The awards results are in -- McKillip's Ombria in Shadow took it for the Adult list, which I think is what should have happened (and I was good -- I reread all three entries over before voting). Summerlands took it for the Childrens' list. I wouldn't have voted for it, but I'm not on the Childrens' committee, and I can see why people with an appreciation of the genre would vote for it. Heck, [livejournal.com profile] mnemex voted for it. His bit was that it was more original than Coraline, though we agreed that Coraline is very, very good. I would have liked to see The Great Good Thing on the Childrens' list, and [livejournal.com profile] mnemex allowed as how it might have gotten his vote had it been there. It would also have been nice to see The Stones are Hatching, but I think GGT would still have gotten my vote. Had I voted. (Note to self: Get sequel to GGT. I gotta see where he takes this.)
