Two Hour Late Start=Time to Write
In case you missed this but the second annual CYBILS Award shortlists were announces on January 1, 2008. I missed it. I was one, out of town, and two, still too sick to care much.
But today is a new day. We have ice. I look out my window and it doesn’t look icy but it’s there. I discovered this when I walked outside to grab the paper. Slip, slip, slip.
So what better time to catch up on my sorely neglected library blog? I am one the judging panel for the CYBILS Poetry shortlist. It is my second year and I am thrilled to be a part of it again. We have seven books to consider this year and that is great. A couple books on the list have been recognized by the American Library Association. Will our choice for best poetry match? You will have to find out on February, 14, 2008.
The books are arriving at my house and it is like Christmas all over. Even better, because I am well and back to my usual self.
I am catching a few minutes to read and drink a little tea. I might even get to my childhood story written in haibun style for One Deep Breath. It is a good thing to have a late start.
Happy Reading.
