Kidlit Mania

Submitted by Book Nut

First off: Just a reminder (you’ll be getting a lot of these in the next week), that the Cybils are coming! The nominations for the various categories — from non-fiction picture books through to YA fiction — will be open on October 1st. Anyone can nominate one book in any (or all!) categories, so start thinking about the books you’ve loved this year. I know I’ve got a list forming (first choices and backups, in case my first choices are already taken…) in my head (and on a few pieces of paper).

While you’re at it, don’t forget to pick up some Cybils bling — I’m determined to pick up at least a T-shirt before October, and…

the Kitlit Conference!

I’m SO excited to be going this year; I’ve wanted to go since it was started, and — bad economy and all — the stars have aligned in such a way that I’m able to go, meet, learn and enjoy!

Which brings me to what I need from you (hopefully, you’ve made it through until this point)! Pam has asked me (eek!) and several other awesome bloggers (I feel like an imposter!) to throw together a panel on issues in book blogging and reviewing. It’ll be a bit of a Q&A — we hope (I don’t know, maybe we’ll all just get up there and blather a bit about how wonderful the kidlitosphere is or something) — and we’re soliciting Qs beforehand (so we have some time to think about the As). So… what do you want to know? Any issues that you want to addressed? Any ideas/processes you want me to spill the beans about? Any tips you want me to pass along? Any thoughts? (Bueller? Bueller?) (OK. I did just date myself.)

C’mon, people: I’m begging here!

(And, yes, I know you can’t all come — so sad about that, too! — but I WILL blog about this afterward, so you’ll get your As. I promise.)
