KDuBayGillis Everyone getting ready for #mglitchat?? Talking Youth Awards tonight... -8:59 PM Jan 26th, 2012
rachelgrinti Hooray for #mglitchat! Hello everyone! -9:00 PM Jan 26th, 2012
KDuBayGillis Twitter/my computer seems really slow tonight...but away we go! #mglitchat -9:01 PM Jan 26th, 2012
elissacruz I'm ready! Not that I know much about the youth awards, mind you...(or any awards for that matter). #MGlitchat -9:01 PM Jan 26th, 2012
KDuBayGillis Have to admit...have not read the Newbery this year. Anyone? Anyone? #mglitchat -9:02 PM Jan 26th, 2012
PBWorkshop I'm in, but trying to multi-task. Watch for multi-typos >:P #mglitchat -9:02 PM Jan 26th, 2012
rachelgrinti I have not read the Newbery yet. I am in the middle of Inside Out and Back Again, though, which I am really liking! #MGlitchat -9:03 PM Jan 26th, 2012
elissacruz @KDuBayGillis I haven't read it, either. #MGlitchat -9:03 PM Jan 26th, 2012
michaelascotto @kDuBayGillis I am sad to admit I didn't read it. Heard mixed response, but mostly good #mglitchat -9:04 PM Jan 26th, 2012
PippaBayliss must say I find most award books don't nec have huge mass appeal but lurve to follow & congrat winners. It's HUGE to be recog'd! #mglitchat -9:05 PM Jan 26th, 2012
coachhays64 @elissacruz @KDuBayGillis Same here. But now I will make more of an effort to get them all read. #MGlitchat -9:05 PM Jan 26th, 2012
KDuBayGillis @michaelascotto I like Gantos' other books, so I'm curious to see how this one is same/different #mglitchat -9:05 PM Jan 26th, 2012
KDuBayGillis @PippaBayliss Which I think begs the question...how/why they are chosen? #mglitchat -9:07 PM Jan 26th, 2012
michaelascotto Now that it's part of my #nerdbery reading challenge, I'll definitely be looking it up :) #mglitchat -9:07 PM Jan 26th, 2012
KDuBayGillis @PippaBayliss I think WHEN YOU REACH ME is an exception. Others agree? #mglitchat -9:07 PM Jan 26th, 2012
PBWorkshop I love everything Gantos (MGs more than his PBs, actually) and really enjoyed Norveldt. Just would not have been my Newbery pick. #mglitchat -9:07 PM Jan 26th, 2012
michaelascotto I completely missed Breaking Stalin's Nose too #mglitchat -9:07 PM Jan 26th, 2012
rachelgrinti @PBWorkshop What were you predicting for the Newbery? I know there was a lot of talk about Okay For Now. #MGlitchat -9:08 PM Jan 26th, 2012
KDuBayGillis @michaelascotto I haven't read the honor books, either. Gee, what was I reading int 2011?? #mglitchat -9:08 PM Jan 26th, 2012
elissacruz Confession: I'm not usually into the award winners. That could be because my library is small, and my pocketbook even smaller. #MGlitchat -9:09 PM Jan 26th, 2012
rachelgrinti @michaelascotto So did I, but I am definitely interested to read it now that it's on my radar. #MGlitchat -9:09 PM Jan 26th, 2012
KDuBayGillis @rachelgrinti @PBWorkshop I hear the same on OK FOR NOW and read it specifically for that reason. Loved it. #mglitchat -9:09 PM Jan 26th, 2012
michaelascotto I was reading stuff that I *thought* would make awards waves #mglitchat -9:09 PM Jan 26th, 2012
KDuBayGillis @michaelascotto What others did you read as potential Newbery contenders? #mglitchat -9:11 PM Jan 26th, 2012
PBWorkshop I'd have voted Okay for Now. The ALSC site has posts for criteria for each. Newbery here: http://t.co/AW0xL7Yk. #mglitchat -9:11 PM Jan 26th, 2012
