Great list! I've read about twenty of the currently nominated titles, but am hoping to have read a lot more by the time the finalists are announced!

Great variety.

Did my publisher not send you a copy or did you just not read it? And thanks for the comprehensive post. Bug Boy is in great company!!

slayground October 28 2009, 18:43:33 UTC

Hi Eric! No, it hasn't come my way. I could check it out from the library. Remind me!

eluper October 28 2009, 19:30:54 UTC

Okay, consider this your official reminder: go check Bug Boy out of the library!

Unless you wanted me to remind you some other time or some other way... :-)
