So, good news and bad news, since I've been insanely busy book touring and haven't attended to my blog.The good news:
Parkland: Birth of a Movement,
was longlisted last month for a really prestigious award: the American Library Association's Andrew Carnegie Medal for best nonfiction book of 2019.How cool was that? The year-end awards are just beginning, and gratifying to see
Parklandin the mix. Even more cool: I was nominated alongside Toni Morrison! Unfortunately, they released the short list this week (3 finalists each in fiction and nonfiction), and neither Toni nor I were on it.They come, they go.Meanwhile, Parkland was just nominated for the
Goodreads Choice Award for Best Nonfiction, and you can vote! Please do.There are 3 rounds of voting, and the first is open now. (
Columbineactually won this award 10 years ago, with the help of readers like you.)