michaelascotto On the upside, just means that it was a great year for MG if I could read so many amazing books without them making newbery #mglitchat -9:11 PM Jan 26th, 2012
rachelgrinti @michaelascotto And yet only 2 honor books this year! #MGlitchat -9:11 PM Jan 26th, 2012
michaelascotto Two I absolutely loved were Bigger Than a Bread Box and Breadcrumbs #mglitchat -9:12 PM Jan 26th, 2012
PippaBayliss RT @KDuBayGillis: @PippaBayliss I think WHEN YOU REACH ME is an exception. Others agree? Definitely! #mglitchat -9:12 PM Jan 26th, 2012
PBWorkshop I loved this year: As Easy As Falling Off the Face of the Earth. Am I the only one who read it? Loved it? Other than kids? #mglitchat -9:12 PM Jan 26th, 2012
coachhays64 Sounds familiar! RT @elissacruz "That could be because my library is small, and my pocketbook even smaller." #MGlitchat -9:13 PM Jan 26th, 2012
PBWorkshop @michaelascotto Breadcrumbs and Breadbox would have made my list, too. #mglitchat -9:13 PM Jan 26th, 2012
michaelascotto But what do I know? I'd have chosen Turtle in Paradise over Moon Over Manifest last year #mglitchat -9:13 PM Jan 26th, 2012
KDuBayGillis @michaelascotto Read both, loved both. Good year for bread books. Ha! #mglitchat -9:13 PM Jan 26th, 2012
coachhays64 @michaelascotto I hear both of those are must-reads. #mglitchat -9:14 PM Jan 26th, 2012
KDuBayGillis @michaelascotto Had MOON not won, might not have read. Soo glad that I did. Loved book more and more as I got into it. #mglitchat -9:14 PM Jan 26th, 2012
michaelascotto @KDuBayGillis I was actually in the theater for the announcements...and I'll admit, I felt kind of sad neither were metioned #mglitchat -9:14 PM Jan 26th, 2012
michaelascotto @coachhays64 I call both of them "2-copy books" -- one to own, one to lend #mglitchat -9:15 PM Jan 26th, 2012
KDuBayGillis @michaelascotto So, do "we" know the list of books considered?? #mglitchat -9:15 PM Jan 26th, 2012
PippaBayliss Thanx for this: RT @PBWorkshop: The ALSC site has posts for criteria for each. Newbery here: http://t.co/f3CeNone. #mglitchat -9:16 PM Jan 26th, 2012
PBWorkshop Kidlitchat on Tuesday discussed- should the committees announce a "nominees list" or short list in advance- I like that. #mglitchat -9:17 PM Jan 26th, 2012
utalaniz @michaelascotto: Turtle in Paradise is up for our Texas Bluebonnet Award. My students really loved this book. #mglitchat -9:17 PM Jan 26th, 2012
michaelascotto @KDuBayGillis i'd love to be a fly on the wall of that room. Or better yet, a man in a committee chair ;) #mglitchat -9:17 PM Jan 26th, 2012
PBWorkshop @PippaBayliss Their site is really helpful- for all categories, handy lists, etc., Might want to bookmark it. #mglitchat -9:17 PM Jan 26th, 2012
rachelgrinti @PBWorkshop I'd like that as well. I like knowing more about how this stuff happens and what decisions were made. #MGlitchat -9:18 PM Jan 26th, 2012
KDuBayGillis @PippaBayliss @PBWorkshop I find the delineation of a setting criterion to be interesting. Setting is character-like in many. #mglitchat -9:18 PM Jan 26th, 2012
KDuBayGillis @PBWorkshop (Sorry if this is too duplicative of the kidlitchat, hopefully people don't mind!) #mglitchat -9:19 PM Jan 26th, 2012
