Did those books you expected to win actually win? I called the Newbery and the Caldecott winners but I thought Wintergirls would get the Printz and Beautiful Creatures the Morris Medal. Great winners this year. Congratulations all.
Can't believe Marcelo or Wintergirls didn't even get an honor award for the printz!
