Me sitting in front of my computer watching twitter updates was like my dad sitting in front of the TV watching the Superbowl (more on that tomorrow).
Shrieks of joy:
JELLICOE ROAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And yelling at the officials:
WHAT?!? Poems of Cuba's Struggle for Freedom?!?! Nation?? ARE YOU CRAZY?
It was so much fun.
And then the long-drumrolled Newbery revelation:
The Graveyard Book.
Huh.
Interesting. A "fun" Newbery.
Veeerrrry interesting, after all the talk about inaccessible winners. I'm buying it today, then.
Honors: The Underneath. I got that one right, at least.
And Savvy!!!!!!!
I stayed up late reading Savvy JUST LAST NIGHT!! I LOVED it!!! How cool. As I was reading it, I thought, wouldn't it be funny if this got something? And it did!!
I've never liked the Printz much, so it was weird to have read 4 of the 5 selections (Nation, Tender Morsals, Frankie, and JELLICOE ROAD!!!) and to ADORE the winner.
The Morris winner, also: A Curse Dark as Gold. So cool to have interviewed the author before she was officially hot ticket.
My faith in humanity (at least, the ALA committee) has been restored.
