Please note: if you nominated a title and don't see it here, it may have been moved to another category. Alternatively, it may have been declared ineligible due to not being published in 2007 or not being published for children or young adults. Or it could be an error - though we are very careful, there have been many nominations. If I've missed something that you nominated on the Cybils blog that you think should be here, please let me know. But please make any new nominations over on the Cybils blog. Nine hours and counting. Thanks for nominating!
