National Book Awards: The Bad News
I look forward to discussing youth literature with Anne, Brandy, Jarrett, and Tricia. Imagine being in a room (ok, on a screen) with such brilliant and talented professionals to discuss the year’s best books.
What I don’t look forward to is not being able to discuss these books, and their writers, with you.
While the National Book Foundation has a different understanding about a judge’s conduct, I still will not be able to review current titles or interview their authors.

I’m trying to figure out what I’ll be blogging about over the next year while I’m reading more, but unable to mention the titles.
Suggestions greatly appreciated!
Be well, and do good!
