Vacation over. Am still weepy over my missing pink Sidekick and pink iPod and driver's license and keys and pink Coach wallet that Ma Cedar bought for me. So I will write about books instead.

Speaking of books, I have one wishlist item for Chrismukkah: A paid version of BookTracker. And yes, that is a very tacky way to state it. But you (mostly) love me anyway.

I got a question over a listserv earlier this week: What are your top five picks for the 2006 Michael L. Printz Award? I shared my opinions there, and I'll share them here.

( Top picks for 2006, with caveat )

Also, I have a massive headache.
