Awards aplenty

Congratulations to all the winners of the ALA awards today, especially long time squeetus friend Jenni Holm on her THIRD Newbery Honor! Also happy for Terry Pratchett winning the the Margaret A. Edwards award and The True Meaning of Smekday by Adam Rex getting the Odyssey for audio book. I'm pretty certain calamity jack not getting the Caldecott was a clerical error since Nate Hale is clearly a genius. For a complete list of awards and winners go to the ala website.
