Cybils 2015 Wrap-Up
In case you missed it, the 2015 Cybils finalists were announced on January 1! I had a great time helping select the shortlist for YA speculative fiction this year, and I’m proud of our high-quality, appealing, and diverse list, which includes:
An Inheritance of Ashes by Leah Bobet
Bone Gap by Laura Ruby
Mortal Heart by Robin LaFevers
Shadowshaper by Daniel Jose Older
Slasher Girls and Monster Boys edited by April Genevieve Tucholke
The Six by Mark Alpert
The Walls Around Us by Nova Ren Suma
I’ve linked each title to my review (or the Goodreads page, if I haven’t yet written a review). I wasn’t as prolific in my reading this year as I was last year, but I still made a pretty good showing! I evaluated a total of 53 books, 38 of which I read in full. As was the case last year, there were a few books that I loved but didn’t make the final cut, which I’ll discuss next week. This week, I wanted to share the final Cybils spiderweb, which I began in October when I first started reading for the season. It was interesting to see the links between each of the books and consider the recurring themes (though I wasn’t able to include all books I read, and some of the books I did include I didn’t get a chance to read).
