Congrats to the Edgar winners!

For Juvenile, The Quick Fix by Jack D. Ferraiolo won the prize; for YA, Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein.

I read most of the nominees in both categories (didn't make it through all--drat!), and have to say this was the strongest year in nominees I've seen. So big kudos to the winners and the nominees!

Let's all have some cake...
