Cybils 2011!

Last year I managed to read my way through the entire Cybils Finalist list, mostly with pleasure.  So this year I thought I'd try again.  Sadly, I'm doomed because of the book apps category; I don't have a device so I can't "read" those, unless some of them play on my NOOK.  And I don't think our library has them for borrowing, so even if technology falls from the sky I still probably can't get a look at them.  This makes my tidy-list-keeping soul grumpy, but I'll still include them at the bottom of my checklist for completest sake.

I'm also excited to note that I've already read four of them, and a fifth is my pick for our January family book club.  So I feel all hip and in-crowdy.
