Doesn't it? I'm excited to read it. I have an e-ARC - I just need to get to it!

Thanks for coming by, Lydia!

How funny! I was approved for CLOSER TO NOWHERE but not for THE KEY TO FEAR. At least not yet. We'll see what happens.

Thanks for stopping by, Vee!

Doesn't it? There is just so much potential in that very intriguing premise!

Thanks for coming by!

I haven't read anything by Haig, but I've heard good things about his books. I'm really excited for THE MIDNIGHT LIBRARY!

Thanks for stopping by, Margaret!

I just heard about THE MIDNIGHT LIBRARY in the last couple weeks. I'm not sure how I missed it! It sounds like a book I'm going to absolutely love :)

Thanks for coming by, Deanna!

Thank you! I'm excited to be a judge again. I had a great time last year and I'm looking forward to the experience this year even more. It's going to be busy but fun.

Thanks for stopping by, Lauren!

Oh, good! I'm glad THE MIDNIGHT LIBRARY is as awesome as it sounds. I can't wait to read it.

Thanks for coming by, Michael!

It sounds super intriguing, doesn't it? I'm excited to see what it's all about.

Thanks for stopping by, Annemieke!

If you've got NetGalley, you can try to get an e-ARC there. I was excited to be approved for one :)

Thanks for coming by, Hanna!

Thanks! Me, too. It's always disappointing when I book I'm anticipating turns out to be not great, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed on these :)

Thanks for stopping by!

I used to be a HUGE Koontz fan, but I haven't read him in a long time. ELSEWHERE sounds like a good one - I hope it is!

Thanks for coming by, Terrie!

LOL. That's hilarious! My biggest question is WHY would there be a random corset hanging around in the park? Yikes. I don't blame you for not touching it - I wouldn't either. Ick.

Thanks for stopping by and making me laugh, Jen!

Thank you! Cybils judging is super fun. I'm really happy to be a part of it again.

I loved See's book, too. I found the setting and culture of Jeju totally fascinating, so I'm excited to see how this book compares to See's.

Same on Koontz. I read ODD THOMAS a few years ago, but I haven't continued with the series for some reason.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Kay!

It sounds amazing, doesn't it? I'm hoping I get approved for an e-ARC of it on NetGalley. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Lark!

I hope you enjoy them if you read them!

Thanks for stopping by, Victoria!

SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS was such a good one! I haven't read NEIGHBORHOOD GIRLS yet, but it's definitely on my TBR list.

I hope there are some awesome nominations, too. What's the best MG you've read so far this year? I'm trying to anticipate what might be nominated so I can get a jump on my reading. The only downside to being a Cybils judge is that it happens during the busiest time of the year!

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Sam!

Doesn't it? The premise is just SO intriguing and fun. I can't wait to see where the story goes.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Cath!

Me, too. It sounds like a great read for lots of reasons.

Thanks for stopping by, Jess!

Thank you! Being involved in the Cybils is always fun. I'm excited.

I haven't read anything by Haig, but his other books intrigue me as well, so hopefully THE MIDNIGHT LIBRARY will be the start of a beautiful reading relationship between me and Haig :)

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Sam!

Thank you! I'm always excited when books I'm looking forward to turn into "happy reading" for me :)

Thanks for stopping by, Hayden!

Agreed. Some of these covers are really eye-catching, aren't they?

Thanks for coming by, Lectrice!

I couldn't find a lot of info online about DAUGHTER OF BLACK LAKE, but I still find it super intriguing! Maybe because there's not much info out there? I do love a mystery ...

Thanks for stopping by, Rachel!

Have you been there? Lucky you! Jeju looks beautiful and its history is so interesting. I'm definitely up for learning more about it.

Thanks for coming by!

I agree. It's a great cover and I don't usually like illustrated book covers!

Thanks for stopping by!

There are a lot of Cybils judges who are way more qualified than I am, so I'm really happy that I was selected. It's a fun event to be involved with.

Thanks for coming by, Marianne!

You're welcome. I doubt they just chose you by pulling a random name out of a box. ;)

Doesn't it? I always like dual-timeline novels about people connected via an interesting object. I hope this book is as good as it sounds :)

Thanks for stopping by, Jennifer!

I love historical fiction, but I do have a weird thing about not reading books set before the 18th Century. Not sure what that's all about! LOL.

Thanks for coming by, A.J.!

Congrats! I look forward to hearing about your experience. I'm super excited about being on the MG panel since it's a genre I enjoy so much.

I'm excited to see what I think of the Jeju novel, too. It's such an interesting setting! I'm hoping to get a copy of YOU KNOW I'M NO GOOD for NetGalley. Fingers crossed!

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Helen!

I really need to check his books out. I keep hearing great things about them.

Thanks for stopping by, Suzanne!

INVISIBLE GIRL is available for request on NetGalley, if you're on there. I'm excited to read it!

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Katherine!

I've read a couple books by Jewell and enjoyed them, so I'm excited for this one. I hope it's as good as it sounds :)

Thanks for stopping by, Greg!

Thank you! It is a fun gig and I'm excited to be a part of it again.

THE MIDNIGHT LIBRARY really does sound amazing, doesn't it?

Thanks for coming by, Debra!

I'm glad you found some titles that look good to you. I hope you enjoy them if you read them!

Thanks for stopping by, Jess!

I hope we both enjoy these two. They both sound excellent.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Marg!
