Thanks to YALSA for sending the list of individual links for the YMA. I thought you all might find them useful as well. Back to ranting and raving tomorrow perhaps. Today is about celebration. As I was trying to tell the BH about the Newbery winner, I dissolved into tears. Thankfully, he is used to this and did not panic. What does that say about the emotional resonance of the book and how it is ingrained in me as a reader?
