Cynthia Stogdill @CynthiaStogdill 12h Pleasantly shocked by the number of kids but as we get closer to contest.....First year I've done it #mwlibchat Amy Tasich @AmyTasich A4: Mainly the Golden Sowers so far. #mwlibchat (although lots of readers, MINIMAL takers on Battle of the Books hmmmm)
Nate Balcom @mrbalcom 12h #mwlibchat I gotta ask, am I missing the special magic in The Last Stop on Market Street? I feel I'm missing something when I read it.
Michelle Simpson @m_simpson5 12h @mrbalcom @alyssamcalhoun Love The War That Saved My Life! Looking forward to sequel! #mwlibchat

Alyssa Calhoun @alyssamcalhoun 12h @mrbalcom I agree it seems more evident with Newbery than Caldecott. Maybe because picture books are universal? #mwlibchat

Lynn Kleinmeyer @THLibrariZen 12h For our next question, you may want to glance at this list of ALA awards (there's quite a few): goo.gl/M3eD1i #mwlibchat

Lynn Kleinmeyer @THLibrariZen 12h A2a: Wholeheartedly w/ what many of you have said! I sometimes "discover" new books thru the awards. Gotta go back & read! #mwlibchat
