But then, I wasn't crazy about last year's winner either.<br />I am very curious and looking forward to reading what you have to say about the individual books.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15988251415347075888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-40887580174184037062011-02-07T22:46:25.478-05:002011-02-07T22:46:25.478-05:00I think it's a great time to have a discussion...I think it's a great time to have a discussion like this (then again, I'm still catching up on reviews from 2009, so what do I know) -- anyway, it gives everyone a chance to have read at least a couple of the books in questions, and maybe a little perspective, too. Also, I loved Heart of a Samurai--have you read it yet??Anamaria (bookstogether)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10361389598002568007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-57264638196796728912011-02-07T16:40:52.675-05:002011-02-07T16:40:52.675-05:00Sounds juicey!

Thus far, I'd have to agree with you. I wasn't that impressed. Soomething needs to change with the way these books are selected.Bridget R.

Though, being on the MG Cybils panel, I do have to say that it was the trend this year: there was SO much historical fiction to wade through. (Interestingly enough, not a one made it onto our shorlist, though there were a couple that were historical fictionish.)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00217383813263874657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-47478994834975706652011-02-07T10:28:14.497-05:002011-02-07T10:28:14.497-05:00DC KidLit Book Club!
