Anyone have any guesses?  I believe they're coming up next Monday. I wouldn't be surprised if A FACE LIKE GLASS gets something.

ORPHAN ISLAND for Newbery recognition?

I'd love to see FOREVER OR A LONG LONG TIME by Caela Carter get something, too.

I haven't a clue. I haven't read as many of the contenders this year...

I just realized this applies to me, too. I think I spent a lot of this year rereading favorites.

I liked (and am rooting for) WISHTREE and  BEYOND THE BRIGHT SEA.

I always look forward to these announcements!

I did too! I wonder what it was about this past year that caused that? Hmm....

Comfort reading.

Need for humor.

I loved A FACE LIKE GLASS, but I haven't read a lot of the others, either.

BEYOND THE BRIGHT SEA.

I loved this one. And still waiting on others to come to our library.

[dinalapomy101 Posts: 1,875 Status: Offline Happy writing to all! WWW]

I have no good guesses this year, but am always super excited to see what wins, and then to analyze after. :-)

Looking at the NBA Longlist, I wouldn't be surprised to see any of those titles on some lists!

[Betsy Posts: 2,106 Status: Offline PICKY EATERS WWW]

Some good choices listed here. 

[hairaplenty Posts: 1,414 Status: Offline Don't ever quit!]

Can someone post the website for the contenders? I've Googled and got too many choices.   

[Anne Marie Posts: 2,855 Status: Offline VAMPIRINA season 3 is on Disney Junior now! WWW]

There is no list of contenders, either a long list or a short list.  Everything is a surprise on announcement day.

[Melody Posts: 498 Status: Offline WWW]

Looking forward to seeing the results. Like most everyone else who posted, I haven't kept up this year and have been reading 'older' stuff.

But some of the titles themselves look intriguing....

This explains why I can't find the list!   

I'll be surprised if The Hate U Give does not get some recognition. Other than that, I've not any thoughts. Looking forward to the announcements.

Just circling back to this conversation--we'll be hearing the announcements shortly, but "A Face Like Glass" can't win a Newbery since the author is not a US citizen or resident. I believe there are similar limitations on other ALA awards.

[Betsy Posts: 2,106 Status: Offline PICKY EATERS WWW]

Bummer.

[dewsanddamps Posts: 2,302 Status: Offline]

Salina Yoon won one!

Here's a link: http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2018/02/american-library-association-announces-2018-youth-media-award-winners

Edited to add: Don't bother with  this link!  Stephanie posted a MUCH better one in Reply 28 below!

[Betsy Posts: 2,106 Status: Offline PICKY EATERS WWW]

I went to Amazon and bought the winner. Only $7 (Kindle), but they'll probably raise the price now.

[Pons Posts: 2,465 Status: Offline]

I certainly have a list of books to read now.

Crown: An Ode to the Fresh Cut was an honor winner for the Newbery, Caldecott, and Coretta Scott King Book Awards. I don't remember this happening before, especially qualifying for both Newbery and Caldecott. Time to look up some books. Congratulations to all the winners!

eta: Thanks for the link, Anne. 

[Betsy Posts: 2,106 Status: Offline PICKY EATERS WWW]

Yes, another book (Long Way Down) was honored with Newbery, Coretta Scott King, and Printz awards--go figure. 

I guess it's O.K. But I wish they'd spread the awards around more.

Yay, Salina!  But then, we all know how talented she is.

[Vijaya Posts: 7,164 Status: Offline Encourage WWW]

Thanks for the link Anne! So wonderful to see some of my favorite authors win and discovering some new ones too.

[olmue Posts: 3,528 Status: Offline WWW]

Wooo!! Salina! Really!! *cartwheels*

[Kell Posts: 1,197 Status: Offline On the other hand WWW]

So happy for Salina! She'll probably EGOT too if she keeps at it.

[JulieM Posts: 986 Status: Offline WWW]

What wonderful news about Salina.

This link from SLJ might be easier to read, and it's got pictures of the covers too, which is nice:

Thanks, Stephanie. I like to see the covers.

[HaroldU Posts: 849 Status: Offline Exec. Editor, Kane Press WWW]

Bummer.

I know. I really liked it.
