I am SO excited that Boy Toy won in the YA fiction category!
I'm happy about Book of a Thousand Days, too, even though I'm sad about my beloved Incarceron!
Everything else here!
Loving the exclamation marks! You're lucky I didn't use the Caps key!
I loved Book of a Thousand Days and Incarceron blew my mind -- but I'm still sad that Northlander didn't take the prize. Everyone's heard of Shannon Hale (or if they don't, they soon will) and Catherine Fisher is well-established, but Meg Burden really deserves more readers!
Which is not to say the judges chose wrongly by any means, because Book of a Thousand Days really is wonderful.

Last time I checked (granted, a while ago) the NYPL didn't have any copies of Incarceron. I really (beyond want) need to read it.
And, speaking of which, have you seen/reviewed The Arrival? I just walked around to all the bookstores in my area and bought every copy I could find.

Would you please post something so I can be distracted from my thesis and not feel guilty about it?
