First, I will get the shameless self-promotion out of the way: I got elected to the Printz Committee!
I am so excited and pleased and honored to have been elected. I appreciate everyone who voted for me, and I hope that I'll be able to contribute a lot to the process of picking the 2011 Printz winner.
Congratulations to everyone who stood for election, and to those that were elected.

About This Blog
Welcome to my thoughts on teen literature. I care about good writing, interesting characters, and intriguing plots.
I strive to review positively--I wouldn't review a book I didn't like--but I will also point out what I view as minor flaws.
Occasionally, I will post about a book I didn't like, but typically that only happens when I'm writing a series of reviews, like reviewing all the Morris Award shortlist.
I do not indicate spoilers; if you haven't read the book and don't want to be spoiled, you'd be best-served by not reading my review.
Comments are welcomed and appreciated, although they are moderated. I reserve the right not to publish your comment. (But really, unless it's a spam comment, it's likely I'll publish your comment.)