coachhays64 @michaelascotto I am partial to Moon Over Manifest, being a book set in Kansas and written by a fellow Kansan. #mglitchat -9:20 PM Jan 26th, 2012
PBWorkshop @KDuBayGillis Actually, I love it- you can see I'm not dealing with other tasks now- sucked right in :) #mglitchat -9:20 PM Jan 26th, 2012
michaelascotto @coachhays64 don't get me wrong, I loved the book...just wasn't my #1. #2 perhaps, but Turtle in Paradise really spoke to me #mglitchat -9:21 PM Jan 26th, 2012
PippaBayliss Noticed someone commented on the PW site that men won all the top awards this year and that more reviews r given to male authors #mglitchat -9:21 PM Jan 26th, 2012
rachelgrinti What about the Odyssey award, has anyone listened to any of the winners? I love audiobooks, will be adding these to my list. #MGlitchat -9:21 PM Jan 26th, 2012
KDuBayGillis @PippaBayliss More males on review committee as well? #mglitchat -9:22 PM Jan 26th, 2012
coachhays64 @michaelascotto That's why it must be so hard for them to pick just one winner, the honor books are all on same level. #mglitchat -9:23 PM Jan 26th, 2012
PBWorkshop Long article about Newbery committee process here: http://t.co/jpPX2hIu may want to read it later. #mglitchat -9:24 PM Jan 26th, 2012
elissacruz @PippaBayliss I find this fascinating/mind boggling, since there seem to be fewer men than women writing for children. #MGlitchat -9:24 PM Jan 26th, 2012
PBWorkshop @KDuBayGillis Committee chairpersons usually serve 2-3 years, members may/may not be the same. "Teams" seem to vary in styles #mglitchat -9:25 PM Jan 26th, 2012
PippaBayliss @KDuBayGillis Dunno - u would think the odds are against. Gina Panettieri: Lit Agent at Talcott Notch made the comment #mglitchat -9:25 PM Jan 26th, 2012
PBWorkshop @elissacruz Not only that, but this is basically a librarian's association, and 90% or more are women (I made up that number). #mglitchat -9:25 PM Jan 26th, 2012
PippaBayliss @PBWorkshop Yeah! Def - thanks (again!) #mglitchat -9:26 PM Jan 26th, 2012
PBWorkshop Makes me wonder if the final decision is like in a jury- one holdout or good persuader can turn the tide? Don't know, wondering? #mglitchat -9:27 PM Jan 26th, 2012
rachelgrinti @PBWorkshop 13 out of the 16 on this year's Newbery committee are women. #MGlitchat -9:27 PM Jan 26th, 2012
KDuBayGillis Maybe there needs to be a Youth Choice Award for MG? #mglitchat -9:30 PM Jan 26th, 2012
coachhays64 @PBWorkshop Lobbying? Intimidation? Back room deals? Oh, the drama! I do imagine there is some argument by folks who love 1 book. #mglitchat -9:30 PM Jan 26th, 2012
PBWorkshop Newbery committee article link: http://t.co/jpPX2hIu I must have copied the previous one wrong *I warned you...* #mglitchat -9:31 PM Jan 26th, 2012
PBWorkshop @coachhays64 I'm seeing a potential MURDER SHE WROTE episode, or something more current- CSI-Dallas? #mglitchat -9:32 PM Jan 26th, 2012
KDuBayGillis Any criteria that you would want to see added to Newbery selection process? Or which should have most weight? #mglitchat -9:32 PM Jan 26th, 2012
PBWorkshop @KDuBayGillis There is Children's Choice later this year- for various age groups. I love to watch for those results. #mglitchat -9:32 PM Jan 26th, 2012
