It's time for the Cybils Awards. These are awards for children and young adult books nominated by the internet community for awards, and then short listed by a committee. Then we may get to vote on the final award--that's still coming up.
I'm too late posting this to encourage any of you to nominate your favorite books of 2007. ( I did slip under the wire with a few nominations of my own.)
But if you click the Cybils in the side-bar, you'll find out what books others have nominated and how you can participate in voting.
It's also a great place to look for Christmas presents for kids in your life. These are books recommended by readers. The lists, in a variety of categories from fantasy to fact, poetry to picture book, include a wide array of selections. While I'm familiar with some (or have at least read reviews of them in Horn Book or other places), there are some new discoveries, too.

63. Random Bits from Favorite Blogs
If you haven't been reading the poems at BrooklynArden you should stroll on over there. I personally love THE WRITER, but each poem has resonance and beauty. And it's still April-National Poetry Month.
The Pullitzer Prize list is posted here . Of all the awards, this is one of the most prestigious (and yet it least influences my taste in books and my purchases). If this is your thing, enjoy.
But really, if you're more of a kid at heart, go to http://fusenumber8.blogspot.com/ and scroll down to the you-tube collection of library videos (April 15, 2007-Video Sunday). Very amusing. I don't know why librarians have an image of being strict, narrow, boring. Some stereotypes die hard, but this one must go.

54. Book Awards-the Ready-Made Reading List
I love book awards. I love to read about books and what finds people have discovered in the recently published avalanche of paper. I view each new announcement of book awards as another reading list. And my TBR list is very long.
So in the interest of sharing those reading lists with others, who may get to the books before I do, here's a link to more book awards: The Galaxy British Book awards: Feel free to let me know what you've read and recommend-from among these or elsewhere. http://www.britishbookawards.co.uk/pnbb_winners2007.asp?
