 Here's what I found this week!  As ever, please let me know if I missed your post.

first--the deadline to apply to be a Cybils panelist is September 9th at 11:59 p.m. EDT.  If you are worried about the reading load being too much, Graphic novels or Easy Readers/Early Chapter Books might be your thing! And if you want to learn a lot this fall--High School non-fiction is such an important category, which badly needs applicants
