It seems only appropriate that our first CYBILS Booklist would be about moving! Melissa Fox, bookseller by day, blogger by night, and also Board member, curates our lists.
Our Backlist Booklists is built on a theme and the books are drawn from the last 15 years of reader-nominated titles for our annual awards. As you can see from this representative sample, there are all kinds of books for all kinds of readers.
