Tanita is part of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cybils.com\/2016\/09\/cybils-2016-young-adult-speculative-fiction.html\" target=\"_blank\">Round 1 YASF panel<\/a> (which brings back memories of early days when I had the time to do the vast amount of reading for Round 1&#8230;I&#8217;d really like to do that again before too long, but it was not in the cards this year) and I will be on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cybils.com\/2016\/09\/cybils-2016-graphic-novels.html\" target=\"_blank\">Round 2 for Graphic Novels<\/a> along with a few familiar faces and a couple of new ones&#8211;so fun, and always a wonderful opportunity to talk books when the time comes.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been such a busy year for me, and for Tanita, too, so I think the routine of Cybils is a welcome comfort in so many ways and is incredibly rewarding to boot. I&#8217;ll be blog co-editor again with Melissa Fox of <a href=\"https:\/\/thebooknut.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Book Nut<\/a>, so I&#8217;ll be in charge of cruising volunteers&#8217; blogs and posting reviews of nominees and finalists to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cybils.com\/blog\" target=\"_blank\">Cybils blog<\/a> once the reading period kicks into gear. It&#8217;s something I truly enjoy and value because I seem to have less and less time to visit blogs just for the heck of it, just to see what others are reading and doing.<\/p>\n<p>This year should be really interesting with the addition of Board Books and Audiobooks as new pilot categories, so I hope you&#8217;ll have fun exploring along with me!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just like this entire year has been flying past at inconceivable speed, the Cybils season is revving up without delay, and Tanita and I&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[2,61,10],"class_list":["post-208","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-af","tag-cybils-news","tag-views"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/writingya.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/208","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/writingya.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/writingya.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/writingya.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/writingya.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=208"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/writingya.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/208\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9074,"href":"https:\/\/writingya.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/208\/revisions\/9074"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/writingya.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=208"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/writingya.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=208"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/writingya.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=208"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
