteWow. So many good books.
ReplyDeleteLots of good books. Thanks for that list.
