For the first year in forever I haven’t read any of the Newberys for the year! FAIL! It was a bad reading year for me. This year is going to be better. (21 so far! HOLLA![ok, so I am totally not the sort of person that says HOLLA but I had an undeniable urge to say it there so there you are. Holla. Apparently I join ridiculous, obnoxious trends about 7 years too late.])


But I’ve read and loved all the Caldecotts (I mean - A Ball for Daisy is totally more for the adults then the children and I wish the Caldecott would more often pick the child friendly book then the cerebral gorgeous book but it’s a lovely book so I’m not going to complain), and I’ve read and loved both the Geisels, so I’m happy.  And Under the Mesquite won the Belpre!  HECK FREAKING YEAH!  I loved that book!  So much!  

And that is my ALA Award round-up.  What do y’all think of the winners?

I was going to write my own post about this, but I’m not feeling too hot this morning. If I reblog from my best friend, that’s ok too, right?

(Also: ugh, I hate being sick)

And if I reblog from my best friend who reblogged from me it’s almost like reblogging myself (Although my sister gave me a work-around that I’m going to try and make work later).

But for serious - what do y’all think of the awards?
