National Books Award Finalists Named (and I'm back from vacation)...

In case you haven't seen the list, here are the 2009 National Books Awards Finalists for the Young People's Literature caegory:

Special shout out to Laini Taylor, who is a 2010 CWIM contributor along with her husband Jim Di Bartolo, illustrator of Lips Touch. (Check out his amazing cover art below along with the other NBA finalist books.)
