It’s my favorite time of the year: the call for Cybils judges!! It’s fun, it’s exciting, it’s… well, fun AND exciting. And a lot of work. But fun (and exciting) work. I’ve done this for several years now, and I have to say that one of the reasons I keep my (almost 9 years old) blog going is so I can be a part of this. (*fingers crossed*) You want to be a part of it too? Check out the call for applications and throw your hat into the ring.
ALSO: the announcement for the 7th annual KidLitCon was announced. So far it’s just the city — Austin, TX — and the dates — November 8 and 9th. If you can, I’d strongly encourage coming. It’s a blast.

I feel the same way about the Cybils! It is rather dizzying to be on the organizer side of the fence…but it's nice that the lovely distraction of it all starts earlier!

Are you going this year? I'm thinking about it.
And I'd love to do the Cybils but I think it would be too much work for me. Maybe when the kiddies are older.

Charlotte, I think it's really cool that you're on the organizing end. (Is it bad that I want to say “Pick me! Pick me!!”??? I'll try to refrain.)
Holly: YES! You should come! And you should apply for round 2. The work isn't as much as round 1 (it's more like an intense book group), and it's just as fun.
