Wow. An Entertaining Book Just Won The Newbery Medal.

I happened to check my e-mail around ten o'clock and found that someone at one of my listservs had posted a link to the ALA awards webcast. So I ended up watching close to forty minutes of awards announcements, which was more interesting than I expected it to be.

And I'd actually read--and liked--the winner of this year's Newbery Medal.
