Big News!
I'm so pleased to announce that I will be contributing to the Bookalicious.org blog! I will be reviewing picture books and middle grade (MG) books!
Now, this doesn't mean that I won't still be blogging here, it just means that once or twice a month, I'll direct you to a post I did on that site, rather than here!
I'd really like to thank Pam for allowing me this great opportunity!

Announcement
I have been waiting for over a week to make this announcement....so here goes.....I've been chosen to be on the Cybils (Childrens and Young adult Bloggers' Literacy Awards) 2011 Easy Reader / Early Chapter Books Panel as a Round 2 judge!
What does this mean?
Easy Readers / Early Chapter Books are the books that help foster the transition from "Mommy read to me" to "I can read it on my own". The font is typically bigger, there are less words on the page, the pages are closer to the size of a big-kid book, and there are tons of pictures! But, they aren't picture books, nor are they middle-grade chapter books. These books also might have on the cover somewhere the words "easy reader" or "I can read".
A round 2 judge doesn't really have much to do until January when the Round 1 judges determine the "short list" of books they would like to nominate to be the best of the year. Round 2 judges then read all the books on the list and decide which book is the best.
