Quick Picks Nomination

I actually found out about this before we headed off to Ireland but in the rush of packing and finishing One Lonely Degree revisions didn't have time to post the news. I'm thrilled to say that I Know It's Over has been nominated for the 2009 ALA Quick Picks for Reluctant Young Adult Readers list.

You can read a bit about the criteria used for evaluating potential Quick Pick books here on the ALA site along with info about the procedure. The final list is announced at the American Library Association's Midwinter Meeting in January and includes books receiving 7 or more "yes" votes from committee members. Fingers crossed!

This is unbelievably exciting as the 2008 Quick Picks list included some extremely cool books like Sara Zarr's Story of a Girl, Jay Asher's Thirteen Reasons Why and S.A. Harazin's Blood Brothers.
