Welcome to this week's round-up! Please let me know if I missed your post.
first--today is the last day of public nominations for the Cybils Awards! If you haven't yet shown love for a elementary/middle grade sci fi/fantasy book published in the US or Canada between Oct 16 2022 and Oct 15 2023, don't miss your chance! I have gathered together a list of some of the books still waiting for your consideration--do visit and see if there's one you love and give it its chance to shine! And I've starred the books in this round-up that are eligible and haven't been nominated yet. (There are of course lots of other worthy categories, from picture books to HS non fiction....)
