Big news for me today: Burn Baby Burn has been chosen by the New Atlantic Independent Booksellers Association as their book of the year in the Young Adult category.
I’m in some good company here. But the fact that this honor comes from independent bookstores is what’s cool. These are the people who truly know and love books and authors. And they’re the people who have refused to lie down in the face of Amazon and (before that) other large chains. How are they doing? Take a look.
I wish I could be in Baltimore for their conference in October to accept the award in person. But I’ll be traveling back from the Oregon School Library Association conference and won’t make it back in time.
So, all I can say is thank you so much NAIBA for choosing Burn Baby Burn. Party on in my absence and please know how much I appreciate every one of you for loving books and authors as you do.
Congratulations on this award! I loved the book and gave it 5 stars on Goodreads.
Thanks so much Mary Louise!
I love watching your continued success, Meg. Congrats again!
