I am currently reading Kiran Desai.
Sounds like a great book. I'll have to add it to my book list for 2007.
I have Dave Eggers' What is the What waiting for me to read. I'll have to check out some of the poetry, though. Thanks for the list, January.
Thanks for the award list. I'll definitely check a few out.
Can you imagine what it must be like to get that phone call?
For the best description of that thrill, visit Cynthia Lord's blog. Her debut book for young readers, RULES, was named a Newbery Honor book yesterday at ALA. She's a fantastic, warm-hearted person and her story will bring you to tears.

Erin, thanks for the info. I'll check out Cynthia's blog.
Yes, what a thrill it must be to get that call. Very Cool.
I've read one, two and four of the fiction nominees.
