When I first heard about the 2012 Edgars Nominations, I had read surprisingly few of the nominations in Juvenile, Young Adult, and short stories. Wouldn't you know that the one Young Adult book I didn't get around to reading was the winner!

Best Juvenile:

Icefall by Matthew J. Kirby

Best Young Adult:

The Silence of Murder by Dandi Daley Mackall

Best Short Story went to "The Man Who Took His Hat Off to the Driver of the Train" - Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine by Peter Turnbull (Dell Magazines).

Honestly, the best part of the Edgars this year (aside from finding some great new reads from the nominees list) was watching Maureen Johnson and Neil Gaiman tweet through the banquet.

For the full list of award winners see here.

book evangelism

“Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book." - John Green

about

I am a music-addicted crafter. I garden when it's easy and Homeschool my kids even when it isn't. Most of all, I read. I read when I'm happy, when I'm sad, to hide from things or to find things; I read when I have time, and even when I don't. This is my space to share that passion.
