Books make the best gifts! This year's #CYBILSAwar

Books make the best gifts! This year's #CYBILSAwards Gift Guide offers something a little different: one subject, three audiences. Family Friendly.

With books for all reading ages and a mix of genres and formats, everyone can enjoy books on a subject they (or their sibling or BFF) love. Hand-me-down books? Yes, please. Family read alouds? OH YEAH!

Want a sneak peek at the first item? Head here: https://www.cybils.com/2024/11/2024-cybils-awards-gift-guide.html

The thing about sports books? The "game" is only part of the story.

At their heart, these are stories about people with a passion. Some who can pursue the passion they love, others who have to adapt to "something else" because of life's curve ball.
There are sports you've heard of and sports you know nothing about. Famous athletes and trailblazing athletes you never knew about.

Psst! ICYMI, we have done a little remodeling over

Psst! ICYMI, we have done a little remodeling over at our Substack and tidied the place up a bit. It's a kitschy new name with a nice little ring to it.

* Curated book lists built around a theme are published 1-2 weeks AFTER they debut on our blog. Look for new lists starting 13 Nov.

* Mini-reviews of CYBILS-related books return on 11 Nov. Get them on Substack (and Bluesky) every Monday and Friday. Read what our judges think of the books they're reading for the CYBILS Awards.

And yes, are are going to keep publishing The Morning RSS, our ad hoc book-ish newsletter.
