While we're waiting for the Cybils winners to be announced, I thought that you might like to revisit the shortlists. I'm presenting the middle grade fiction and young adult fiction lists here, since those are the two categories I was involved in (as administrator for YA, and as a judge for MG). You can find the lists for the other categories here. I've included links to reviews for books that I reviewed before the Cybils process began. I have reviews coming out for most of the other titles after the announcements, and will put in updated links then.
