I want to crow a bit. Months ago I blogged about how much I liked a book called When You Reach Me, by Rebecca Stead. I also talked it up at Capclave, when I was on a YA panel. Yesterday, When You Reach Me won the Newbery!
I feel so smug, I can hardly stand myself. Also of note, last years' winner was Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book so that's two in a row for spec fic.

I haven't read When you Reach me but I'm loving Neil Gaiman's book right now.
he's a master of thrills in this sense.
But really I was more uneasy while reading Coraline. Graveyard book has a tough beginning but then it's a lot less scary.
Thanks for the interview, I hadn't read it :)
