Celebration Saturday - The Cybils Awards!

Discover. Play. Build. 
 I'm so happy that Ruth Ayres started a Celebrate Link-Up on her blog!!!  I will be joining the celebration every Saturday!!
     My big celebratory news is that I was selected as a Round 2 Middle Grade Fiction Judge for the 2014 Cybils Awards!
 
     This children's and young adult bloggers' literary award is something I've followed for several years now, especially since I've started blogging and following blogs.  I always get excited about book award lists, and this is one of the best.  It's very exciting to be a part of the selection process.  I'll be serving as a Round 2 Judge with Alex Baugh (@randomlyreading), Terry Doherty (@thereadingtub), Jennifer Donovan (@5M4B), and Heidi Grange (@GeoLibrarian).  The chair is Karen Yingling (MsYingling).  After visiting all their excellent literary blogs, I'm even more amazed and humbled that I was chosen.  Be sure to join in on the nominating process beginning October 1st.  Bring on the books!

    Holly, it's so exciting to see names I "know" on the judges' list for the Cybils. There are so many great MG books this year. How will you ever choose?
    And now for my burning question? I love the labels (tags) you use on books you review. Do you just think them up yourself? Or do they come from a source that I can access?

      Ramona - I copy and paste them from my Goodreads review. I make them up in Goodreads according to how I want to "shelve" books. It's so helpful later when I want to gather text sets around a theme topic or lesson I want to teach.
