I’ve been lucky enough to be a CYBILS (Children’s and Young Adult Bloggers Literary Awards) judge a couple of times, and I’ve just applied to be on this year’s panel. Finger crossed for me, please! If you’re interested in applying, let’s talk books together! Apply to be a judge here.
The new CYBILS logo just went live this morning, too, and it’s a nice one!
There’s going to be a lot of excitement with this year’s CYBILS, including some new awards categories and new chair members. Join the fun and see what it’s all about!