PippaBayliss @rachelgrinti Yes! Oydyssey went to 'Rotters' by Daniel Kraus, #mglitchat -9:33 PM Jan 26th, 2012
KateMilford Late to the party as usual. Hi, all! #mglitchat -9:33 PM Jan 26th, 2012
PippaBayliss lol :) RT @PBWorkshop: @coachhays64 Im seeing a potential MURDER SHE WROTE episode, or something more current- CSI-Dallas? #mglitchat -9:34 PM Jan 26th, 2012
rachelgrinti @KDuBayGillis There are the Childrens Choice Awards http://t.co/tc8gCUJa #MGlitchat -9:34 PM Jan 26th, 2012
PippaBayliss Hi and welcome! @KateMilford #mglitchat -9:34 PM Jan 26th, 2012
KDuBayGillis @KateMilford Hi, Kate! Talking Youth Media Awards. What's your take on this year's winners? #mglitchat -9:35 PM Jan 26th, 2012
elissacruz @PBWorkshop I'm betting my favorites are more in line with Children's Choice. I am such a failure when it comes to Newbery picks. #MGlitchat -9:35 PM Jan 26th, 2012
KDuBayGillis @rachelgrinti How did I miss these??? Thanks! #mglitchat -9:35 PM Jan 26th, 2012
PBWorkshop I just finished Kneebone Boy (not sure it that is Am. publisher or not). Anyone else read it? Reactions? Mine were mixed. #mglitchat -9:35 PM Jan 26th, 2012
PippaBayliss You're not alone ;) RT @elissacruz: @PBWorkshop I am such a failure when it comes to Newbery picks. #mglitchat -9:36 PM Jan 26th, 2012
PippaBayliss @PBWorkshop Ditto, mixed on Kneebone Boy #mglitchat -9:36 PM Jan 26th, 2012
coachhays64 @PBWorkshop Now you're talking! I see book deals, movie deals, spin-off action figures & a Lego set. Maybe even a Wii video game. #mglitchat -9:37 PM Jan 26th, 2012
KateMilford @KDuBayGillis So many surprises! I was way behind on my reading (tons of researchy stuff on the tbr) so I hadn't read a lot of em #mglitchat -9:37 PM Jan 26th, 2012
KateMilford But oh, I was so happy to see BLACKOUT get a Caldecott honor. Very close to my heart, and so beautiful. #brooklynrepresent #mglitchat -9:38 PM Jan 26th, 2012
KateMilford @PippaBayliss Heyo! #mglitchat -9:38 PM Jan 26th, 2012
rachelgrinti @KateMilford Yes, BLACKOUT is a gorgeous picture book! #MGlitchat -9:39 PM Jan 26th, 2012
KDuBayGillis @KateMilford Did love that PB a ton. Haven't picked up A BALL FOR DAISY yet. Looks cute! Haven't read the Newbery picks either. #mglitchat -9:39 PM Jan 26th, 2012
michaelascotto @rachelgrinti hey, looks like they've got things happening in my hometown! Will have to investigate #mglitchat -9:39 PM Jan 26th, 2012
elissacruz I have to leave early again tonight, but before I do, I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT TO MAKE! (1/2) #MGlitchat -9:40 PM Jan 26th, 2012
PBWorkshop @rachelgrinti Blackout was high on my hope for Caldecott list. #mglitchat -9:40 PM Jan 26th, 2012
elissacruz We've put together a special series for Feb 2012. Check out our "Tips From the Pros" chats: http://t.co/56Oq8bAx (2/2) #MGlitchat -9:41 PM Jan 26th, 2012
PippaBayliss I'm more interested in the Four Printz Honors: Why We Broke Up, The Returning, Jasper Jones, & Scorpio Races #mglitchat -9:41 PM Jan 26th, 2012
PippaBayliss @elissacruz Yes! The most excellent Feb chat topic lineup!!! #mglitchat -9:41 PM Jan 26th, 2012
KDuBayGillis @elissacruz So excited for Tips from the Pros month at #mglitchat. Going to be so cool!! -9:42 PM Jan 26th, 2012
