robby could have been a preacher


The American Library Association's YALSA (Young Adult Library Services Association) announced its list of the 2012 Best Fiction for Young Adults books.

I am happy and flattered to say that my novel, Stick, made their list.

This makes four out of four on my novels, each of which has been added to the list: Ghost Medicine (2009), In the Path of Falling Objects (2010), The Marbury Lens (2011), and now, Stick.

In addition, The Marbury Lens was honored just yesterday to be named to YALSA's Top Ten Amazing Audiobooks for 2012.

Well deserved, Drew.








Word ver - ought (Hell yes! A real word, at last.)

Adam said...

Well, duh. I mean, come on - this was far and away one of the best releases of the year. It HAD to be listed.

I'm with Adam. Of course it was listed! Excellent work, Andrew. Somewhere, Dahlia's smiling. (Nice mandolin in picture.)

Good news and well-deserved. I'm also glad to see Mike Mullin made the list. And a bit pissed that Kraus did not.

I see Lauren Myracle's on the list as well. Are they sure they mean Myracle? 100% sure?

*gives uncharacteristic shriek*
Congratualtions. I am THRILLED.
Four for four.
Yes.

Some crackerjack research librarian ought to go through the lists and see if there has ever been an author on four consecutive lists.

If so, I challenge that author to a drunken brawl.

You're messed up, Andrew. I think you'd fare much better in a how-many-tabs-can-I-drop-off than a drunken brawl. I think you should arrange that instead.

If it didn't make the list there would have been something wrong with the selectors. Congratulations and on to number 5!
