I must admit that I was distracted by a busy weekend and thoughts of surviving cold and drifting snow and I forgot all about the ALA Book and Media Award announcements that happened this morning.

In case you are in a similar situation, take a peek at this year’s award winners.  How many do you own?  How many have you read?  Did any favorites win?  Be prepared for questions about these titles, many of which will get some press attention this week!  I was happy to see a few Wisconsin authors on the list, including Amy Timberlake, who received a Newbery Honor for her historical novel set in Wisconsin, One Came Home.
