The contenders for School Library Journal's Battle of the Books has been posted. This should give everyone plenty of time to read all the books. I am excited because I only have three to read. The list this is year is the top notch. Monica, Roxanne, and Jonathan did a great job as usual.

I would be happy with almost any of these that I have read winning. Of course I do have my favorites and I know exactly what I will be voting for in the Undead Poll. (Not that I think it will make a difference. Once the Nerdfighters find out about that poll there will be only one possible outcome.)
In other news they are thinking of shaking up the brackets this year and not doing them alphabetically! If you have opinions/suggestions on that be sure to share them in the comments.
