It'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'll be blog co-editor again with Melissa Fox of Book Nut, so I'll be in charge of cruising volunteers' blogs and posting reviews of nominees and finalists to the Cybils blog once the reading period kicks into gear. It'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.
This year should be really interesting with the addition of Board Books and Audiobooks as new pilot categories, so I hope you'll have fun exploring along with me!

I'll be honest: I told Sheila to put me where I was needed, but I'm pretty sure I shouldn't have signed on for R1. And yet, I really miss it when I'm not there! Hard balancing Writer vs. Reader; this year, since I'm actually meant to be FINISHED with the revision before I start the reading, I think I may be okay...!
Yes--I usually also say to put me where I'm needed, especially category-wise, if there's a gap somewhere. I do think about the first or second year we did Cybils, when we were on SF Round 1 and they hadn't split the category yet, and we had ALLLL the books...and yet it really was fun.
