I’ve had a fantastic Cybils year. I eschewed my usual round 1 reading — which is why there’s not been nearly as many reviews as usual around here — to be the Cybils blog editor, something which I really enjoyed. I liked reading all the reviews, visiting blogs I usually don’t.

I was, however, chosen to be a second round judge for the Elementary/Middle Grade Speculative Fiction category. And today, we announce that (and the others!) winner! (An inside tip: read all the way through to the YA Speculative Fiction blurb. It’s GREAT.)

I’m always a little sad at the end of Cybils season, because it’s such a great community effort.

Though, to extend the season a bit more, over the next two weeks, I’ll post reviews of the finalists.

Here’s to another fantastic Cybils!
