So Many Awards, So Little Time

That's a riff on a shirt I used to own, So Many Books, So Little Time...middle school me (in addition to being cool) was a bit omniscient.  Anywho...Welcome Back!  In all the madness that goes along with ALA Midwinter,  we haven't properly hung out in a while.  For those of you at ALA, how was it?  What were some highlights?  Our Title Presentation was a success (I'm modest), and you can see all the books we presented, and more, on Earlyword's site.  You can also check out our pictures on Flickr. 

Ok, onto the point of this post - Congratulations to some excellent award winning books!!

The conference was amazing. I was able to speak to so many different people about various products. I loved the publishers exhibits and I tried to get a copy of every free book that was offered. I must say that Harper Collins was one of the most smiliest booths there and it was a pleasure to stop by and say hello. Y'all rock!

Congratulations to all the authors!
