Sometimes having front-runners is a great thing. Back in September I made some predictions about this year's ALA Awards, and my prognosticating skillz were not too shabby.
SWISH: Picked the Newbery winner and two of the honor books; Caldecott winner and one of the honor books; Sibert honor (w00t Day-Glo!); and the Printz winner (well, I thought it would be an honor).
BRICK: Expected Marcelo and Wintergirls to score some Printz love, too.
Congratulations to all the winners (and their fabulous editors and art directors!)
Color me impressed.

on these. You'd clean up.
I'm ecstatic for
When You Reach Me! But bummed that
Wintergirls got robbed.
