Congrats to ALA award winners!
The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman has won the Newbery! I read this book immediately after it was released last Fall and loved it, I think it's possibly Neil Gaiman's best work yet, so I'm tickled that it won the prestigious Newbery.
Laurie Halse Anderson (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
halseanderson ) won the Margaret A. Edwards award for her books Catalyst, Fever 1793, and Speak. I haven't yet read any of these books, but when Chains was published earlier this year I read it and was very impressed with it, so much so that I found myself very glad that Laurie (if I may call her that) has published books that I haven't read yet so that I have something to catch up on! I do hope you'll check out some of her books this year.
I had fun watching the webcast of the ceremony this morning on my laptop computer while Maggie drew sticker-pictures and we ate breakfast. I love the Internet. :-)
