During this Holiday Season
Happy Holidays from all of us at the Cybils! We are here to ask that, as you do your holiday shopping, to keep us in mind. If you follow any of the book links (like this one) through to Amazon, we get a percentage of anything you purchase (even non-book items). Every little bit helps us keep the machinery going …

Thank you to everyone who nominated for the 2017 Cybils Awards. Nominations from the public are now closed for the year.

Judge Announcement Tomorrow!
First some sad news… due to a lack of applicants, the Audiobooks category will be on hiatus this year. We are very sad about this and hope to be able to bring the category back next year. And a quick reminder: panelists and judges will be revealed tomorrow beginning at 9 a.m. PDT and running every 15 minutes. We’re excited …

There’s not much to say in the way of an intro this year: just our thanks to all the bloggers who judged, authors who wrote, and publishers who supported us again in this year’s endeavor. And on that note, here are this year’s winners, in alphabetical order by category: Audiobooks The Inquisitor’s Tale: Or, the Three Magical Children and Their …
The Winners Are…
Not in this post. But they are chosen and the blurbs are written and we can’t WAIT to share them with you. Tomorrow. At 9 a.m. Eastern, 6 a.m. Pacific. Be there. It’s so much better than that commercial roses and chocolate celebration. (Well, maybe not the chocolate, but you get the picture.)
The 2016 Finalists
I feel intimidated writing this post this year; it’s usually the domain of our illustrious co-founder and overlord, Anne Levy. But 2016 has been a hard year for everyone, and that includes Anne. So I’m writing this in her stead. Thank you for being understanding! A few numbers, to begin with: We had 1163 books nominated, across all categories. Out …
It’s Almost Time!
I don’t know about you, but this whole fall went super fast for me. So when I looked at the calendar and realized it was almost January 1, I couldn’t believe it. Already?! Yes, already. Tomorrow, bright and early (well, if you live in the Pacific Time Zone), we’ll announce this year’s shortlists. So very exciting!
