Although I’ve been free range reading a bit in these post Morris Committee days, I still have some required reading.
I am a round 2 judge in the CYBILS YA Nonfiction category. Fortunately, as a round 2 judge I only have to read the finalists the round 1 judges selected. And these are what I am (mostly) reading these days.