KateMilford @PippaBayliss I loved Why We Broke Up, am ashamed that I have an arc of Scorpio Races that I haven't cracked... #mglitchat -9:42 PM Jan 26th, 2012
elissacruz In a nutshell, we'll be hearing from a bunch of cool cats throughout the month of February, so be there! #gottagonow #byeeveryone #MGlitchat -9:42 PM Jan 26th, 2012
PBWorkshop @KDuBayGillis We can count on @nprbooks to shine a light on excellence: Chris Raschka interview on Day One! http://t.co/sjDoUZmF #mglitchat -9:42 PM Jan 26th, 2012
rachelgrinti @elissacruz Bye Elissa! #MGlitchat -9:43 PM Jan 26th, 2012
KDuBayGillis @elissacruz Bye! #mglitchat -9:44 PM Jan 26th, 2012
PippaBayliss Bye Elissa - and thanks for giving me Thursdays to look forward to in Feb (grinning like an imp) #mglitchat -9:44 PM Jan 26th, 2012
PBWorkshop Bye, Elissa, and thanks. #mglitchat -9:45 PM Jan 26th, 2012
OrigamiYoda Dear May Amelia & The Friendship Doll, you are on Newbery List in my heart. (And that's a short list.) #mglitchat @jenniholm @kirbylarsen -9:46 PM Jan 26th, 2012
PippaBayliss @KateMilford Kinda crazy that Daniel Handler wrote this after 'Series of Unfortunate whatsits. Cool come-back. #mglitchat -9:46 PM Jan 26th, 2012

KDuBayGillis Hi @origamiYoda! Your Newbery picks just wins the award for most retweets of the night! #mglitchat -9:49 PM Jan 26th, 2012
KDuBayGillis And my tweets are in dire need of editing. #tootired #mglitchat -9:51 PM Jan 26th, 2012
PBWorkshop Just an FYI about Newbs and kids' interests: Put a hold on most award titles and almost all were "in" at the library- no waits. #mglitchat -9:53 PM Jan 26th, 2012
rachelgrinti @PBWorkshop Last year, pretty much all of the holds on Moon Over Manifest were placed by library staff accounts in my county. #MGlitchat -9:54 PM Jan 26th, 2012
PippaBayliss Turtles in Paradice now on my read list. Am still trying to get to The Graveyard Bk so am only 2 yrs behind on the Newbery's #mglitchat -9:55 PM Jan 26th, 2012
PBWorkshop @rachelgrinti Hope they read it and "handsold" or talked it up among patrons. I did love Moon Over Manifest- once I read it. #mglitchat -9:56 PM Jan 26th, 2012
KDuBayGillis @PippaBayliss I just read HOLES for the first time this year! #mglitchat -9:56 PM Jan 26th, 2012
PippaBayliss Hmm, wot does this tell us? RT @rachelgrinti: Last year pretty much all the holds ... were placed by library staff in my county. #mglitchat -9:57 PM Jan 26th, 2012
KateMilford @PBWorkshop gggrrr so ashamed I haven't read Moon Over Manifest yet. I have it. It's sitting there, eyeing me... #mglitchat -9:57 PM Jan 26th, 2012
rachelnseigel @KateMilford I just read it a couple of weeks ago- it was really well written! Sorry 4 barging in at the end. #mglitchat -9:58 PM Jan 26th, 2012
PippaBayliss @KateMilford at least you have it. I'm proud of you. #mglitchat -9:58 PM Jan 26th, 2012
KDuBayGillis @KateMilford @PBWorkshop So good. I would love to hear what kids thought of it. #mglitchat -9:59 PM Jan 26th, 2012
PBWorkshop Wonder if publisher &/or agent promos/lobbying plays into consideration- like Oscar advertising? some grt ones never make it. #mglitchat -10:01 PM Jan 26th, 2012
KDuBayGillis Twitter sooo slow tonight. But fun discussion! Don't forget about the fun Feb Tips from the Pros month with #mglitchat. Deets on blog! -10:01 PM Jan 26th, 2012
