Info Post
I told myself that I would not get nervous about the books being nominated for the Cybils. I lied.

I am anxiously imagining that the best middle grade science fiction and fantasy book of the year is out there, unnominated, and these are the books I'm anxious about in particular--the ones that I myself haven't read, that I think (based on my own lists of new release posts) are eligible in mg sff. (I'm also nervous about some of the ones I've read, in as much as I can only nominate one of them, but that's a different story).

So if you've read one of these, and love it, and think it could be a winner, do go nominate it (before midnight on October 15...) In the meantime, I have copies of the first four, that I'll be busily reading...

(some from my original list have now been nominated...will more find champions???)
