I was pretty surprised with the results. Definitely excited about the Honor for Maggie Stiefvater, but where was the love for Between Shades of Gray or A Monster Calls??? Guess this just means that I have a little more reading to do!

I thought that the Prinz awards were just for first time authors? Clearly I was wrong because The Scorpio Races is in there. I have Where Things Come Back on my bedside table, just haven't gotten to it.
