What's Missing?

Here's one of the Cybils posts I promised yesterday. It's kind of a tradition for me to post my own "what's missing" post near the end of the Cybils nominations. But I thought I'd do something a little different this year. I'm going to share the process.

But to do that I need your help. What books that were published this year (any category) do you want to see nominated? Leave me a comment and let me know. This post will (hopefully) turn into one big "what's missing" list!

Maybe you had three favorites in one category and only could nominate one? Then tell me the other two and I'll them to this list. And if you haven't used your nomination in every category, you can check this list for ideas (and help another person out in the process). Plus, if you nominate something for the Cybils this year, you can win a bunch of books from this contest too. It's a win-win situation. :-)

So start leaving me comments (or emailing me) your suggestions. I'll keep updating this list until nominations close, so keep checking back!

*Disclaimer* I've tried to separate these and double check that they are in fact eligible as I put them on the list, but please take note that I might make a mistake too!
